It was a perfect escape an hour and a half out of London. Our days were spent with an early morning walk along the beach followed by yoga and a trip into the nearby town of Rye which is full of lovely antique shops and gift shops. Our afternoons were again spent on the beach followed by a delicious dinner and an early night. Getting away is so good in so many ways and I have come back enthused and full of ideas and projects.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZg3-Q0Ah4JyFxQLH-Tz_GtwgBuzkmqeMfjl_13LVJvsFawfo0Mqdjk0mqSc5vsrtr6q89KCowfYfzQkRecMVGqxqG9gzQ5ccUxiXJw8-AGXsJJeKnxSW31kKFbbwECj0tCFRAxE2_-52YRe6F0_vzrbNFvVXEZCDunshoD_hJ_4Y22c6NK8Qc3FULtc/s5184/L1000477.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Being in England has made me rethink my photography and my comfort zones. I am so used to grabbing my camera for my photo a day, walking along the beach, photographing the sea, surfers, swimmers etc etc, a whole plethora of choices but here in London it's not quite the same. I have swapped my photography equipment, sold a camera and lens for a beautiful second hand option and I am loving it. The new camera is small and I can walk around London with it without being noticed. I am enjoying taking pictures of London life but no theme is emerging. </p><p>I watched a really interesting zoom the other day where they interviewed the very talented <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gretarybus/" target="_blank">Greta Rybus</a> who was so open and honest about her work and struggles with inspiration, and everything to do with photography. It is so nice and refreshing to meet someone who is so happy to talk to others instead of those nameless photographers who give nothing away and only boast! anyway, I digress...what she said was, she took a portrait of a stranger once a week and I decided to do the same and yesterday I went to the Portobello markets and plucked up the courage to ask a random stranger if I could take their portrait.</p><p>Jamal was so lovely and friendly and happily stood whilst I snapped away and panicked and forgot to ask questions etc etc but it was a start and I want to push myself out of my comfort zone and do the same thing each week. How are you pushing yourself in your photography? I would love to know. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCUCRB1JyRreBOzpeGFCnE4pCsM4UOfyUyOqV7mJtavl1n27cwumJeFHun-NeV8x_Gr-VwbHvAdw7nYXHAN2u_gdG2GuLSW6Qr2A4PNPpEX0LMJZPviSco3gCdJ2JIUBUj9kz1o8764gYLP21g1G60fuAaRn28kEGKymcVLLTK18hCLz35CNa-PpBTn8/s3456/L1000418.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2304" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCUCRB1JyRreBOzpeGFCnE4pCsM4UOfyUyOqV7mJtavl1n27cwumJeFHun-NeV8x_Gr-VwbHvAdw7nYXHAN2u_gdG2GuLSW6Qr2A4PNPpEX0LMJZPviSco3gCdJ2JIUBUj9kz1o8764gYLP21g1G60fuAaRn28kEGKymcVLLTK18hCLz35CNa-PpBTn8/w426-h640/L1000418.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-2188156335545191192024-02-13T16:09:00.003+00:002024-02-13T16:09:15.682+00:00The year of the dragon<p>Chinese new year was celebrated over the weekend in London, the year of the dragon. I took a trip to Chinatown to see if I could get some photos. It was absolutely packed but I hung around at the end of the parade and manage to get some pictures of the participants. We used to live in Hong Kong twenty years ago and it still gives me such a thrill to see the lion dances and the red envelopes and lanterns. I miss those days in Hong Kong, it's all so different there now and I know we were so lucky to experience the life and times we had then. To all those born in the year of the dragon I wish you a happy and prosperous year. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0jrDdK4s4PF_YQuGdu8Oz0ASZ5N8UpMOeSzfHwRQrbKCKPWRUYUsvA7ZJ72OyRmA2MsNapSRadvfxQlGrzP0BANSeaj9geRSC-VprKzJjoCZzv6CUC-YZGl1TcI45Jq0GglPPvokgljn8hLlwYNBm2pQZ81CPFNsKYkemZDxnf7xfP8IeEx_dDLZnfc/s5184/L1000312.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I have always needed to be near the water and here in London I am near the Thames but it's just not quite the same.

I went for a sunrise run along Seaford beach</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxHYZM4wZoC_AAIFQcp6lX9J7_A4kWI5H44_fBCer9mZ5aEHoMMyNOZPy4BWCjnm4ys3xR_5Q9yoyKH9bsinnlAF2le68vR1MpRdc0LA3fVWsyJr7VDxZqjcgrBPLKf6NElmlF9W73o-tU68MLYmz4UH7KfMBiy8wW6Whyphenhyphenci8VvLs8d0pOiggVVDlr2_o/s5184/L1000133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I took refuge from the cold this week and visited beautiful Kew Gardens. The garden beds are of course empty of any colour at this time of year but there is such beauty to be found in the majesty of the beautiful bare trees and there are tiny signs of hope with bulbs peeking their heads out. The best place to be was the Palm and Temperate house, home to a staggering amount of ferns etc from around the world. It was hot and steamy and beautiful. I intend to go back every month and chart the progress of the garden as the seasons change. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wWiwgjrqMiU06NJ39UnfULqfZKocbfLuzupyyhe4P8wdnDWk3_lvj2Licwd0M0aP3ziDQnomJr2URPIxImw_RxCJA_zTL63jCz8zgx2T9iW3Rp5WJ2-qq9hpxBXHZ2zwRR-LO9XkgIxVt8ULAVJtOIYmhsvzu7vlUTvAGIQsJBbH9VrNgB2YnFz2VEs/s3000/kew1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="3000" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wWiwgjrqMiU06NJ39UnfULqfZKocbfLuzupyyhe4P8wdnDWk3_lvj2Licwd0M0aP3ziDQnomJr2URPIxImw_RxCJA_zTL63jCz8zgx2T9iW3Rp5WJ2-qq9hpxBXHZ2zwRR-LO9XkgIxVt8ULAVJtOIYmhsvzu7vlUTvAGIQsJBbH9VrNgB2YnFz2VEs/w640-h448/kew1-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1aKCYLtnFZEwkuyF6EqcgeMxePO3__e-iPxaLDEkvjvwnM0_lV0j07CbjvAykFNNuhRR76RfRNVctmESSich3PJlD2Rf44UQpxmifV6Dxk4Cl5UT4sN-W1RhJ4ZTPLB8LiyfjsPJBX6iMNNNvNc3-deoZ0ouHgn9Kydo3EuxKgUXWAGNgzM6e9liEU0/s3000/kew1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="3000" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1aKCYLtnFZEwkuyF6EqcgeMxePO3__e-iPxaLDEkvjvwnM0_lV0j07CbjvAykFNNuhRR76RfRNVctmESSich3PJlD2Rf44UQpxmifV6Dxk4Cl5UT4sN-W1RhJ4ZTPLB8LiyfjsPJBX6iMNNNvNc3-deoZ0ouHgn9Kydo3EuxKgUXWAGNgzM6e9liEU0/w640-h448/kew1-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKK6JxNNpQw_kcmZ8IiqsUUMRfC1wUCKdv4kP55wzk12KMu1VAkRJsDsnWW4E55r1SEKsyAVa1XmmtfmaNPmtMiQ34z0VbPJjWN0FItmtrdQxhAtWfqblYj0AhcVaruN5EOxN_PQVIyJWRsXh-tvgDmE38lE0vvt-YOehjcuRMNDaEO0GVUum3OXodZ8/s3000/kew1-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="3000" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKK6JxNNpQw_kcmZ8IiqsUUMRfC1wUCKdv4kP55wzk12KMu1VAkRJsDsnWW4E55r1SEKsyAVa1XmmtfmaNPmtMiQ34z0VbPJjWN0FItmtrdQxhAtWfqblYj0AhcVaruN5EOxN_PQVIyJWRsXh-tvgDmE38lE0vvt-YOehjcuRMNDaEO0GVUum3OXodZ8/w640-h448/kew1-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtjFhx2z1Oj8RWZxuzIdLjjvmT2P_J5WsnYTu8sXo3j36z23kzbZ4omHf3vnw1h8gM2V2tASuIsg-6lrbMM3CWe5Y8cr5HNcdBgYAli5FalkhsVu2qIsxaYgZOoWKH6LkN1gzE6Pb1ObbGC4QRgplz4i4VrvW1TltAV3v1Yk7Ma6UZ-EO5tJIcG5j5PaA/s3000/kew1-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="3000" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtjFhx2z1Oj8RWZxuzIdLjjvmT2P_J5WsnYTu8sXo3j36z23kzbZ4omHf3vnw1h8gM2V2tASuIsg-6lrbMM3CWe5Y8cr5HNcdBgYAli5FalkhsVu2qIsxaYgZOoWKH6LkN1gzE6Pb1ObbGC4QRgplz4i4VrvW1TltAV3v1Yk7Ma6UZ-EO5tJIcG5j5PaA/w640-h448/kew1-4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-48620597512401772292024-01-02T09:30:00.001+00:002024-01-02T09:30:58.324+00:002024<p> I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year? I don't think I can read another diet or goal planning article and it's on day two of 2024. I had thought about setting 'goals', not resolutions, I have set a couple but don't really want to commit them to written words as I am sure I will feel bad if I don't achieve them. I thought I would write about what is happening around me at the moment instead.