160 - Light up

159 - Ribbon

I'm getting crafty this Christmas. Goodness knows why, it's not really like I have the time...But we're hosting Christmas at ours this year (for the first time! eeeek!) so I want everything to look festive.

158 - Twinkle Twinkle

Everywhere has their Christmas lights up now, I should probably get a move on with mine!

157 - The Old Curiosity Shop

I love Bridgnorth, for the strange shops you can find yourself in. I'm not sure whether this one was the best shop, or the most scary shop, I've ever been in, but it definitely made for an interesting Sunday!

The winter sun, on our street...
Love this time of year :)

155 - Winter has begun

This is the first sign of jack frost we've seen this season - we've been really lucky...do you remember how Britain looked on 2nd December last year? Take a look at Helen's pic here...!

154 - Poms

Tonight I turned my hand at making decorations for Harry's christening next weekend....all in a days work as planner-slash-godparent :)

153 - Strike

Today (Wed 30th Nov) a lot of people affected by the cuts to pensions in the public sector are striking. It's incredible how many people there are marching around the city centre today....

152 - Candycane

We got our new carpet fitted today...I'm so happy with it, it's really quite tragic. Oh well....Happy Christmas to me :)

151 - Retro

I really wanted a go!

150 - Going Up

149 - How can you miss him....

Even though I nearly did, because I was too intent on looking at the map to find him! The first stop in our whistlestop tour of the big city.

148

It's my birthday on Sunday, but we're going away for the weekend, so I've been allowed to open some cards early!

147

The most important meal of the day


146 - Browsing

Everyone loves a potter round the Birmingham Christmas Markets 

145 - Communication is key....

You won't believe the problems we've had trying to switch from one broadband provider to another....well, you probably will...bit it's all sorted now, and I'm very pleased to be back on-line!

144

Inspired by a fellow 366'er, Andy Reeve (see it here)...not as good though....!

143 - a long drive home

142 - Bunting

141 - What to wear....

Rihanna tomorrow :)

140 - Reiki

I had Reiki today from a recently qualified friend....I hope the Reiki Master can bring me that Ferrari I asked for soon ;P

139

I bought myself a Cupcake kit recently, I can't wait to give some new recipes a go...

138 - Floozy

137 - feeling creative...

136

I hate it when things die, especially such pretty things as these....

135 - Autumn

134

Invitations for Harrison's party in December (Officially Doubleyou Weddings & Events first event) have been cut, tied, glued and written. The first in a list of things to do for the big day...

133 - Qube

132 - Square Eyes

When Steve's curious (and it happens a lot!) the tops of his eyes go flat...I wonder what he made of the camera!?

131 - Not again.....

Roll on my Flu Jab :(

130

Paul recently got a promotion at work (Yay!) which means he's working away a lot more than before (Boooo!). It's a rare occasion that I do his ironing...and you can see why....not very good at shirts am I :)

129 - The Coaly Tyne

This was one of the many shots I took of the Quayside, on a lovely weekend spent showing Paul around the sights of Newcastle. I can't believe it was 11 years ago I left this place....it was good to be back - and I finally took those pictures I wanted for my GSCE Art project (a little late eh?!)

128 - Fireworks

127

OK, so this could be cheating, but it is actually a photograph I took...of a photo of my Grandma's Dad. I'm going to try and touch it up a bit, so watch this space and once I've learnt how to do it (!) I might publish the 'after' shot too!

126 - The Rules

This was taken at the Photography course at Birmingham Botanical Gardens. We were on the first floor balcony trying to take some shots of fireworks, but since we were taking turns to get a clear view, I thought I would use the opportunity to follow the rule of photographers...kind of. They say always look up...well, I looked down :)

This is my favourite place at this time of year - Can you guess where it is? :)


123 - Haunted

Every Hallowe'en the white lady comes and....cooks for me???

122 - Midlands Vintage Chic

Today (30th October) Jill Evans Photography, Andy Reeve and I visited the Midlands Vintage Chic wedding fair, for research into my new little venture Doubleyou Weddings & Events. I fell in love with how beautiful the event was, with some exceptionally talented vendors. I am looking forward to joining them next time :)

121 - Texture

Taken in the 'Golden Hour' before sunset....I like the texture of the grass (is it weird that it makes me want to lie down on it?!)

Monday 31 October 2011

116 - Mmmmmmmmmm....

115 - Bath Time!

Communal wash, anyone?

114 - The Viaduct

Ever since I started the 366 project, back in July, I've had my eye on the viaduct at dawn. I still think I can get better ones than this though so watch this space....

113 - Lily Flower Garden

I received a lovely bouquet from a florist I met the other day, The Lily Flower Garden....Gorgeous purple lillies! I'd recommend using them for any occasion!

112 - Smile

We've been light painting this week, at the botanical gardens. This made me smile!

Enya, in Brindley Place
