#52weeksofschoolrun

For years I've had the notion of taking a weekly photo of an everyday view in my life and watching how it changes over the course of a year and finally I've actually made the notion a reality. 

I realised a couple of months ago that part of our walk to school everyday has become quite a regular photo opportunity.  The light is particularly beautiful when it's low on winter mornings and #52weeksofschoolrun was born on Instagram



I can't wait to see how this view changes and grows of the course of a year. 
It's amazing already looking at how the trees have burst into leaf over the last few weeks.

A Sunday well spent.......

A Sunday well spent brings a week of content!

This Sunday we went on a mini adventure in the woods behind our house





Climbing hills


building dams and then bursting them


swinging on tree swings


splashing in streams


finding out what sinks and what floats in HUGE puddles


and then home to the wood burning stove, hot tea and yummy home made biscuits.

Monday we're ready for you!

Hope you all had a lovely Sunday
xx

A single photo - capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment.

A moment I want to pause, savour and remember

I love this photo of the boys.
Danny at the still, sleeping, contented centre and his big brothers struggling to sit still, as a blur of intense, busy energy.
