A New Year but. . . . .still edits from 2 0 1 4 !

 

Firstly, a belated Happy New Year!

~   ~   ~   ~

Although I am optimistic and welcome 2015,

I find myself still looking back at photos,

 and editing from recent previous months.

~   ~   ~   ~

Smudge, the dog, really got into the festive spirit.

 

 

But, for this lovely season, I even had the chance to visit

Hyde Park, London,

to soak up the atmosphere of

'Winter Wonderland'.

A real seasonal uplifter!

 

 

Not only fairground rides,

 but market stalls,

 with a festive feel helped to make this season

 that much more real.

 

 

 

With the Xmas gift giving,

a majority of us can expect the usual of slippers amongst those gifts,

if only I could fit into the ones below lol!

 

 

But,

 the religious theme of the birth of Christ,

 will reinforce the reasoning

 behind such celebrations.

 

 

 

With much present giving,

 

 

 

some of the most memorable present giving,

 comes from the packetaging. .  . .

 

 

Although my trip to Cyprus was October/November,

these images are still alive,

 with so many photos still to investigate.

 

 

 

 

Honestly though,

I do truly look forward to

A Belated Happy New Year to everyone!

 

An Autumn Wedding

 

 

October,

 a real fun time enjoying a family wedding,

 at  a beautiful Country House estate hotel,

 in the county of Devon.

 

 

The wedding detail was beautiful,

& many guest went home

 with a string of pearls,

 from the many,

 that were strewn across the chairs.

 

 

The Bride's bouquet was made up of an everlasting statement,

 from brooches & beads,

 which also matched the corsages,

 worn by the Mother of the Groom

 & the Mother of the Bride.

 

 

Although all of the hotel's rooms,

 were for the specific use of all the wedding guest,

 the wedding breakfast was laid out beautifully

 in an attached marque.

 

 

 

Packets of sunflower seeds for wedding favours.

 

 

                                        Numerous detail really added to this occasion,

                                         this couple really deserved such a special day.

 

 

 

Summer @ Barrington Court

 

This first photo is certainly a favourite for the Summer.

Just love the natural theme of a wild flower meadow.

Just perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the grounds of Barrington Court to the flowers they grow,

a beautiful natural place, definitely worthy of the

National Trust.

 

 



How Long!?!

 

 

Well, what a summer!

Where has it gone!

And hence, so long since I've been on blogger:)

 

This summer gone so quickly,

but there has been lots to look forward to,

including a visit from the family living in Surrey.

 

 

That includes their family pet, Smudge.

 

 

A visit to the beach was a definite on the hectic schedule,

 especially to witness how the children enjoyed themselves/

Although, it was lots of fun for the adults aswell.

This long fair weathered weekend,

 went far too quick for us all!

 

 

Down on the Farm. . . .

 

Just love to visit this place,

 a farm situated in rural Somerset.

I went to visit my god-daughter and her family.

Visits here,

 are very calming,

 and such a respite from busier times.

 

 

Loving the Summer

 

 

All these photos taken at Hestercombe Gardens,

Somerset.

A wonderful place for some tranquil quality time.
