Light.

It's day 3 of my challenge to Blog everyday this month, I know I said you would get 2 posts yesterday, instead I lost track of time and I started planning the rest of the posts for this month, but for now, I will carry on with the challenge. 

Today's topic is Light. Today is also the Hindu Celebration of Diwali. 

Even though I am not Hindu, I love admiring light and the beauty it creates, my family and friends could tell you at the drop of the hat, that my favourite time of day is 'Golden Hour' the time just before and during sunset where the sun shines down with the Golden light, making everything beautiful. 

I thought I would share some of my favourite photos taken during this time of day. So here they are;

 A Beautiful 'Golden Hour' on a Dorset Beach

 I absolutely love this picture, I was walking through Pembroke College one evening, turned to the side and saw how beautiful the light was on the trees.

My last photo is of King's College Chapel, Cambridge and Senate House. The sunshine was so golden on the side of the chapel.

What light inspires you?

Brighton.

Hello Lovelies,

On Sunday my family and I took a little trip to the wonderful town of Brighton, there was only one reason for this trip. My younger sister, Beth, took part in the London to Brighton cycle ride. This is 54 miles on the road with various landscapes to admire. Beth completed this cycle in 4 hours and 38 minutes, which is not bad for a 16 year old. Tearfund is the charity she was completing it for, a wonderful charity that works in third world countries, they are such a deserving cause and any donation to them is amazing.

After meeting Beth, we took a little trip down the pier, I visited it last year and I love it, even if I didn't have any spare change for the 2p arcade machines! Unfortanately the weather was not on our side when we were in Brighton so we decided not to go shopping but, I am already planning another trip to venture into the little lanes filled with rows of querky boutiques. 

 

 

Oh and Tilly loved making new doggy friends on the beach.

 

Bye Lovelies

A Camping Trip To Dorset

Hello lovelies, 

If you follow my Instagram you may have seen my last photo of a very excited Tilly on the way to Dorset, and her first holiday. The holiday was a mini camping break for 3 nights in the Dorset countryside. I went with my family and stayed at the lovely Lake Farm Campsite, this is about 20 minutes outside of Poole and is a lovely, quiet campsite.

During the trip we spent most days relaxing on the beach and taking some well-needed time away from the world. Since we were camping, I decided I would not take my phone charger, so switched my phone off for most of the time, I feel that it is so so easy to get caught up in worrying about problems in the world and feeling the need to share every moment immediately with the world that we can forget to enjoy the moments we want to share, so this time off the my phone, and the fact my camera ran out of battery forced me to be still, and enjoy the holiday.

Sorry that there weren't many photos, but technology failed me when I wanted it. 

Bye Lovelies
