Welcome to my blog!

I'm a thirty something (OK I'm 40 in October) mum of three children, aged 16, 7 and 2.

I work part-time for a Business Start Up initiative & I have a part-time photography business - Freckles Photography, which keeps me busy, and my passion alive.

As an avid reader of other people's blogs I thought I had better get cracking with mine so I can record some memories of our family life, which is flying by at an astonishingly fast pace. I also like to blog about my other hobbies of reading, knitting & other crafts.

I'm PR friendly, so if you think you have something I would be interested in reviewing, please drop me a line.

The Gallery: One Candle

Posted in Family, Food, Photographs, The Gallery

Phew, a week is a long time without a PC! Mine went off for some TLC last Tuesday and came back yesterday. I missed last weeks Gallery entry of the Seven Deadly Sins, but think that this weeks ‘Portrait’ can double up as greed.

Little H is one next Tuesday, so today we did some cake stuffing and various other ‘one’ shots (I’ll save them for the big day). Below is just a taster of what went on, the sequence is rather comical and I’m sure they will be treasured in years to come.

What beautiful photos! I especially love the 3rd one, that lovely sideways look, while stuffing in cake that just screams’it’s mine, all mine’. Wonderful.
