Ashton

At this time of the year, its often not pleasant to be outside.  However with the mild weather this winter, I thought it was finally time to get out and about. I recently acquired a new compact camera as a Christmas gift, so I could have something small and light to pop in my handbag or pocket, instead of carrying my SLR around all the time. 

We took the dogs over to a little village called Ashton, intending to go on a designated walk along the river.  Unfortunately that was not to be, as along with many other places in the country, the river had burst its banks and flooded the pathway.  So we went for a walk along the village road instead, where I took a few shots with my new camera. 

Harry Again

He's just so adorable, and growing into a handsome little boy, and I just cant resist posting another set of photos.

Harry

My grandson Harry tried his hand a blowing up a balloon today...He wasn't very successful, but he did make me laugh

 

Rain, rain go away

Well, spring has commenced....or so they say...

I planned to get out and shoot some lovely spring shots today, but alas, when I woke up the rain was pouring down.  Thankfully it soon subsided, but I got some rainy spring shots before the sun came out.

My gorgeous little Grandson Harry.  I've not seen him in a while, which is a shame...I don't want him to forget who his nanny is.

Colchester Zoo

What a lovely day I had at Colchester Zoo yesterday.  It was a very cold day, but I wrapped up ward, and had a full day watching and photographing the animals.

Engagement

My beautiful daughter Sophie has gone and got herself engaged to a lovely young man called Edward.  Here are a few shots of the engagement ring she is so proud to be wearing.
