When I did some clearing out this week, I found some old photos. It got me thinking how I don’t place as much importance on photos anymore – you can take them far more easily now, I can use my phone or digital camera or even my laptop but I don’t bother as much. I [...]

Birthday day trip
Tuesday was my 29th birthday. I’m dangerously close to 30, sounds far too grown up! My mum and I took a day trip to Hampton Court Palace. It was a gorgeous sunny day and all the daffodils were in bloom so it felt very spring like. The wilderness gardens: Posing with the flowers: The formal [...]

Fake photos
As you know I do like the Kardashians and I looked at their photo shoot for their new clothing line with interest, especially as the photos were taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. However, I was startled to see this pose of all three sisters all looking the exact same height. This photo has totally [...]

Long weekend
I had a three day weekend thanks to the May bank holiday and it was a busy one. On Saturday I went with my family to Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands. The showroom has a mix of classic and new cars and there’s a track and skid pad outside for driving experiences. Despite it being so close to where I live I [...]

Our Mediterranean Garden
Yesterday we stocked up on some summer plants to add to the garden. We have brought some iron bits and painted them white, added a mirror to make it look bigger and brought some new pots for the palms. We’ve also got a bench to add once it’s spray-painted white (currently cream). Take a look [...]

A Parisian Affair
Paris is a beautiful city full of historic cream stone buildings, ornate bridges and wide pavements built for strolling past the river on. Like any city, there are contradictions, beauty paired with busy roads where drivers seem to take their lives in their hands, chic women in designer clothes walking past the homeless and delicious croissants being sold next to MacDonalds. A weekend [...]

Seasons
There is a tree outside my window that I’ve captured through the seasons and I wanted to share. It shows how beautiful nature is. I love living somewhere with seasons. Autumn. Winter. Spring. Vix x