</p><p><b>Sounds -</b> the birds are chirping now first thing in the morning and that makes me so happy! It's pitch black when I get up to walk max but I can hear birdsong and it's wonderful. In Fulham where I live, there are so many lorikeets - someone released them years ago and they continue to breed and the sound takes me back to Sydney each time I hear it. </p><p><b>See - </b>I am continuing with my mission to see two cultural things a week (got a bit sidetracked over Christmas). I did go to <a href="https://accidentallywesanderson.com/" target="_blank">Accidentally Wes Anderson</a> the other day which I wouldn't recommend unless you are fully into tik tok and under the age of 30! </p><p><b>Taste -</b> My daughter gave me the most wonderful cookbook for Christmas <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-secret-of-cooking/bee-wilson/9780008446451" target="_blank">Bee Wilson the secret of cooking </a> It's one of those books you want to just take to bed and read. It is more of a common sense cookbook, but comforting common sense, not someone bamboozling you with ingredients you have to wander the high street trying to find. I am working my way through the soup section at the moment and she has this wonderful formula to go by - 800g of vegetables, 800g water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 40g butter and put everything chopped into a pan and simmer for 45 minutes and add I tablespoon of lemon juice and chopped herbs at the end and blitz! so simple and delicious. </p><p><b>Smell - </b>I have filled the house with paperwhites and the smell has been amazing. Due to the central heating in the house they have bloomed very early but they are great to have in the house over the winter months blooming at different times. I absolutely love candles and my Christmas candle actually finished last night so I am on the hunt for a new one, I love the smell of fig candles, remind me of panelled libraries and winter fires. </p><p><b>Feel - </b>I am still feeling a bit unsettled in our new country and I am finding that running my hands through my dog's coat and stroking him whilst watching tv or reading a book is such a way to feel grounded and safe, Max loves it and it brings me a sense of calm. </p><p>And finally, here in the UK you always buy amaryllis bulbs before Christmas and mine has been going for about a month and yesterday it came out in all its glory! they are so beautiful and are normally red but I went for the candy striped look, it brings me joy each day on my kitchen table, what do you think?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEislFG6DBY4RmIg_VVB60sKwgOxsRiCFw5fl5X_XaRGmMwwMw4Ts06tdxf1Farh4bbBPGcvAs3CDPQBubHEp5nLfXv8XizyJSKsOq4wcAgDMYWP-NvyAaupBNNMNHHoKuhLQyyu6czLFFCwqZ8nXMUNJAyUomxHw0IVIxqcysqrP8cU2t9PTyIHhGvQvHc/s3456/L1020941.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2306" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEislFG6DBY4RmIg_VVB60sKwgOxsRiCFw5fl5X_XaRGmMwwMw4Ts06tdxf1Farh4bbBPGcvAs3CDPQBubHEp5nLfXv8XizyJSKsOq4wcAgDMYWP-NvyAaupBNNMNHHoKuhLQyyu6czLFFCwqZ8nXMUNJAyUomxHw0IVIxqcysqrP8cU2t9PTyIHhGvQvHc/w428-h640/L1020941.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVjcpd4i1jQ0LJzH3y7VfAdlDIiar4TLB-_mzy1u55ptc1afrS78bbx7Sp7VhHJVJt3guo-DydsGne86KBKbLEIZtXhg9S4WSMThtVwJMtuhyC_7WzIzctsJOK_uqU4j0N542Vhzrg4qAPWKlcOdGJvZySir2GTmgwH5wD63L5qn9KDLZkhk29nCbmoVw/s3456/L1020943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2306" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVjcpd4i1jQ0LJzH3y7VfAdlDIiar4TLB-_mzy1u55ptc1afrS78bbx7Sp7VhHJVJt3guo-DydsGne86KBKbLEIZtXhg9S4WSMThtVwJMtuhyC_7WzIzctsJOK_uqU4j0N542Vhzrg4qAPWKlcOdGJvZySir2GTmgwH5wD63L5qn9KDLZkhk29nCbmoVw/w428-h640/L1020943.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-33116503409154568412023-12-19T13:59:00.000+00:002023-12-19T13:59:03.117+00:00Winter days<p> I am constantly battling with the English light at the moment. I only take photos using natural light and for the last ten years I have been able to put my ISO on 100 and step outside to photograph various scenes or people or places in Sydney. If I take my camera out at the moment and use an ISO of 100 I have to switch my photographs to black and white and this does create some wonderful moody winter shots, but I am not drawn to the moody black and white feel. <br /><br />Today is pouring with rain and the longing to be back in the 40 degree heat of Sydney has spurned me on to try something different to get out of my fug so I got out the beautiful old vintage Burgundy glasses and decided to place my hyacinths in them. My hyacinths have decided to bloom in the central heating and are all drooping and spilling over my vases, I decided they were perfect for this assignment. I set everything up in the kitchen and set my ISO to 640 and placed the glasses in front of a black backdrop and used my 85mm on my Canon 5D at F1.4 and 1/250 and hand held. What do you think?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWA-j4iB_VpQPlBNR89PC0C6UwYx-M04cXbc570HLItE-MW7XshkEcDj2kZ9JRJy0on0ABJ2nw2V_L3UoY9kVtjZM3ijS_sllH548aSb06UkGie-M7YoDXFAYCOrxVkhhpeBXDRWMmgDXr90DLVPR6g6eUscxB7cYCWwEPyPE7VYPVPMvxQT2BGJ7JVdY/s3456/_J7A2589.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2304" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWA-j4iB_VpQPlBNR89PC0C6UwYx-M04cXbc570HLItE-MW7XshkEcDj2kZ9JRJy0on0ABJ2nw2V_L3UoY9kVtjZM3ijS_sllH548aSb06UkGie-M7YoDXFAYCOrxVkhhpeBXDRWMmgDXr90DLVPR6g6eUscxB7cYCWwEPyPE7VYPVPMvxQT2BGJ7JVdY/w426-h640/_J7A2589.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVaLSdvdnrR9KWFoh_3F43MrKyEM3SwMRr-NUwcamtPl18-Sb2cQanufI2MlunrCyC2FSTTng4b5_8EFnEhyphenhyphenuKNOxXYTxJUCngM7CWTBOdGaOOLOS9LI2Sg3b2Ne-n4Ms4WOPxi4vUjV3uzcWEHdF_am7gpXWZherQec9uvXm29PvuLPaXdteExwTaoMg/s5184/_J7A2590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5184" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVaLSdvdnrR9KWFoh_3F43MrKyEM3SwMRr-NUwcamtPl18-Sb2cQanufI2MlunrCyC2FSTTng4b5_8EFnEhyphenhyphenuKNOxXYTxJUCngM7CWTBOdGaOOLOS9LI2Sg3b2Ne-n4Ms4WOPxi4vUjV3uzcWEHdF_am7gpXWZherQec9uvXm29PvuLPaXdteExwTaoMg/w640-h426/_J7A2590.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqVvDEc5pd5hsLw_kxUMm1Wc2kBi_8eA0XWkoiVsbsokrucc0Wk1rrHbehbno6kC7hC1MYgqE8Qrgoa-5cxZqpNYlCNbHBJiVZONMEVs4xR0GQgiZnqR-xYU7p5hdQMcl0eJPUJ9SxFeyp7qXl6sBaMfFyQBBe5DhZB1iuTbObK5yK1ky_SJLxaNZcs8/s3456/_J7A2597.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2304" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqVvDEc5pd5hsLw_kxUMm1Wc2kBi_8eA0XWkoiVsbsokrucc0Wk1rrHbehbno6kC7hC1MYgqE8Qrgoa-5cxZqpNYlCNbHBJiVZONMEVs4xR0GQgiZnqR-xYU7p5hdQMcl0eJPUJ9SxFeyp7qXl6sBaMfFyQBBe5DhZB1iuTbObK5yK1ky_SJLxaNZcs8/w426-h640/_J7A2597.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-45546382554618979402023-12-10T09:59:00.003+00:002023-12-10T09:59:39.698+00:00Vienna<p> I have just come back from four days in Vienna, a city I have never been to and one that I fell in love with instantly.

