We cannot wait for the big spring clean! Honestly, the first day it's bright and warm enough we open up all the windows and hatches, change the air. There's nothing better than a good clear out, always a good reset point
All of the above. I'm retired from paid work, but I too used to keep my office shoes in the car and changed out of my wellies to go to work.
Here, the primroses were first, along with hazel catkins looking like late christmas tree decorations. Definitely stilporridge and soup weather. We are blessed with weekly vegetable boxes from a local farm, and fruit boxes containing an eclectic range of juicy goodness from home and abroad.
I do love a primrose, they really are a sign that winter is waning. Lots of hazel catkins around too, which has reminded me that I need to go on a bit of a foray into the woods. I could do with a few hazel sticks for bean poles later in the year.
Taking photos on film is so much fun. My son has recently got me back into using film. It has such a warmth I’ve been craving in my photos. I also like the fact you have 24 or 36 photos and you have no idea how they are going to turn out until you develop them. This year we started developing our own photos, first black and white and now colour. I will never tire of the moment you open the tank and see your film has developed, it’s just magical.
Oh wow, that is amazing! I'd love to learn more about developing photos at home, is it complicated? We bought a vintage Polaroid years ago and I find that magical. The photos from it are always terrible, it kind of adds to the charm. I've just bought myself a Canon AE-1 as it looks the most beginner friendly, looking forward to the film arriving this week!
Loving the winter Olympics too, thinking most of them are completely mad, whilst sitting in front of the fire! Looking forward to snowboard cross competition, completely bonkers but so much fun. Noticing snowdrops pushing through the ground here.
Sorting cupboards and doing a ‘life laundry’ - clearing space. Cleaning the spaces left behind!
