Cacti

I saw these miniature cacti and remembered how much my sister likes them so decided to get them for her. Within a few days I could see how they’d grown and sprouted pretty flowers

I love the pop of colour of the flowers and the almost geometrical pattern of the sharp thorns/leaves. I find these plants really interesting, each slightly different but part of the same family.

Fun at the fair

With Spring in full swing here in the UK, my sister and I have already been making the most of the warmer weather. We decided to take her kids to visit the fair as it was in town during half term holidays. The weather was sunny and warm, the kids excited and energetic.

Carousel

I wasn’t able to take many pictures as I was having too much fun, but it was great to spend the day with the kids and take in the colours and thrill of the rides and the enticing aromas of nearby snacks

Dodgems

We didn’t get to win any teddies such as these but we did go home with balloons and ice cream, and the kids happy but exhausted.

Teddy bears

I’m looking forward to going to other funfairs over the coming months, with I hope, more thrills and treats to be had

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015

Well, we’ve reached the end of 2014, and it’s been an interesting one for me, in terms of family related events and photo opportunities, both of which I hope have allowed me to grow in my skills and as a person. I would like to share below my favourite photos from this year, and to also wish you all a happy New Year wherever you are and whatever you decide to do to welcome in 2015. I hope its a happy, healthy adventurous 2015 for all of us
