Just love it!

I was at a wedding at a most fabulous location last week. The Traddock at Austwick is a little gem of unusual furniture and quirky corners.
I spotted this antique clock that really caught my eye. Had it fit in my handbag it would have been coming home with me.
I don't know why, I just love it!

Pip and Glenn - Engaged!

Congratulations to Pip and Glenn who are gearing up for their fabulous wedding. They have picked a stupendous venue, the lush Wentworth Castle Gardens which has appeared on TV programmes like Restoration for its historic heritage.
For their engagement shoot we had a little time to explore, to find out how the land would lie on the day. It was FREEZING but they smiled through it all.
I just love how Glenn is looking at Pip in the above photo, it's just such an adoring expression. Bless!

One of the first things Pip said to me was "I'm not at all photogenic." It's always the most beautiful women who say that to me. She totally rocked it and looks great. Can't wait to see her as a bride.

We went a bit artsy for the last shot, playing with the shadows created by the harsh sunlight.

Good luck to you guys and I am really looking forward to the big day!

Weekends away and favourite tees!

Today is a day for firsts. I think this is the first time I have posted an image on my blog that was not taken by me!
But I am in that kind of relaxed, happy state that follows a really great weekend away with friends. We ate. We chilled. We ate. We jacuzzied...we ate...
So on to more firsts, today is the first day in three weeks I have eaten chocolate; the first time in a year I have had a photo taken with my husband James; the first time I let James take a picture of me in a hotel room (where are my hands?!; the first time in weeks we have seen each other at a weekend (busy busy wedding season!)
And, most importantly, the first time I got to wear my brand new camera tee-shirt. It speaks of all things Dolly! Isn't it fab?!

Happy Easter, blogreaders!

So, this Easter I decided to bypass chocolate. I usually buy a million and one eggs for everyone I know but for 2009 I decided to do something a little more personal.
I corralled my Auntie Sue, a fabulous cake maker, to show me how to make some Easter cookies. I have to say, these are my icing handiworks not hers, hers are much much better.
It took me while the small hours last night but I quickly snapped these photos before my eyes closed for sleep!
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you like my Easter biscuits. And for those interested in how a true professional creates wedding cakes, cookies and favours, check out Sue's blog here.
