No brain power for much chat today, with a one-week-old newborn, but I did manage to pop out into the garden yesterday morning to gather some flowers for my May moodboard… (For once) I’ll just let the photos do the talking…. This marks a full year since I started taking these photos. Interesting … Continue reading Garden moodboard: May
Daily life
Last Sunday evening
...was mostly about bringing this little bundle into the world: Yes, sproglet two has arrived! He's adorable, we're all shattered and in a little haze. Sproglet one is very proud of his "yittel bruder"... Things may be a bit quiet over on the blog for a while, but I'll be back soon. Sabrina xx
Outside
It's been a gloriously sunny few days here in London, but I've been rather too gone in pig to venture far out of the front door. Instead, afternoons have been spent lazing in the garden.* There's a little spot where I like to sit on a tiny brick wall underneath my lovely acer tree. I … Continue reading Outside
Garden moodboard: April
After nearly a year of photographing these monthly garden moodboards, I've come to realise that getting the main shot is a little like taking a group family photo. You line everyone up neatly, check they're standing in a good position, look through the lens, go back to the group, move someone a little, ask someone … Continue reading Garden moodboard: April
Spring cheer
Just popping in quickly this morning as I realise I have been a little bit moany and gloomy in my last few posts and definitely lacking in spring cheer. So just to say, I have finally been catching up on a bit of sleep (hurrah) as my mother-in-law has been staying for a few days … Continue reading Spring cheer
Feeling guilty
I’m feeling a little guilty this morning… You see, today was my deadline to make something rather glorious from this heavenly peacock fabric. And what have I done with it? Erm, absolutely nothing. A month or so ago, I entered the Hillarys Blinds country craft competition: you selected your favourite fabric from four options which … Continue reading Feeling guilty
On being permanently stressed out
Apart from a glorious weekend last weekend (see my garden moodboard or mating frog pics for more on that!) I’ve been seriously strung out since we moved back home… Of course, it’s not surprising. The house is a tip, we’ve had workmen of one kind or other in here almost every day since we’ve been … Continue reading On being permanently stressed out
Amorous frogs…
...it must be Spring! It seems to be frog mating season in our pond; every time I wander down to the end of the garden I can hear a low melodic ribbiting and look over to the pond to see at least four sets of frogs, clinging to each other in an endless embrace in … Continue reading Amorous frogs…
Garden moodboard: March
Isn’t Spring bloody great? I’m practically elated to be back to my garden in time for this fabulous early March weather. As I collected the flowers for these pictures, the sproglet was careening up and down the garden (as full as Spring fever as I am), the air was scented with blossom from next door’s … Continue reading Garden moodboard: March
Home
I wrote this and took the photos a week or so ago, but couldn't find my camera lead to download anything... Pleased to report that *some* progress has since taken place! I’ve been a little quiet this week, because last Saturday we moved home. After three months away, we’re finally back in our pad.* It … Continue reading Home