It was beautiful at 7am when I walked Max, fingers numb and cheeks frozen and as soon as I could I got back out with my camera I went to our local garden walk that doesn't open till 10am annoyingly but I still managed to see enough to get me excited and realise again that there is so much beauty in winter. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am fortunate enough to be able to raid my mother's garden and forage for everything I need and this morning I spent the most relaxing morning make wreaths. Have you ever tried to make one? it's so easy and such a lovely thing to do when it is pouring with rain and cold like today. </p><p>First you need to get your ring - I bought mine off amazon and also ordered live moss, floristry wire and some red ribbon. The first thing you need to do is attach your floristry wire to the ring and then its just a matter of grabbing large handfuls of your moss and wrapping the wire around it and pulling it tight. Eventually you will end up with a circle full of moss like this -</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLkpnOY_g-dGLkn2fP9s_FQMtmYr8aAvztxDfq44JDL6NpiF05E2Pu29h_c3VGlkVNXAs-vzJ2AFyqOcCt982CvKYX8XG7MK7ZvVPYyTKcD3IHmDULu954Ko6eAILFl_L9WXiPgdTkLsrc7CLUyF7VSXTQ_eSYGBIkvFVUfhYP54S2Lr6sDtNmZufzSzQ/s5179/L1020708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLkpnOY_g-dGLkn2fP9s_FQMtmYr8aAvztxDfq44JDL6NpiF05E2Pu29h_c3VGlkVNXAs-vzJ2AFyqOcCt982CvKYX8XG7MK7ZvVPYyTKcD3IHmDULu954Ko6eAILFl_L9WXiPgdTkLsrc7CLUyF7VSXTQ_eSYGBIkvFVUfhYP54S2Lr6sDtNmZufzSzQ/w640-h428/L1020708.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>The next thing you need to do is gather all your beautiful greenery into piles - berries, holly etc and then you use the fir tree to create a second layer around the ring and again hold it all in place with the floristry wire.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir3tOnGWzcvASscQjFWmioZcPfgxpafjqT-vtloTwgaiK76-LHaB6eJ4cfqRVT1_sR6t1Z4hfJUrbNHP-AmMOGQLpbHMPWl8bMk9lCY1S6JgmY9SE1RluY1oS9qUXm1kH1VaZKL_bT4sWWWP24Nn2XAtDyku0xnToyxlIxjW5k4yw2j34BP1n7s8Kx1L4/s5179/L1020706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir3tOnGWzcvASscQjFWmioZcPfgxpafjqT-vtloTwgaiK76-LHaB6eJ4cfqRVT1_sR6t1Z4hfJUrbNHP-AmMOGQLpbHMPWl8bMk9lCY1S6JgmY9SE1RluY1oS9qUXm1kH1VaZKL_bT4sWWWP24Nn2XAtDyku0xnToyxlIxjW5k4yw2j34BP1n7s8Kx1L4/w640-h428/L1020706.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcf6b-llQ6NrAvMFwT8AmZTfOwhLuz-P4Q-XtRZrNbSA3jxHcfEEPckFaftNZ1lcuhTN-KUrDsVfJuRlz6Qd7UDrZxC7JHQIl3pkymfmrhrIo3aux5OMD7Btpo4SyyUTHhkahahAkuJmSql2CV7VuT5ZktWDqpOYaHPqgomhrLiF4QOtfSJAbbbVJ_6_I/s5179/L1020705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcf6b-llQ6NrAvMFwT8AmZTfOwhLuz-P4Q-XtRZrNbSA3jxHcfEEPckFaftNZ1lcuhTN-KUrDsVfJuRlz6Qd7UDrZxC7JHQIl3pkymfmrhrIo3aux5OMD7Btpo4SyyUTHhkahahAkuJmSql2CV7VuT5ZktWDqpOYaHPqgomhrLiF4QOtfSJAbbbVJ_6_I/w640-h428/L1020705.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHetzSqDOLWOU3hmntGUViE5fMowpxcFKaf4YtOzRPO8U3XfikWFNj-RW807guRRt6kGZ60xCdEAPu9ksoWRuxOj_AIpK3R_PHXKPElzm0aLSSJeIbZXYHP0EMza1O1CGtgHizcZyNA3SzZBSJGg8TOrniSZthi0_9qLmydtEB2-dOs_z7fzBjNnJG0eo/s5179/L1020707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHetzSqDOLWOU3hmntGUViE5fMowpxcFKaf4YtOzRPO8U3XfikWFNj-RW807guRRt6kGZ60xCdEAPu9ksoWRuxOj_AIpK3R_PHXKPElzm0aLSSJeIbZXYHP0EMza1O1CGtgHizcZyNA3SzZBSJGg8TOrniSZthi0_9qLmydtEB2-dOs_z7fzBjNnJG0eo/w640-h428/L1020707.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwxgJ1wCGAIsbg_rR1tbjHFegvaCeu7Nxzh1Qr64Iv0FQtKwMFIy6p6FLfVLePjkUlWXjw8eMM6V2XqbdTWKIbITVBJ0gPTgj4rZCbQdxHpaCjOLqH-DS7imUZVDvauwDFmBOWOrR-8ozUs_c91DB-lw6Tdo3rHVEXWYLLF1qHYm8yqAxqVLdri8k9pY/s5179/L1020709.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwxgJ1wCGAIsbg_rR1tbjHFegvaCeu7Nxzh1Qr64Iv0FQtKwMFIy6p6FLfVLePjkUlWXjw8eMM6V2XqbdTWKIbITVBJ0gPTgj4rZCbQdxHpaCjOLqH-DS7imUZVDvauwDFmBOWOrR-8ozUs_c91DB-lw6Tdo3rHVEXWYLLF1qHYm8yqAxqVLdri8k9pY/w640-h428/L1020709.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Then it is just a matter of slowly putting all the lovely greenery on to your wreath, tuck everything in under the wire and make sure you can't see any of the moss anywhere.

I read an article the other day about how everyone in the UK complains about the weather but we are in fact so lucky to have four seasons. These are very distinct seasons that require a complete change every three months from food to clothing, from sun to snow, and something that I had completely forgotten about for the last ten years of living in Sydney. At the moment the pavements are covered in all kinds of beautiful colours from the falling leaves. I am trying to find beauty in every walk here and I am constantly drawn to the local Cemetery which sounds rather morbid but is actually very beautiful and a lovely oasis of green and an escape from the streets where everyone seems to be in a huge rush. I have also been experimenting with using a vintage lens on my DSLR. I have been using my old Nikon 50mm with an adapter and its fun to manually focus and get that vintage look to my photos. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipC6cYkIjFYszdpmBEi3iAP8RzDiYc1cKKcreieWrRUtvCOJ9k0XovSuQGL32t6utFYhZapr7Wbr-xf5Y9wIRNXJbfQe7cmqMwm6x8a_GZ1Sk3PQ6kXO2AN-LqZSe7x7cCZ8hyA386HBcXwYtly55ApVqyZuGFyhiS0sNb63REoS1k-WQW1ZDHb0LLUyk/s5179/L1020659.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipC6cYkIjFYszdpmBEi3iAP8RzDiYc1cKKcreieWrRUtvCOJ9k0XovSuQGL32t6utFYhZapr7Wbr-xf5Y9wIRNXJbfQe7cmqMwm6x8a_GZ1Sk3PQ6kXO2AN-LqZSe7x7cCZ8hyA386HBcXwYtly55ApVqyZuGFyhiS0sNb63REoS1k-WQW1ZDHb0LLUyk/w640-h428/L1020659.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk1gKr7MPqnikWLN638ThhOJA5l-42UtZ7FldZAIEp5ZqGy6ZE3Pkd2vvtOpF0OixXT55K186NLvjxaG6hBcwwv0lgWVCF-fn-ntuxvyAs5cZ1zD93rGPv75UAdm5ndvhBQW7mfVeenCY1XN8bJpWwRokm9csyamZi2sxcMR3gsEnkoEgfWUib-qr2SVI/s5179/L1020667.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk1gKr7MPqnikWLN638ThhOJA5l-42UtZ7FldZAIEp5ZqGy6ZE3Pkd2vvtOpF0OixXT55K186NLvjxaG6hBcwwv0lgWVCF-fn-ntuxvyAs5cZ1zD93rGPv75UAdm5ndvhBQW7mfVeenCY1XN8bJpWwRokm9csyamZi2sxcMR3gsEnkoEgfWUib-qr2SVI/w640-h428/L1020667.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4sEcxQxhi7Cgt39Pc_hldW4ig25iRcD394MHI2JYhyphenhyphenZtbjLBYx89k89v4xC1avoe13T9xTk-ZcHUaql5GfhQx0D7IDkCuBIGZEegXM-BmqVl48kgj3rl3JEH37ZaCG9GXxIJVM35KwvqfauUzeJ8t-7lH0E29Jrq-eIUVFdgoiYU6n5CEzDUxLlRVLT8/s5179/L1020670.