To be honest, I'd rather forgotten about the Covid-19 journal ... however, now that we have a semblance of normality in our lives with The Boy Child back at school, I've picked it up again. Into the album has gone a haircut - just the story and a single embellishment: Included next was a visit … Continue reading Covid-19 | The Journal, Part 5

It also means that Shimelle is running her annual class, Learn Something New Every Day.As with the previous few years, I’m recording what I’ve learned throughout September here.

Week 35: It was a quiet week, with not many photos. Tilly was happy to snooze the morning away after her walk. We walked in the grounds of Pitzhanger Manor. Saturday night suppers are homemade pizzas. 🙂 Week 36: I travelled on public transport for the first time in 6 months. I spent two mornings … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 35 and 36
I've added several double spreads to The Boy Child's album about our Lakeland weekend: Gummer's Howe: Coniston Water: Ulverston: I went back to a simple design from a few years ago (I think it's an Ali original) - plenty of photos and minimal patterned paper and embellishments. What have you been creating recently?

Two more spreads have been added to my Ascension Island album. Both feature photos from walks/hikes I did with friends and colleagues. Ascension had, and probably still does, twenty or more organised Letterbox walks - at the end of each walk there was a 'letterbox' (usually an old ammunition box) which held a stamp and … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #12
London has enjoyed incredible weather over the last few weeks, which has more than made up for the lack of overseas travel. The availability of an online grocery shopping slot appears to be back to pre-Covid times. Series 1 of Virgin River on Netflix is a sweet and easy watch (recommended by the lovely Melissa). … Continue reading Four Fun Things
Week 31: The Boy Child's friend (and his Mum) came round for an hour or so in the garden. I met my friend's gorgeous new puppy. 🙂 I walked Tilly in the grounds of Pitzhanger Manor. We took a picnic lunch to Osterley Park. We spent a very happy Sunday in the countryside. Week 32: … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 31 and 32
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
