Hydrangeas

Yesterday we made the most of the late summer sun and warmth, as the forecast for the rest of this week is rain and white cloud.  We met up with a friend and her two little ones and took a picnic to Wakehurst Place.  For those of you that have visited Kew Gardens, Wakehurst is equally stunning on a smaller scale.  I snapped the little ones and other random shots, but my main interest turned to the array of Hydrangeas.

Holiday Snaps

Fell in love with Oxburgh Hall, Deer at Knoll and Sunny days at the beach.  We walked, talked, drew, ate, visited, bought ice creams, cherished our time and photographed a simple week in Norfolk.

Unrest

In the light of the disturbance and mindless acts of destruction here in the UK, I have been feeling such an unrest and disappointment with our society.  My dreams have been vivid and laying awake worrying about the elderly folk and families in the area, who must feel so terrified.  I can only hope that the parents of those on our streets are asking their children to stay home and stop.

Preparing

I have been excitedly and nervously reading the handmade marketplace by Kari Chapin.  We pick up the  posters today and the last four months is starting to feel like a reality and there is so much to think about. So I distracted myself by snapping these lovely poppyseed and sesame wafers and playing with the arrangement for my letterpress storage.  Also this photo of the girls at Knoll makes me smile.  What are you nervous about?

We're Back

We are slowly unpacking and the washing pile is going down and the memories were magic.  We had a lovely week in Norfolk and I snapped over 800 photos!  Watch this space.  Also this week we collect our children's posters ready to sell via Esty.
