Goodbye 2014 Blog Circle…

As we approach the end of another year I can’t help but think that time seems to pass more quickly the older I get. This time of year, for me, is all about reflection.  It has been a busy year and to some extent a year of change.  However the constants have been family and…

    Lou, what a fantastic bunch of kids you have there. I really loved that we did this project together. One of your posts was about listening to your own voice and don’t compare yourself with others photographers. In my eyes you have a fantastic view on life and your surroundings.

    Love,

Happiness through my eyes

Its time for our monthly blog circle 🙂 We are blessed to live 20 mins from the coast.  It isn’t the most salubrious of areas, it doesn’t have bars or restaurants that people travel to ‘hang’ out it in.  It doesn’t have golden sands, in fact the beach is quite pebbly and muddy, and the…

    Louise, fantastic post as always. It’s not the grey skies that stand out, just the beautiful colourful children. What a gorgeous place. I love beaches that are not so popular so you get the place to yourself. Must admit that it looks odd to me to wear wellies to the beach but then I remember that it’s not Summer any more.ReplyCancel

    I love these photos Louise and the words you used to describe them are so beautiful. The colourful clothes and the bright smiles more than compensate for the grey English skies, looks everyone had a great time.ReplyCancel

Farewell to summer (Blog Circle)

Our monthly blog circle is here again and some of my blog circle friends have decided to dedicate this post as a farewell to summer.   As it is the 1st September this seems quite relevant.  Meteorologically speaking summer has ended in the UK and we are officially now in Autumn.  I have mixed feelings as…

    Louise, your writing always hits me square in the heart. You are a mother who loves fiercely and it’s beautiful. I wish you all the best during this grand transition knowing your son will do famously in secondary school. Happy autumn!!! 😀ReplyCancel

    Oh my goodness! How does time fly like this? I wish him all the best in secondary school 🙂ReplyCancel

    I agree with Kirsten – your writing is so lovely. As a mom of little ones, this post reminds me to hold them tight today and prepare my heart for the conflicted feelings of “tomorrow”… as much as I don’t want them to grow up, I am watching it happen way too fast!ReplyCancel

    You made me cry! Such a beautifully written post you have such a way with words as well as photographs. I have every faith and confidence with you that you will steer your son through the challenges with much grace and skill, he is one lucky boy to have you as his Mum xx Looking forward to catching up in Lisbon later this month.ReplyCancel

    O wow Louise. You have such way with words and I can feel your pain/joy at these bittersweet times ahead. I would like to wish your not so little man all the very best in secondary school. That last photo is so very fitting to your words and I now have to move onto another blog before I start crying. Time flies, so let’s enjoy the moments when they still show they are children and not so grown up.ReplyCancel

    It’s so beautiful to read through your words that you are so incredibly proud about him. Time, indeed, flies. But as far as I know you he will grow up as a nice young man.
    I agree with what the other girls said. You are so good in writing. I am looking forward to your next post. XReplyCancel