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4sEcxQxhi7Cgt39Pc_hldW4ig25iRcD394MHI2JYhyphenhyphenZtbjLBYx89k89v4xC1avoe13T9xTk-ZcHUaql5GfhQx0D7IDkCuBIGZEegXM-BmqVl48kgj3rl3JEH37ZaCG9GXxIJVM35KwvqfauUzeJ8t-7lH0E29Jrq-eIUVFdgoiYU6n5CEzDUxLlRVLT8/w640-h428/L1020670.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEPg9YxvF-x-McBAS26iDV74vrvnvIDOvGmh3Au0BNFrod4LhfDrKCDrPnGsd_lFLLp4tag7-oqlB7hnwmN5JPYHwbhRiyjO0diEppCmKlyu3w9ZU5ggl6EytahnAuAlgtfkPHG_ieXGGUEEvXiKFdx7B_oD6CUocNErWgqHSreb1bFnys-7ef7g36grk/s5179/L1020671.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEPg9YxvF-x-McBAS26iDV74vrvnvIDOvGmh3Au0BNFrod4LhfDrKCDrPnGsd_lFLLp4tag7-oqlB7hnwmN5JPYHwbhRiyjO0diEppCmKlyu3w9ZU5ggl6EytahnAuAlgtfkPHG_ieXGGUEEvXiKFdx7B_oD6CUocNErWgqHSreb1bFnys-7ef7g36grk/w640-h428/L1020671.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Something else I love doing at this time of year is planting up my hyacinth bulbs indoors. I have been buying bulbs off the street flower sellers and just taking them out of their pots and placing them in various bowls - the one here is actually a vintage pestle and mortar, perfect for the job. These small rituals bring colour to the house on a cold winter day which I know is coming. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBnLxcymRSoUykhbQD3m0RQEZiLubuA0pLvkbTLD2Nqqt0kuSsFcEmvGwSP7DUt73rfna1ITqp08bB4hhurZihzBOLwxdCRquXMqYe2uXhD5zNG1GTmrGfsLF2LEPRSJs_vX-LcCs2NtKhV5lhXETt8WqPu48bcEk-0A3T3HgsDrNavI6fdL2SzGt5-L0/s5179/L1020686.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBnLxcymRSoUykhbQD3m0RQEZiLubuA0pLvkbTLD2Nqqt0kuSsFcEmvGwSP7DUt73rfna1ITqp08bB4hhurZihzBOLwxdCRquXMqYe2uXhD5zNG1GTmrGfsLF2LEPRSJs_vX-LcCs2NtKhV5lhXETt8WqPu48bcEk-0A3T3HgsDrNavI6fdL2SzGt5-L0/w640-h428/L1020686.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwVRPMarl9mvm88lfXGkZpA1s7vw7PYiXZR03pA5HF7cr7TuZQgS949h8u4SMae6I3DxnkeK1FX5IqBYvUpoOEeZs8vBgAOwgKRQhPjx1WNyjPWAs8OutPN_ADb9vIpdJGsnXwkFqRNdREyYJOweuVU5ioXvVE2Nb8NwtES8YfleJCg_MoZNyVcgTUYQ/s5179/L1020687.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwVRPMarl9mvm88lfXGkZpA1s7vw7PYiXZR03pA5HF7cr7TuZQgS949h8u4SMae6I3DxnkeK1FX5IqBYvUpoOEeZs8vBgAOwgKRQhPjx1WNyjPWAs8OutPN_ADb9vIpdJGsnXwkFqRNdREyYJOweuVU5ioXvVE2Nb8NwtES8YfleJCg_MoZNyVcgTUYQ/w640-h428/L1020687.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtki7kGzoBrukmxH_43QaWtL1Bzs5h-EGO8Nr6bFMtsbHn3SPeerwvER3HIDw6OJQU1ZzNswcwqQuda5DOEKLnFA68XXoRk4dbxHyevUTQ4yg-hERbxCvtvMMogTCsOS9GdAbDxcVyPT62UO8TAQHMwoXbvRo20GCm36hkE0fmz8QGSPmGjAA15F8GTDY/s5179/L1020688.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtki7kGzoBrukmxH_43QaWtL1Bzs5h-EGO8Nr6bFMtsbHn3SPeerwvER3HIDw6OJQU1ZzNswcwqQuda5DOEKLnFA68XXoRk4dbxHyevUTQ4yg-hERbxCvtvMMogTCsOS9GdAbDxcVyPT62UO8TAQHMwoXbvRo20GCm36hkE0fmz8QGSPmGjAA15F8GTDY/w640-h428/L1020688.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-49693874276732476702023-10-24T14:43:00.000+01:002023-10-24T14:43:20.358+01:00Lately<p> Time is whizzing by as we get used to living in London again. It's hard to adjust and I must confess that I am missing Sydney. I miss the sounds of the Kookaburras first thing in the morning and the cockatoos, all part of the morning chorus and you just don't hear birdsong in London. I miss nature and the ocean and I am looking for beauty everywhere to replace it and I am looking up, down, searching and slowly it's coming. We spent a morning in the local woods last week and I spotted a mandarin duck - their colours are magnificent and with winter coming on it made me think how much I would love a coat or jumper in the same colours, wouldn't you?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl1aG6yKUEVpqZHbxUpsKUNGe6OPkueLqsgvFq6-RetDdRjevROdE-LartyKV-9HimCr_KL5N4CUkrEzyyoZR_dWbL2w3wIZih-mTz6iRgwRtlGWEq6AVOSSJoIvpU59QuOghWsYvORMl5DJzENnNhl-H14YJH0u_wBGwM02hi3uEaCCxXHr7P1aaRxtw/s4320/_J7A1982.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4320" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl1aG6yKUEVpqZHbxUpsKUNGe6OPkueLqsgvFq6-RetDdRjevROdE-LartyKV-9HimCr_KL5N4CUkrEzyyoZR_dWbL2w3wIZih-mTz6iRgwRtlGWEq6AVOSSJoIvpU59QuOghWsYvORMl5DJzENnNhl-H14YJH0u_wBGwM02hi3uEaCCxXHr7P1aaRxtw/w640-h512/_J7A1982.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>We went to the Kent countryside on another outing and had a wonderful time enjoying the autumn air and had lunch in a pub and took Max the dog, something you can't do in sydney. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YQ2dd55nBWR1uAwXaUCNr8ckuKi9eTwp2hz0nNGym0MxSdFzQqs19r30jriakCZ8CCJjHA6xqG3dFTNm1St0V0l06cr8TY8vFIEwwOWilSTV81LqJmivGWvSzAP4dWwobksrEmpgjefl4aLGih7MFtwH7adxoGLEfxlALx6Z5WPSwMciKgE9joO2sHI/s5179/L1020633.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YQ2dd55nBWR1uAwXaUCNr8ckuKi9eTwp2hz0nNGym0MxSdFzQqs19r30jriakCZ8CCJjHA6xqG3dFTNm1St0V0l06cr8TY8vFIEwwOWilSTV81LqJmivGWvSzAP4dWwobksrEmpgjefl4aLGih7MFtwH7adxoGLEfxlALx6Z5WPSwMciKgE9joO2sHI/w640-h428/L1020633.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirLF8zz-YQl0kGrFSUpCMvOp5fUmvF8VLFeID9M3HFSGC3qZree2pwn2pwtKvzyKxymWjbd-veNgSqAkIQKuGeXMaWnBwLk9_-Yl-RozY17d06pPAPcE2UZmMj5HlFgzfTNrPmAG1s03i48LI08Gv2DPiCtBqeyKlvbJrJTDR9UKyjwUnFKjz9STH-OvA/s5179/L1020629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirLF8zz-YQl0kGrFSUpCMvOp5fUmvF8VLFeID9M3HFSGC3qZree2pwn2pwtKvzyKxymWjbd-veNgSqAkIQKuGeXMaWnBwLk9_-Yl-RozY17d06pPAPcE2UZmMj5HlFgzfTNrPmAG1s03i48LI08Gv2DPiCtBqeyKlvbJrJTDR9UKyjwUnFKjz9STH-OvA/w640-h428/L1020629.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0D3CR94IaoNhCE_Hmjk4XLziKv0MLW4Z_7f5n-Q0zZWQlDY00VSxlwE-S2h9yxhiaTU2V2b3NPhrIY2QMCv4kLFQJfUpoFVfvDBq31VpaizlLx-5SVNRBXcL0IKk3aSHFuILpID-CjMHbx6QlZO7N7yXpceb9Cimd4tJW1VkAQCLNhebe87tARKRaK_Q/s5179/L1020631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0D3CR94IaoNhCE_Hmjk4XLziKv0MLW4Z_7f5n-Q0zZWQlDY00VSxlwE-S2h9yxhiaTU2V2b3NPhrIY2QMCv4kLFQJfUpoFVfvDBq31VpaizlLx-5SVNRBXcL0IKk3aSHFuILpID-CjMHbx6QlZO7N7yXpceb9Cimd4tJW1VkAQCLNhebe87tARKRaK_Q/w640-h428/L1020631.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8vXMTskMiv_yt6akNg2uO1CPsPWcdMBy-eEIH7WYHjTbm1eEONfoFuN2VNMHBHOI31KF0Afx_b1Phb_ba65EBurHUfBt_ZM5sZDR4hhCgFyaQLY5rVBasHcNt2aRj_x7Y5OPojqPzyhZFh2fC8SOM01koru5oQL6YBreGRY4N9RegHytbqmn-LVtfFHA/s5179/L1020632.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8vXMTskMiv_yt6akNg2uO1CPsPWcdMBy-eEIH7WYHjTbm1eEONfoFuN2VNMHBHOI31KF0Afx_b1Phb_ba65EBurHUfBt_ZM5sZDR4hhCgFyaQLY5rVBasHcNt2aRj_x7Y5OPojqPzyhZFh2fC8SOM01koru5oQL6YBreGRY4N9RegHytbqmn-LVtfFHA/w640-h428/L1020632.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I photographed a beautiful family - Remy, Chloe and Ollie.

