Yesterday

 We have had a lovely weekend, lots of excitement with the royal wedding. Kate looked stunning, Will was so handsome and Harry...mmm. We had a great party with family and friends after and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
Yesterday was a little more sedate, Paul and Ollie had fun in the garden setting hanging baskets and pots for the garden. They did a mighty fine job and I'm looking forward to watching everything grow. Paul has been working very hard this holiday in the garden and its looking lovely.

 Meanwhile I made some of these beauties! Pink macarons! They are filled with white chocolate ganache and absolutely divine... I'm in love!

And finally at the end of the day I suddenly noticed this wonderful sunset! A perfect end to a perfect day :) xxx
P.S Note to Anita... the quote from the blow LO was from the cosmo cricket earth love paper pack I have just chopped it up to fit on the page and I used SU markers on the Su spritzer to add the "splatter" and the pearls are green sparkly ones from paper mania. Hope this helps xx

I love tulips

 Love the light on this one

These were all taken in my Dad's garden at the weekend, so beautiful.
I like lots of flowers (gerberas are my favourite favourites!) but tulips are a definate close second.
I'm going to make sure we get some spring bulbs into our garden for next year. Dad's garden is just blooming and its gorgeous :)

Caught this beautiful sunset on Sunday evening with my camera, in none other than full manual mode!!
I'm quite impressed .... :)
I have borrowed a rather posh lens from the father in law its a tamron 18-270mm its cool. Need to do a bit of saving up now to get my own.

And here's a wider view. We look out over this field from our bedroom window, eventually its going to be a football pitch, great for my boys :)
Thanks for looking.

Been practising with my new camera and lens, so I asked Paul to take us to Wales for the day yesterday. (Ha not just for this here delish hot choc) But to visit all the places we love to go. We started off at Swallow Falls where I got these shots practising my shutter speeds.

This is taken with a fast shutter speed and you see all the movement of the water.

And this one is a slow shutter speed where it slows the water movement. The lighting is better on this one too (need to practise my iso next me thinks!)

 Here's one of the family (Holly had a bag on and didn't want her picture took lol!)

 And one of Ollie getting his feet wet just for mum to take pics lol!
Thanks for dropping by have a lovely weekend!
