Easter holidays

I’ve now been off uni for two weeks, but without a break at all! Next week I’m going for a trip to St Anton with my dad, sister and her friend and, although I have a case full of books and revision, I’m hoping that a change of scenery will help relax me a little before my exams at the end of April!

Here are a few highlights from these past few weeks.

PS If you email while I’m away then hang on, I’ll reply as soon as I get back on the 7th April 🙂

Diana..

I do love my trusty Diana camera.. and since uploading a handful of my 35mm film camera photos I thought I’d start sharing some pics from my favourite little lomo camera..

Here is quite an overdone shot but I love it, there is something so dreamy about looking from the trees to the sky and the layers making you feel so small..

I’m not sure where most of my lomo photographs are (somewhere in the mess-of-a-study no doubt) but I have been carrying 4 undeveloped films in my handbag for about 4 months since my favourite independent camera shop in Middlesbrough closed. One film even contains photographs I took during our wedding day (yes, I was that obsessed that I carried a camera around), so I promise I’ll share as soon as they’re developed.

Anyway.. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Saltburn and a 50m scarf..

After I went to see Amelia & Ben in Albert Park on Sunday, I shunned uni work and drove off towards the coast, this time Saltburn.

It’s such a quaint Victorian seaside town, and usually relatively quiet.. Strangely enough the Saltburn ‘Yarn Bomber’ has hit! An anonymous knitter keeps leaving knitted artefacts around the town, this time a 50m scarf with an Olympic theme, complete with characters swimming, shooting, doing gymnastics and playing football!

It was gloriously sunny and Viv and I had a bit of time on the beach with Olivia (sister) and Vivienne’s Grandma Carole..

A Saturday morning in Redcar..

We were up early on Saturday to take Vivienne to her nursery friend’s birthday party in Redcar, then took a quick walk along the seafront before David went to work. Redcar is an old industrial seaside town near us, complete with arcades, fish & chips and lemon top ice creams. There’s something about the beach which makes you feel so small, and even though we were blown around by strong winds it was lovely to get out and face the elements..