I've been to see the Chanel exhibiton and the V and A, a David Hockney show, I can't think what else but I am trying to do one cultural thing a week. I have started a gratitude journal and you have to write your daily three things but also what were the highlights and what would improve the day. I am only into day 5 but already I can see it is helping me change my mindset and try and be more positive about our new life here as it has so many positives.</div><div>I have also gone back to instagram - such a love/hate relationship but this time around it is actually helping me as I have started my own project of photographing the doors around me. Its nearly halloween and people are doing these amazing decorations and so many seem to have autumn wreathes on their doors. By having this project and putting it on instagram, I am able to look for doors etc, instead of passing with my head down in a grey fug.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCTPvXys9W6GWtJNAT5y6woRnKXBRhXZdIqo8-PzwE3Zi9jGd-gRl50uN7ryyRklE_DFtXhC1VdkOMZPZE0js38nZlzdvyUexoYoIzMVpg-reWdZxzRZemwv6mTUgm-WINFcVa-HsncCZcd4IE2qLfT4hkXgb_NxW-Pezl3zCqiezYzK1YY93jDeCsPWI/s3456/_J7A1991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2304" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCTPvXys9W6GWtJNAT5y6woRnKXBRhXZdIqo8-PzwE3Zi9jGd-gRl50uN7ryyRklE_DFtXhC1VdkOMZPZE0js38nZlzdvyUexoYoIzMVpg-reWdZxzRZemwv6mTUgm-WINFcVa-HsncCZcd4IE2qLfT4hkXgb_NxW-Pezl3zCqiezYzK1YY93jDeCsPWI/w426-h640/_J7A1991.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe2bsR9rnka3L_Z1bKzjeN0mJDr_bQEMyKO8IsnOOHqYMl6bcdi_iJGu0IYjQnSP44cRqSqp6hf7B1IIVoAyteBMvzltSvfsPYFe5treZq9uvtxl_ka6XxIH4y86M7-0fqmkjzWSpkk33EI9Dz5VnaGk0QeiHhY5MQAJ8GZ7pQpKkVOfL4MMt85ErvPG0/s5179/L1020638.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe2bsR9rnka3L_Z1bKzjeN0mJDr_bQEMyKO8IsnOOHqYMl6bcdi_iJGu0IYjQnSP44cRqSqp6hf7B1IIVoAyteBMvzltSvfsPYFe5treZq9uvtxl_ka6XxIH4y86M7-0fqmkjzWSpkk33EI9Dz5VnaGk0QeiHhY5MQAJ8GZ7pQpKkVOfL4MMt85ErvPG0/w640-h428/L1020638.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOaHgkdQ8JTt0MB1ntFI5wABk7GehqetYIqoN771dRrn0E8i8YC7_KNHO8mcsfKbgbtRnIrxRLtJIrPs8V_fzE2IpPagaC-sZmZglGi2NI1NYHfW8Gce4LAOxjyJ6CxfEe-h-iawMWbxaOhD4VNEuo40eP0BhzvJdT6VNGH9pwXkUkCJeqk4Q0UYZgTs/s5179/L1020639-Enhanced-NR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOaHgkdQ8JTt0MB1ntFI5wABk7GehqetYIqoN771dRrn0E8i8YC7_KNHO8mcsfKbgbtRnIrxRLtJIrPs8V_fzE2IpPagaC-sZmZglGi2NI1NYHfW8Gce4LAOxjyJ6CxfEe-h-iawMWbxaOhD4VNEuo40eP0BhzvJdT6VNGH9pwXkUkCJeqk4Q0UYZgTs/w640-h428/L1020639-Enhanced-NR.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QlLAZF6WdkNfZY6BRBtNgzEHAtVBn2uvVCPL3T3AUZ6WnE0i56LQfIu0Un1PrAKQQv0tMVcC0P9iNi4PiFoGrfgrv1Do56JTfkt30EJLffktv27omWkPvgzuEitwZCjE738x-AB7z9tHTj8BGKevSfU1Fykor6Dg8xc-GEXTbDBUOos9BNPdb-nevbM/s3456/L1020641.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2306" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QlLAZF6WdkNfZY6BRBtNgzEHAtVBn2uvVCPL3T3AUZ6WnE0i56LQfIu0Un1PrAKQQv0tMVcC0P9iNi4PiFoGrfgrv1Do56JTfkt30EJLffktv27omWkPvgzuEitwZCjE738x-AB7z9tHTj8BGKevSfU1Fykor6Dg8xc-GEXTbDBUOos9BNPdb-nevbM/w428-h640/L1020641.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br /><div>what have you been up to lately?<br /><p><br /></p></div>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-69128949702584883082023-10-01T09:55:00.001+01:002023-10-01T09:55:15.641+01:00 A few things<p> I have just read Leanne's blog over at <a href="http://knowwheretostand.blogspot.com" target="_blank">knowing where to stand</a> and she has done a post using alphabetical prompts so I thought I would give it a go too. I am struggling to blog and thinking about what to write leads to me spending too long with my fingers hovering over the keyboard so this seems an easier option. We have now been in London for a month and I thought I would take stock.</p><p><b>Admiring - </b>London is a city for watching, I am a people watcher and it drives my family mad as I invariably point too, which isn't good. I love standing on the tube seeing what people are wearing, what colour their glasses are, hats, shoes, hours of watching. I also find people are so polite even thought they are all squashed in like sardines and you are inches away from someones armpit whilst hanging onto the rail.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjQWSBfJ5qTsGNRAlheGFN4SuqPyZIKnlXQEBQRkB-UFiHAJz2R-EM17V0czDF3pVXTujRPT_X8cS6iWn9MaY0SZHPfP9tV4azSNf8cs41IDja_ewnsSqC73XfrUFigF6BNhmRFcPd0uNjgIGNcXCOvlImYXuUPqiUytfXBcpFuJGjSIy-cJ5RDclsi5Y/s5184/_J7A0869.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5184" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjQWSBfJ5qTsGNRAlheGFN4SuqPyZIKnlXQEBQRkB-UFiHAJz2R-EM17V0czDF3pVXTujRPT_X8cS6iWn9MaY0SZHPfP9tV4azSNf8cs41IDja_ewnsSqC73XfrUFigF6BNhmRFcPd0uNjgIGNcXCOvlImYXuUPqiUytfXBcpFuJGjSIy-cJ5RDclsi5Y/w640-h426/_J7A0869.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><b>Becoming - </b>I feel I am becoming a bit more used to things after being here a month.

Whenever we have moved which is very very often - I always stand in each room and remember lovely things that have taken place, it could be remembering someone staying or a dinner, little things which are part of the process of saying goodbye.

