The other week, after I’d picked up a new tool of the trade, which needed testing, I took a little walk with my camera. I little wander around Runcorn, Cheshire taking some pics was just what I needed….the fact that I was doing it for about 3 hours is another tiring matter
I had lots of fun playing with my new toy (by this I mean serious testing took place). I hope you enjoy the pics
G – Edited to add, my new toy is a 5d mkii and a 24-105 f/4 IS L lens.
Today is Joshy’s birthday, he is FIVE!!! I can’t believe my little boy is now a big boy, in school and FIVE.
He had his party on Sunday, and afterwards we nipped to the studio to take a few pictures, whilst he was all dressed up as Superman.
Happy Birthday Pal, Love you so very much.
Today, I shall wear my poppy with pride, and remember not only those who fell to allow me to have the life that I do, but also those who served and those who currently serve. I am thankful that these unamed heroes choose to do what they do.
They spend countless time away from their family, so that I may be with mine, in peace.
Thank you fallen heroes, thank you for standing up for this country, thank you for giving your life so that future generations may be free. Thank you to those who served and lived to see the end of the wars, and thank you to all those, heroes, who currently serve….the world is a better place for you having you all in it.
If you are on twitter, there is a guy retalling World War II day by day over 6 years, he is currently in 1939. http://twitter.com/#!/RealTimeWWII Check it out, it is a fascinating way to retell the history.
So today, I hope this country falls silent as one, and gives not only rememberance, but also thanks to out heroes.
Below is a picture, remembering the Batlle of the Atlantic, details on this can be found here
Today, Josh tried on his school uniform for the first time. He looked so grown up. It’s hard to believe that it is 4 Years, 8 Months, 3 Weeks and 1 Day since I was witnessing the most life changing and wonderful thing, and now in just over a week Josh is going to start school!!!
We are all very excited as to where this next chapter of our lives will take us, a smarter Son, who already knows-it-all, I expect.
To mark this proud moment, Josh got all dressed up in his St Edwards uniform, and had his photograph taken. So now, as the printer prints off these images for grandparents, I thought I would share some with you.
I know you’ll all agree that he looks very handsome and grown up.
Today we headed to Chester Zoo for a couple of hours, we have annual membership so sometimes it’s great to just nip out for a little bit, especially if it’s really busy.
Josh was really excited to have a good run round seeing some of his favourite animals…….his most fave being the giraffes!!!
I’ve enjoyed having a quieter start to the year in regards to weddings, as I’ve been able to spend some extra time with Josh and Carol
I must admit, I love taking pictures of animals, when I was a kid I really wanted to be a Vet, not just any Vet, but a Zoo Vet – thanks to a crappy teacher who told me at 13 that I wasn’t clever enough, I never persued it – but I still love them.
