Feeling Grateful & Moving Forwards

This post will be a little different to my usual ones but this is something I really wanted to share in the hopes it reaches someone else who needs it right now. {DISCLAIMER: This post does discuss some of the symptoms and issues surrounding depression and anxiety, so if you are currently struggling and find …

In the Sun by the Lake.

I will never get tired of talking about my favourite spots within the Lake District and one of them is Buttermere and the surrounding valley that stretches all the way up to Newlands Pass and onwards to the rocky stretch of road that winds through Honister. We had a lovely family visitor with us a …

A Springtime Sunset

Spring is officially here, and with it comes those beautiful sunsets that seem to turn the sky into a painting. Last week saw one of these such sunsets, and I loved seeing the myriad of colours behind the trees (still leafless, but pretty) as the sun dipped below the horizon. It helped that the breeze …

A Warren of Paper Rabbits!

With Easter literally just around the corner I thought it was only fitting that I make some adorable origami rabbits in celebration of this time of year! I followed this brilliant tutorial from Mica's Paper Craft Channels here. I love the way these turned out and they were the perfect way to start this week …

Sunshine Mountains

For this week's Wordless Wednesday I just wanted to share a few of the pretty sites that have appeared up here in Cumbria this week as the weather gets warmer and spring slowly wakes up the wintry landscape. I know I rave on here about how gorgeous I find Cumbria, but it really does just …

Project 365: The Favourite Five (January & February)

If you've been with me for a while you may remember that on my old blog, Through Tasha's Camera, I would share five of my favourite photos each month while I was doing Project 365, but last year I didn't take part. When 2018 came around I knew I wanted to get involved again as …

2017; in photos.

Before I begin this post I have to apologise because this is so overdue, but I wanted to get it up because I like doing these 'Year in Review' style posts with photography thrown in. So please forgive me for getting this up so late, but better late than never, right? I wanted to do …

An Icy View

The weather up here in the Lake District has slowly been warming, and while it is still ever so slightly chilly, and the surrounding vegetation still looks decidedly wintry - signs of spring are popping up all over. However, rewind a couple of weeks ago and you would have thought we'd have just been plunged …

The Little Paper Dragonfly

First of all I have to apologies for the radio silence over here again this past fortnight. We had a bit of a family emergency but things seem to be settling now, so hopefully the rest of March will go a bit more smoothly! It feels like it has been an age since I've sat …

Delicate In White & Green

For many the arrival of spring can be heralded by the delicate swathes of snowdrops that begin to gently carpet the surrounding verges of roads and borders of gardens, and this is no different for myself. As soon as I notice the first few dainty snowdrops I know that spring isn't too far away, and …