I keep reminding myself change is good and it will be wonderful but I will miss my beautiful part of the world with the sun and sea and the lovely blue sky. I read this quote today by Wallace J. Nicholas who refers to this as "blue mind: the meditative state that people fall into when they are near or in water. Characterised by calm, peacefulness and a general sense of happiness"</p><p>I have so many pictures of the water, you have probably seen them all on this blog but I thought I would just put a few more here.</p><p> I am up to day 188 of my 365 and I have decided to participate in<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CvPWiyBNVvy/?img_index=1" target="_blank"> Susannah Conways August Break</a> - I am doing that over at<a href="https://www.instagram.com/throughthelightbarrier/" target="_blank"> throughthelightbarrier</a> on my other instagram account if you want to join me.</p><p>Are you watching hijack on Apple TV? if you aren't, you should be! don't let the title put you off as it's so much more than a hijack, all about strategy and manipulation, fantastic. I also started watching Is it cake on Netflix, wow who knew you could make cakes like they do?</p><p>I have just finished<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Covenant-Water-Abraham-Verghese/dp/1804710423/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HT82M8FLSPYA&keywords=covenant+of+water&qid=1690932085&sprefix=covenant+%2Caps%2C347&sr=8-1" target="_blank"> the covenant of water</a> don't let the size of the book put you off as it's a truly fantastic read, set in India and you learn so much, I urge you to read it.</p><p>I turned 60 on Monday and feel exactly the same a few days later having worried about it for months! it was a chance to reconnect with old friends and feel loved and liked and it made me feel so happy. I am looking forward to getting my seniors card before I leave here and then in England you can travel on the tube and bus for free as a senior so it is a win win!</p><p>Enjoy this month </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9viz9C6C6wcopWYnN5K-l3QrTtMIAmN0iMBzDRWwkE_FqNLYHoy_k2MVOeehYr39xV9Qz5b3exjGlJ2IaOFK6Ad9TiVaw8m3LsnIY7alNdTVcMLxEz5a2jh408BiDGwCDp4AHguxSZ7ZnSGJaAHi67G839aa0Rrx3MtENSmUHOIs1X-gGK3W5yEEcqF4/s5184/L1010453.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2715" data-original-width="5184" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9viz9C6C6wcopWYnN5K-l3QrTtMIAmN0iMBzDRWwkE_FqNLYHoy_k2MVOeehYr39xV9Qz5b3exjGlJ2IaOFK6Ad9TiVaw8m3LsnIY7alNdTVcMLxEz5a2jh408BiDGwCDp4AHguxSZ7ZnSGJaAHi67G839aa0Rrx3MtENSmUHOIs1X-gGK3W5yEEcqF4/w640-h336/L1010453.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-CUZZdMV3IvqqNpQSkQE4zm2sOYoO68_KegA6m3uJGQ9hE-lNQwhto5scTmK5lhcyRDJMJYvLYptdHKLrXDDmqqqPEU4vhmLVHLC__eBmMqCDh4qndQkX9Q3Vx8v9YjVQhW_mT04cZ3wMqMDaff9zmN2vUvatAhBu6LbMMZowLDe3AKgxmhXtY3zaRtI/s4942/L1010341.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4942" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-CUZZdMV3IvqqNpQSkQE4zm2sOYoO68_KegA6m3uJGQ9hE-lNQwhto5scTmK5lhcyRDJMJYvLYptdHKLrXDDmqqqPEU4vhmLVHLC__eBmMqCDh4qndQkX9Q3Vx8v9YjVQhW_mT04cZ3wMqMDaff9zmN2vUvatAhBu6LbMMZowLDe3AKgxmhXtY3zaRtI/w640-h448/L1010341.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrN1UV2Vzvp3d8eRjuH0zF9L68ACeHACB575UO4Nkt1JFLFKzZDXS5nD_FO4j4wSGOJmHUHyRdmV6DdWT0qGR84mIHsxvwmvR9WB-DTRCkBVbqkwkOT4zVdE4jIRE24tHvdJc0W6ljnCVUVXG5WTQzzuKKQ5FoclqM0lWZrRhCNAAMTqfXg3heWnQ7jTc/s5179/L1010482.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrN1UV2Vzvp3d8eRjuH0zF9L68ACeHACB575UO4Nkt1JFLFKzZDXS5nD_FO4j4wSGOJmHUHyRdmV6DdWT0qGR84mIHsxvwmvR9WB-DTRCkBVbqkwkOT4zVdE4jIRE24tHvdJc0W6ljnCVUVXG5WTQzzuKKQ5FoclqM0lWZrRhCNAAMTqfXg3heWnQ7jTc/w640-h428/L1010482.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaIZr-Nio0vnppC6TVceDFtC5EwLJO_0hNhA-z1_k4UKsHSZ1FerNNc409pLDeJjHvSwTk6qSiwyw3ADwlpqSJFz7AkAHsShAzEVUheuYhht9AkLFcyqtsyESeE7RwjNprX71PMUSq0UfBwa0Ju_ZuhzQLYIjFV1SDiOmlKZYO6el52MwqYHEWziSW63c/s5179/L1010459.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaIZr-Nio0vnppC6TVceDFtC5EwLJO_0hNhA-z1_k4UKsHSZ1FerNNc409pLDeJjHvSwTk6qSiwyw3ADwlpqSJFz7AkAHsShAzEVUheuYhht9AkLFcyqtsyESeE7RwjNprX71PMUSq0UfBwa0Ju_ZuhzQLYIjFV1SDiOmlKZYO6el52MwqYHEWziSW63c/w640-h428/L1010459.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-58391914702426284362023-07-15T09:40:00.004+01:002023-07-16T08:26:05.187+01:00thoughts for July<p>July is racing past, half way through the year and things are happening in the future which is exciting but also very daunting and means I wake up most mornings for that dreaded fears at 4am! I am enjoying quite a few things at the moment and thought I would share them with you.</p><p><b><u>Running into the sea after a run</u></b></p><p>I always get so hot after my runs and I find it easy to race into the sea to cool down. I'm not sure I could do it if I wasn't so hot, its winter here and the water is 18 degrees or so, it's heart stopping, I can feel my heart miss a tiny beat but the feeling after that is so exhilarating and I feel so good afterwards. I am determined to go in the water once a week for the next 6 weeks. </p><p><b><u>Reading, reading, reading </u></b></p><p>I have a continual book list in notes on my phone, I love reading and always have a book on the go. I am currently reading <a href="https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-covenant-of-water-abraham-verghese/book/9781804710432.html?source=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjwh8mlBhB_EiwAsztdBHjbEg1tOMl63Nqpmpbp5B7e8qbCGGVmzcRe6BqKVouyWgQ_MO8j-RoC4OMQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">The covenant of water </a> which is set in India, it's a massive tome but very readable and I feel I am learning as well which I do love. I have just finished <a href="https://www.penguin.com.au/books/enter-ghost-9781787334069" target="_blank">Enter Ghost</a> which was so good, set in Israel and deals with Arabs, Israel, Palestine and Shakespeare, hard sometimes but really worth it and again, I learnt a lot. </p><p><b><u>Watching </u></b></p><p>I am so enjoying hijack on Apple TV, I get annoyed when shows only come once a week but it's worth the wait. I didn't want to watch it as I was worried it would be about a plane crashing etc but it's so much more than that. </p><p><b><u>What I'm learning</u></b></p><p>I did a workshop in Sydney the other day that was so good, we walked around with the photographer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessemarlow/" target="_blank">Jesse Marlow</a> who took a group of us around parts of the city and set us a task of finding our initials in the abstract. We had to really think and discover and it was such a good exercise. He was also a really nice person. I don't know about you but sometimes I find photographers never want to share their knowledge, they keep their lenses and settings a secret, or don't admit that they have to self publish and make everyone believe they have been given a book deal. Jesse was so happy to help and I had been struggling with my settings and he said to just take it back to the basics, don't over think it, and those words were all that I needed to hear. I also went to see a truly fantastic exhibition of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stevemccurryofficial/" target="_blank">Steve McCurry's</a> work this week with a friend and we spent so long just enjoying all the wonderful photographs, listening to the commentary, we were so inspired and he talked about waiting, coming back for the right shot, looking for colour. You need these moments to inspire, inspiration is such a powerful tool. </p><p><b><u>What I'm listening to</u></b></p><p>I'm about to turn sixty and I'm worrying about stupid things, will I be invisible? will I disappear? I hear words of wisdom from older people and ones that resonate include - live life in colour, embrace ageing and be unafraid of change. One I read today was - make it a rule in your 60s not to talk about aches and pains unless they are life threatening. My mother calls talking about illness organ recital, people love talking about what is wrong with their bodies but as long as we keep moving, swimming, walking, all will be well don't you think?</p><p><b><u>What I'm photographing</u></b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywuMJTxTjlBWcI74pBqCfS82syx5cmcXNme7vz9ZUUl9QW4VVeEol8yTqDKauZmANaeSve-KPAcNB70iGsziRXne2b4x5LgEYYifK4ShCdYeaQlzYrA1s39iMksXc9kozUUqouH8-N-Yjw6ALrUuVPLrUKE26q65Rvcl0zhQsB_g_drNzHM0WZqcxefU/s5184/L1010321.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3188" data-original-width="5184" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywuMJTxTjlBWcI74pBqCfS82syx5cmcXNme7vz9ZUUl9QW4VVeEol8yTqDKauZmANaeSve-KPAcNB70iGsziRXne2b4x5LgEYYifK4ShCdYeaQlzYrA1s39iMksXc9kozUUqouH8-N-Yjw6ALrUuVPLrUKE26q65Rvcl0zhQsB_g_drNzHM0WZqcxefU/w640-h394/L1010321.jpg" width="640" /></a></b></div><b><br /></b><p></p><p>the winter colours in the water are amazing at the moment.

