Heart Felt

Autumn Streets

River + Velveteen + Spring

I took these shots a few weeks back. 

I had just finished making this velveteen bonnet and Hugo took it for a test run down to the river. 

The new spring leaves were bursting in vibrant green, just beautiful.

Horses + Irises

Slightly random combination, but a field that we walk past everyday has bloomed in irises!

I presume the owner has planted them, not quite sure why, but the horses don't seem to bother them.

Elderflower cordial time again

The elderflowers are blooming, so that means cordial time again. 

Every year I think to myself I need to make than what I do. 

The children love it as so do we, so refreshing on a hot afternoon.

 

We also made some borage ice cubes, borage is very refreshing, almost with a flavour of cucumber and of course it's so pretty.

Blossoms in the rain & where Hugo thought catkins were caterpillers

 

 

 

When I take photographs of the children I try to stand back and just let them be. 

I didn't know what Hugo was picking up and giving to Sadie until the end.  He thought they were caterpillars!

Blur of Seasons

These shots were taken a month ago, mid August. 

It's an exciting time of the year, you can feel and see the blur of seasons where winter is still present but the push of spring is making itself present. 

Love it.

 

Sadie has taken a real interest in photography lately so I lent her my old Canon.

I will share her shots with you soon.

 

Big puddles & big skies

 

Snow Day

Finally I got the opportunity to take the children up to the top of the hill to experience some snow.

  It wasn't a heavy fall but there was enough to get wet, cold and throw some snow balls at each other. 

Oscar wasn't too impressed with being wet and cold and he slipped over a few times, but the others loved it. 

Oscar's face says it all.

 

Charlie's snowball destined for Sadie.

Though winter is well and truly still here, spring is forcing it's way through. 

Our blossom tree is flowering, early daffodils are blooming and there are plenty of lambs to see in the fields.
