One Photo | Twenty Words

I don't have a favourite great nephew. Of course I don't. But if I did, it would be this one.

Project Life Revisited | Weeks 29 and 30

Week 29: We spent a few more hours walking through the woods at Hughenden. We had an unexpected photo opportunity with Cachirulo and Los Pequeños. We were invited for socially-distanced drinks in a friend's garden and The Boy Child was invited to take a dip ... I made a flip card to record the story. … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 29 and 30 →

One Little Word | Pause – May and June 2020

It's only now, at the back end of July, that I've completed May and June's Pause pages. For May, I chose to record my birthday selfie - complete with a make up-free face and a nasty stye. I couldn't decide on patterned paper, so opted to go without. I blew the dust of a few … Continue reading One Little Word | Pause – May and June 2020 →

The Three of Us, Two Dogs and One Sister-in-Law | Photo Heavy

Since the easing of lockdown began a few weeks ago, we have been meeting up with my lovely sister-in-law weekly to walk our dogs together in the countryside near where she lives. We choose a route through the woods and around farmers' fields which keeps us away from other people. Not that we're anti-sociable, or … Continue reading The Three of Us, Two Dogs and One Sister-in-Law | Photo Heavy →

Covid-19 | The Journal | Part 4

Not much has been added to the Covid-19 journal of late, because I'm using our Project Life album for the every day stuff. There's only so much Lockdown that needs to be recorded, isn't there? I have, however, added Day in the Life from the end of May. I copied and pasted the text from … Continue reading Covid-19 | The Journal | Part 4 →

Life in Lockdown | Family Favourites

Thanks to the easing in the UK lockdown, we've been able to visit The Brainy Boy, The Colombian and our three great nephews. Luckily for them and us, they moved house just 2 weeks before lockdown began and now have a much bigger garden. One that can easily cope with a socially-distanced family get-together. It … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Family Favourites →

Scrapbooking in 2020 #8

My creative mojo has been missing of late; I didn't create a traditional 12x12 page for almost a month. Earlier this week, I went back to basics. I returned to one of my favourite online classes for photos of our great nephews - Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class. Sometimes, simplicity is key. I made a … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #8 →

Project Life Revisited | Weeks 23 and 24

Week 23: I received a bouquet of belated-birthday-flowers from friends. We were able to book a visit to beautiful Waddesdon Manor. Week 24: Tilly had an appointment at the dog groomer. We walked up to school to collect some Maths books and it was great to see some of the staff in person. The highlight … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 23 and 24 →

Life in Lockdown | Life on Hold

I think we're into Week 12 of Lockdown ... but as the weeks are all blurring into each other, I can't say for sure. But I do know that a quarter of 2020 has been put on hold. Life, as we know it, is in suspended animation. The world is still turning. The sun is … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Life on Hold →
