The 1st of August is Tommy’s birthday – proper little Yorkshire man. Where there’s a birthday there has to be cake. My granddaughter Layla-Jane loves food and the glee on her face when we just let them have the cake was priceless. Hence today’s prompt – ‘sometimes the only answer is …’ Just as a heads up – I’m off on holiday on Saturday so … Continue reading 2nd Aug just for fun
This post is for our challenge on Sunday 30th July but can obviously be attempted any time http://webneel.com/reflection-photography-inspiration-tips It’s all about ‘Reflections’ I’ve included a link to give you lots of ideas.

Following a thwarted attempt to visit an RHS garden yesterday (it shuts on Mondays) We went to Bolsover castle. With my photo challenge head on I got lots of ideas. This room was just white and had nothing in it. It was strangely appealing. I could see groups of kids creating in here and turning this into an amazing space – but that’s teacher head … Continue reading #photochallengesummer16 26th July
Today’s photo challenge is, on the surface, deceptively simple. Basically – take a photograph to show us all where you are today. I know some of you are in exciting places like rainforests whilst others like myself are in Barnsley but that shouldn’t make a difference to your photographs- notice I said photograph not snapshot!! Stand where you want to take your photo – look … Continue reading #hereiam

I created more flower images based on my photos such as this one here. I based the flowers and poppy seeds on photos and it seemed to work quite well. I … Continue reading Free Motion Embroidery Part 2
My knees are creaking, my back hurts and I can’t see the floor in my study but I’m so pleased with the results of my efforts today! I bought a sewing machine at the end of Oct and have been playing! I was fortunate to attend a thread stitching machine course led by Karen Hall at Oh Sew Sweet in Wombwell I loved the day and came home … Continue reading Free motion embroidery
Finally a cold sunny day. It’s not raining and it’s not grey and miserable. The blue sky was too hard to resist. A lovely walk with photographs of the ice and the decaying flowers in the sunlight. Continue reading Making the most of the cold weather
I love the birds in my garden but also love a walk around our local RSPB site. For the first time in ages – it wasn’t raining and it was a cold sunny day. Spent a lovely hour in the garden hide at Old Moor. There were a group of long tailed tits who are lovely but don’t stay still for very long. The usual … Continue reading Bird watching