It was so green and lush and quiet and I wondered how many creatures were watching us as we walked through the rain forest. It is also full of cane fields and beautiful beaches too.

Quite a few instagram accounts are now dedicated to the "aesthetic appeal of the nonchalant, geriatric dresser" and to that end, I have started following the instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gramparents/" target="_blank">gramparents</a> which is interesting.</p><p>I am enjoying the posts from this instagram account, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bylaurenmcdermott/" target="_blank">Lauren McDermot</a>t all so perfect and clean and effortless and two shiny perfect boys. It's one of those accounts that I love to watch and then wonder where I went wrong! </p><p>It was the first day of winter here in Australia but luckily it's still so mild. I am thinking about the colder days ahead and about boosting my immune system with home made turmeric shots and here is a great quick recipe from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cpw7lxcjmpG/" target="_blank">Luise Vindahl</a> on instagram.</p><p>In winter I do love wearing a striped jumper, I have a thing about stripes and believe you can never have too many. I bought this jumper in <a href="https://www.countryroad.com.au/verified-australian-merino-wool-crew-knit-60285973-8995" target="_blank">country road </a></p><p>I have nearly finished an online course with <a href="https://create.xantheberkeley.com" target="_blank">XantheBerkeley</a> on making videos. Its very good and I now have a few more apps to play around with when I do try and make films, I have made a couple with my DSLR camera and edited in the great app Capcut </p><p>So that's my list, I don't have any shows to recommend as all my favourites have just finished but do let me know if you know of any good shows.</p><p>Here are a few photos I took lately for my 365</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lKoX7PbT1UdPzVGZmeExyHD7AQsqeygFskp-FFTQrDF9mgL8lLX4g18503QcPBEm_TSmT9a77ssDv1lrMK4QZiBtU20cP1uFnd9O_u4u-z1nknWACRkomQexGbsjYs41jXXprvODqLH7fNSuuLJyjRFJ8FFZIrvVSVUdcE6qi20q1C4vFBcguEQo/s4973/L1000913.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4973" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lKoX7PbT1UdPzVGZmeExyHD7AQsqeygFskp-FFTQrDF9mgL8lLX4g18503QcPBEm_TSmT9a77ssDv1lrMK4QZiBtU20cP1uFnd9O_u4u-z1nknWACRkomQexGbsjYs41jXXprvODqLH7fNSuuLJyjRFJ8FFZIrvVSVUdcE6qi20q1C4vFBcguEQo/w640-h444/L1000913.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7izEr7l63H5_H50OnvQ0sNx3WVJK8KS143Qut_AGvFogB7uLyyLtrpo0StxkSKpiZPC5RW412nu1jJjrBB_hpQJ591y2KBDHqOKy6laE9xG9Kh4whv_Shef1dqIaH1e8EUHMFEf9N8RHywnw3is33mc-XHw-gboDPi2AsXNA5hZJxjpfK8C1905x/s4320/L1000904.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4320" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7izEr7l63H5_H50OnvQ0sNx3WVJK8KS143Qut_AGvFogB7uLyyLtrpo0StxkSKpiZPC5RW412nu1jJjrBB_hpQJ591y2KBDHqOKy6laE9xG9Kh4whv_Shef1dqIaH1e8EUHMFEf9N8RHywnw3is33mc-XHw-gboDPi2AsXNA5hZJxjpfK8C1905x/w640-h512/L1000904.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-42655975385920332492023-05-22T22:32:00.003+01:002023-05-22T22:32:26.604+01:00119 days of a 365<p> Are you doing a 365 project? how is it going? are you enjoying it? I am on day 119 and it still makes me happy to know that I have taken a picture a day, a record that sits on Flickr and no one notices but I know that I can look back on ten years worth of 365 projects and be glad I did them. </p><p>Motivation is hard isn't it though? I love the idea of a project but always end up getting stuck. I am currently doing an online course with the photographer<a href="https://www.magnumphotos.com/shop/learn-with-magnum/" target="_blank"> Cristina de Middle on Magnum</a> and she talks you through her projects. She talks about how to get inspiration and uses magazine cut outs and bizarre articles to fuel her imagination for her photography that recreates photographs from fake news etc. She says we need to separate the audience of social media from the audience of our photography and of course with algorithms it's sometimes hard to remember why we like to take pictures. </p><p>Here are some photographs from my week, let me know if you are currently doing any sort of photography project or a 365.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNm5SplVSA3cpqjH3L6i0-e0c4tnAEqpJRhqZq30sSUTpWPN8o-b16LCjbIdNp2ussJW7thRNAcVx_C12MdOnKNBzjKwvRTMz_qEbWGvOtaIiHyPjnRBz9wks4JrO7WkPv6joKyBgDxqQyk6po5WG1beP6V_CzjGVbn8Gxgdu4yeg8wzh6Mz6iF3ZN/s5184/L1000755.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3016" data-original-width="5184" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNm5SplVSA3cpqjH3L6i0-e0c4tnAEqpJRhqZq30sSUTpWPN8o-b16LCjbIdNp2ussJW7thRNAcVx_C12MdOnKNBzjKwvRTMz_qEbWGvOtaIiHyPjnRBz9wks4JrO7WkPv6joKyBgDxqQyk6po5WG1beP6V_CzjGVbn8Gxgdu4yeg8wzh6Mz6iF3ZN/w640-h372/L1000755.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>A very blustery day at Bondi beach<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRd9bv9AnYpgT_x6WlvBMilHk5ktSmTw8fj9kRWsR7Rxvb9ufY_kyhNYzu0bsXBCAW0s15WqRCN6bOf2P-ouhEGuodLOKCUEPnPRYuh90AyU5VwmSNJiGCP1Qfo-jF3nb5G7SaQr3-rEiaNWAbkaz6k6PUF0y7BZEJI5xfYZh7YQf8obSH-rtgXKuL/s4221/L1000774.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4221" height="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRd9bv9AnYpgT_x6WlvBMilHk5ktSmTw8fj9kRWsR7Rxvb9ufY_kyhNYzu0bsXBCAW0s15WqRCN6bOf2P-ouhEGuodLOKCUEPnPRYuh90AyU5VwmSNJiGCP1Qfo-jF3nb5G7SaQr3-rEiaNWAbkaz6k6PUF0y7BZEJI5xfYZh7YQf8obSH-rtgXKuL/w640-h524/L1000774.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Our local lighthouse</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vdlbz2BMb0QkDJ_RVgJCuyGkeS3Ha6jwGeL3uhnbsiTMZcilcM8Ftqj1fBC02cJIkF16bM19vkwy7VfLIhsuUVJ-6a4_hR9-nYTO66-hv48BEA-8ivk4Lzlyt5J-6nL2uf1KyAzD1RN4va_FgahFNcqVtR-EhsUgvTvj0-KuTYs7ZPstGXLZZ7Re/s5184/L1000778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3294" data-original-width="5184" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vdlbz2BMb0QkDJ_RVgJCuyGkeS3Ha6jwGeL3uhnbsiTMZcilcM8Ftqj1fBC02cJIkF16bM19vkwy7VfLIhsuUVJ-6a4_hR9-nYTO66-hv48BEA-8ivk4Lzlyt5J-6nL2uf1KyAzD1RN4va_FgahFNcqVtR-EhsUgvTvj0-KuTYs7ZPstGXLZZ7Re/w640-h406/L1000778.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Afternoon shadows<br /><div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-14790886445714757082023-05-15T08:37:00.007+01:002023-05-15T08:37:59.314+01:00A new week<p> How has your week been?

