Exploring Autumn Leaves With Light

28 Aug

We spent some time really appreciating the colours of the trees in the garden as next year we won’t be here to see them. We planted this tree when we moved into the house 20 years ago and it was only around 6 inches tall. We used a torch and magnifying glass to look at the leaves.

🥰 🤵🏻‍♂️👰‍♀️💒 A little b 🥰 🤵🏻‍♂️👰‍♀️💒 A little bit of nice news to share with you...

Feeling a bit me’h today so I’ve cheered myself up by booking a spring date for our wedding...it’s only taken 8 children, around 30 years and a church to get around to doing it 😁

And as it’s going to be a lockdown affair we’ve chosen the spring given the abundance of flowers in the churchyard that we’ll get to enjoy our day surrounded by 🌸🌼🌸🥰
Restoration realities... 🧡 Windowsil grubs, the Restoration realities...
🧡 Windowsil grubs, they just seem to be forever filthy and gather muck more indoors than out. 
Everyday I remind myself that the dirt will wash away but the memories will remain forever 😬
🪚 🪛 🪵 🧁 🧑‍🍳 We made our own ru 🪚 🪛 🪵 🧁 🧑‍🍳 We made our own rustic cake stand! The 8 year old made a plan before using tools to cut some wood slices, drill some holes and screw together his design.
He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁

It was really easy to do and highly effective, he was very proud of himself 🥰👏
