The prompt this week is Back To School! Now with MissB only being 9 months old I’ve not got any kiddies going back to school just yet but I do have a husband. My husband is a teacher (well ok he is a lot more than that but you don’t need to know ALL the details ) and yesterday saw his return to work after 6 weeks off. It’s been a busy 6 weeks with us visiting my sister Sonia whilst she had her new baby, visiting friends in Oldham, having 3 weeks of hell with teething where MissB sprouted all 4 top teeth at once with much pain, fever, sickness etc and to top it off I’ve been feeling rough myself so having my husband around to help out has been an absolute god send. It’s kind of sad now not having him around especially as MissB has chosen this week to pull herself up to standing in the playpen and I’ve been busy texting progress photos to hubby at work.

So in honour of hubby going back to school, my photo this week is this:

It is of course MissB and Daddy enjoying looking at the various water sculptures at Alnwick Garden on one of the days that we did manage to get out and enjoy the school holidays

The prompt this week is Memories, this is a tough one for me as how on earth do I choose a photo which can sum up a lot of memories. I posted a while back for a writing workshop entry on childhood memories HERE so I thought I’d steer clear of that era this week and go back to another time in my life. A time only about 4 years ago when I was in a new relationship, yet to be engaged, married or a mum. Just one half of a new and exciting relationship. We lived down in Yorkshire back then, me in Hull and my now husband in York. I remember one lovely sunny day we went on a day out to Castle Howard just for a change of scenery. It was a lovely sunny day and love was in the air. We had a picnic with us and sat on the grass by the lakes eating strawberries and sandwiches without a care in the world. It was a lovely day and I’ve found this photo which I think pretty much shows me as a young, happy and carefree woman enjoying loves first blossoms

The prompt this week is Nature and having thought long and hard about it, I’m going to cheat a little this week as the photographs were taken of MissB and myself by my sister Sonia – you can see more of the photos HERE but I’ve had visitors this week and I’ve not had much time to put this post together. I hope you enjoy them anyway

Nature

A seed is planted in the earth and slowly starts to grow, slowly at first and then gathering pace. You can’t see it but you know it’s there. Growing on a daily basis, in the dark, safe and protected. A miracle of nature…

After a long time developing from that little seed, the seedling eventually bursts out into the light, to soak up the love and light which will help it to continue to grow…

With lots of loving care, feeding and careful monitoring, the seedling grows from strength to strength. Basking in the light, at last they open their petals to the sun, and their true flowering beauty is revealed.

The 1st photo was taken when I was 36 weeks pregnant, the 2nd when MissB was 10 days old and the 3rd when MissB was almost 6 months old Check out my sisters photography website HERE

The prompt this week is Can You See What It Is Yet? and basically involves taking a photo of an everyday object from a different angle. So here is my photo for you all to puzzle over – no clues as I think it should be easy enough to work this one out

OK so one small clue – the item is located in my kitchen

Answer will be revealed when I feel you’ve all given up guessing lol