Didn't Kate look so beautiful? and little Charlotte? Monday has come around with a blast of freezing cold air and huge seas and it feels so wintery and I want to just hibernate with a good book until the temperature rises above twenty degrees again.</p><p>I have just finished <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lock-Up-John-Banville/dp/0571370985" target="_blank">John Banville - the lock up </a>- it's an ok read, I didn't realise he wrote quite a few crime books as well. I am now going to read an old <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Poisonwood-Bible-Barbara-Kingsolver-ebook/dp/B002RI91MG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1H2AA3BRKK4Z6&keywords=barbara+kingsolver+the+poisonwood+bible&qid=1683530599&s=books&sprefix=barbara+kingsolver+the+poisonwood+bib%2Cstripbooks%2C367&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Barbara Kingsolver - the poison wood bible </a>- as I loved her latest, Demon Copperhead, so much.</p><p>We are watching <a href="https://www.apple.com/au/tv-pr/originals/drops-of-god/" target="_blank">Drops of God</a> on Apple TV and it's really good! centres around wine and is in French, Japanese and English. We are also watching succession and Shiv is still wearing very odd outfits, I know she is pregnant in real life but her clothes just don't suit her and I always finish the episodes feeling really flat and hoping I never meet any of the characters in real life. Luckily Ted Lasso is always happy and fun to watch and leaves me with a lovely happy feeling. </p><p>I am enjoying these instagram accounts -</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bylaurenmcdermott/" target="_blank">Lauren Mcdermot</a>t she always seems to have gorgeous videos and everyone looks very clean and neat in her reels.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/susannahtaylor_/" target="_blank">susannahtaylor</a> I signed up for her wellness newsletter and enjoyed all the things she writes about -' skin, soul and sanity for the modern midlifer '</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tattierosestudio/" target="_blank">tattierosestudio</a> who creates amazing things with flowers and one day, just maybe, I will be able to grow wildflowers like she does...</p><p>I am enjoying buying flowers once a week and this week I bought some peonies, I couldn't resist but I do worry they aren't going to open and have been hot housed but I am hoping I'm wrong. I love peonies but have always been put off by the fact that they don't bloom for the first three years or so but of course if I had planted them three years ago I would be enjoying them now! Here are a couple of photos I took of my bunch today. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPkUQKBTT3qDjxKC-5ZQI0g--hQ_9dJn3Mr2A--UlYlw-5W5dTlzDjf8_qBl305a7SYuyvF1XHjE8aNf3crF0L-33NEYb6b_xy6cyNjCLt_CXD4A7vzuduu55cRdz0JXhcTp-dViC3y3Nnee9__ElYDcSRcOYbRo3gCF55H4wvAYvhpwh7AubGiye/s5179/L1000683.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPkUQKBTT3qDjxKC-5ZQI0g--hQ_9dJn3Mr2A--UlYlw-5W5dTlzDjf8_qBl305a7SYuyvF1XHjE8aNf3crF0L-33NEYb6b_xy6cyNjCLt_CXD4A7vzuduu55cRdz0JXhcTp-dViC3y3Nnee9__ElYDcSRcOYbRo3gCF55H4wvAYvhpwh7AubGiye/w640-h428/L1000683.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64vrRnfpYsO0AIbcIXx_q6LIhXYO7GEpg7ieU4otIhePRQ75fNLGFCj4pwUCnZ80P5bah5qm-54-pdEUtSUf-GVNtuRQFRCtRmUiXXtf35AHEcchWfWqsTWyFVZB61-YqZlBimus9_QWsM4aC30Wo17aryBSq25DX0DX4z9vaU2TcJnzygT8mSAj0/s4500/peonie.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="4500" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64vrRnfpYsO0AIbcIXx_q6LIhXYO7GEpg7ieU4otIhePRQ75fNLGFCj4pwUCnZ80P5bah5qm-54-pdEUtSUf-GVNtuRQFRCtRmUiXXtf35AHEcchWfWqsTWyFVZB61-YqZlBimus9_QWsM4aC30Wo17aryBSq25DX0DX4z9vaU2TcJnzygT8mSAj0/w640-h256/peonie.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-26686416587662867102023-04-30T23:33:00.001+01:002023-04-30T23:33:19.735+01:00The month of May<p>Hello May!

We had a nice weekend with a family dinner and I spent a lot of time on the sofa reading this book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pineapple-Street-Jenny-Jackson-ebook/dp/B0B6H8W6J4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=KNQHPTOUBDY6&keywords=pineapple+street+jenny+jackson&qid=1681683273&sprefix=pineappl%2Caps%2C497&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Jenny Jackson Pineapple Street</a> It is on the New York Times bestseller list and is about a very rich New York family and their lives. It's a very good easy read and I highly recommend it.</p><p>Have you watched <a href="https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80074249" target="_blank">The Last kingdom on Netflix</a>? we are obsessed and the good thing is, it's pretty true to fact, all about how the Vikings invaded Wessex so you do learn along the way but there is an awful lot of violence, the Danes were violent and did love to carry around slain heads as trophies. It's a very shiny Netflix show that hooks you in after about episode 3.</p><p>I didn't last very long with deleting instagram. I like the old instagram and am still keen to keep doing what I enjoy doing so I have gone back to it and try to ignore the millions of adds and the endless rounds of self promotion and just post what I enjoy posting. I love the early mornings where I live so I enjoy putting those on my stories. Here are a few instagram accounts I have been enjoying lately.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/skyemcalpine/" target="_blank">Skye McAlpine</a> lots of lovely table scapes and food and views of Venice.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/willowcrossleycreates/" target="_blank">Willow Crossley </a> I actually did her flower arranging course on<a href="https://www.createacademy.com" target="_blank"> create academy</a> during lockdown and I learnt sooo much, it was brilliant. She does lovely videos and seems so sweet and gentle, like a little flower herself.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarah.corbettwinder/" target="_blank">Sarah corbettwinder</a> I have a thing about stripes in the house and so does this woman, her house is so well decorated. She also shows you how to wear trends and I like to see them even though I don't have the need to dress like it, it's still fun to watch.</p><p>Thats about it for this week, here are a few pictures I took for my 365, have a good week.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_kIcjeAQguujB9hyfvtOCu7fm2rGOj71ageYGmrPSjBNKZp01-0sfUZYKpDDdXxeUMmyJEdrkUVmyOxa9Zu2bUQ6enUJbm2IeswdU-kzC4_hPuV96F4KpUD_IRnoUHzL-7rzZWzXplw4s6bimmCFmtI4vKHeb-d45Dy3_iLxKlhzLGQTZdyG0Rs4/s5179/L1000742.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_kIcjeAQguujB9hyfvtOCu7fm2rGOj71ageYGmrPSjBNKZp01-0sfUZYKpDDdXxeUMmyJEdrkUVmyOxa9Zu2bUQ6enUJbm2IeswdU-kzC4_hPuV96F4KpUD_IRnoUHzL-7rzZWzXplw4s6bimmCFmtI4vKHeb-d45Dy3_iLxKlhzLGQTZdyG0Rs4/w640-h428/L1000742.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxqkUr0eB0bjV_AI5a4UqKooQeWFhSmzPRXfPbAsZ-iHKZ449GDg3QXcZdwyLQdKHAyudw-MBBbc_AvvSwHBD9DAry39aZ2n7dSIZh0gSJptR7I4efQvNcQeV8yPbGgnKfJzeqT70qgTGkALHEVtOSWNLWlvHSzDxiR1FWtYB6TmDF8ABdK-SlirDI/s5179/L1000745.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5179" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxqkUr0eB0bjV_AI5a4UqKooQeWFhSmzPRXfPbAsZ-iHKZ449GDg3QXcZdwyLQdKHAyudw-MBBbc_AvvSwHBD9DAry39aZ2n7dSIZh0gSJptR7I4efQvNcQeV8yPbGgnKfJzeqT70qgTGkALHEVtOSWNLWlvHSzDxiR1FWtYB6TmDF8ABdK-SlirDI/w640-h428/L1000745.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhce9DgOjLr1V0rzPLxYVfY6QMGuW8jp2MKBFAtaJTOrldnu2F5_GjCcUcubFsydKPcPHyoOtw77omibaBb4xVpxT7XYi1H4ffnKf6tblHkYIpR0RzSMKXXDQuBwP9de3u2lUeYKoLobk7Oq1LbaahFhAsdZNcD-lZXVcrtBuw1VoEy5OtQl0wsljLL/s5184/L1000753.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3237" data-original-width="5184" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhce9DgOjLr1V0rzPLxYVfY6QMGuW8jp2MKBFAtaJTOrldnu2F5_GjCcUcubFsydKPcPHyoOtw77omibaBb4xVpxT7XYi1H4ffnKf6tblHkYIpR0RzSMKXXDQuBwP9de3u2lUeYKoLobk7Oq1LbaahFhAsdZNcD-lZXVcrtBuw1VoEy5OtQl0wsljLL/w640-h400/L1000753.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2wPRKOLl6hwLKUkR3Hq_hrAooqT_DT5i79hqausG7zpOylsUP5LpMpJDDE1b9Isgdcd9Rg95osa2nxrg8l3ZiIe_iP-SVmabEsRqkWLtL9mcyDOe1_aWKuMMHYyq4ZwJHOAmR7aDDnV5642lPcJyMgPsSEcNGUM1t_7ulKXbs1pd3crJmp2fDNvB/s5184/L1000760.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3252" data-original-width="5184" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2wPRKOLl6hwLKUkR3Hq_hrAooqT_DT5i79hqausG7zpOylsUP5LpMpJDDE1b9Isgdcd9Rg95osa2nxrg8l3ZiIe_iP-SVmabEsRqkWLtL9mcyDOe1_aWKuMMHYyq4ZwJHOAmR7aDDnV5642lPcJyMgPsSEcNGUM1t_7ulKXbs1pd3crJmp2fDNvB/w640-h402/L1000760.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0
