Sunflowers have to be the gem of September don't t

Sunflowers have to be the gem of September don't they? 🌻🌻
.
Evie planted her sunflower seed back at the start of summer and we've been eagerly charting its growth like proud parents, this week it finally flowered and she was so chuffed! Although it's not quite got to the dizzy heights of these ones at the sunflower trail 🤣.
.
So grateful for a quiet weekend after completing our first full week of school! Evie was straight in full time with no transition which TERRIFIED me but she's bossed it and we are so proud/relieved. I guess we're living for the weekends now! 😭☀️🌻| #sunflowerfield #sunflowertrail #aseasonalstyle

Seeing as we're having a mini Indian summer this week, I figured that gave me licence to post some sunny shots again! ☀️ #notquiteautumnyet
.
Evie has now been at school for four full days and we are so proud of how she is doing so far, but it feels like it's been SO much longer already and we are all shattered! I still can't quite get my head around the fact we have to do this 5 days a week, every week! 🤯 #mindblown
.
Will we get into a routine or are we just destined to be permanently tired from the juggle from here on out? Madness! 🤣🤦🙈 #wheatfields #fieldsofgold #lastofsummer

Hello September! 😃 . I've been rubbish at Insta

Hello September! 😃
.
I've been rubbish at Instagram in August as I've been soaking up the summer hols with my big girl before she goes and starts school tomorrow 😱😭. Last week we ran away to Wales for a final adventure before a busy September and it was brilliant! The weather was amazing, we swam in the sea, ate fish and chips on the beach, went crabbing, ate ice creams galore and generally had a lovely end to our August break. ☀️⛱️🦀
.
Now to gear myself up for the school gates tomorrow morning, I can't actually believe we are here and I'm an emotional mess 😭! Good luck to all the new starters (and their parents) this week! 💔 #summerholiday #augustroundup #schoolstarter

Hello! It's been so long since I posted on my grid

Hello! It's been so long since I posted on my grid I don't even know where to start!

Happy Friday? What a busy month we've had - from packing, moving into our new place, organising tradespeople, then travelling down south for a week long break to watch my big bro get married, catching up with friends and family that we haven't seen in over a year, coming home to a building site, sleeping amongst the dust, unpacking, trying to make the place feel like home one box at a time despite having open floors and holes in the walls, juggling work and summer holiday fun, and attempting to cook in a kitchen that's probably 40 years old... It's all great fun and very exciting but I feel as if I could sleep for a month and still not have caught up 🤣. Safe to say my surroundings aren't quite equipped for styling photos and baking cakes yet and my camera has remained safely away from all the dust, but I'll get there and luckily still have some photos from pre move that I haven't shared!
.
House wise, we now have a nice new boiler, lovely radiators in all rooms, all ugly pipes lining walls have been hidden behind walls and under floors (thank goodness), ugly electric fires have been removed and the whole house has been rewired. Next on the list is carpets, skirtings and oh yeah a casual few walls to knock down. 🤣
.
But here's to Friday, and having the TV tuned in so I can catch up on love island! 😍❤️🤦 | #fridaycatchup #movinghouse #firstweekinthenewhouse #floweraddict

This has become a little tradition of ours each summer and a rainy July wasn't going to stop us. We got lucky and the sun came out just as we got there, the fruits of our labour were sweeeet!

Strawberry season is my fave! ❤️ | #strawberrypicking #strawberryseason #childhoodsummer

Still mourning the end of peony season tbh! 💗 .

Funny story (well funny now, not at the time) - when we got our survey back from the new house there was a shocker in there - possible knotweed in the garden. We visited and sure enough saw some little red shoots popping out of the soil, cue panic and sending photos to millions of different knotweed specialists only to be told.... It was a peony plant! 😂😂
.
By the time we got the keys, there was lots of these gorgeous pink blooms greeting us by the gate! Considering its my fave flower I'd say it was meant to be! 🔑💗🌺 | #peonyseason #pinkpeonies #peonyplant

How is everyone feeling about Instagram's latest changes then?

I'm feeling pretty smug that I booked on to @littlepaperswan 'create beautiful videos' course which starts this week 🤩! Perfect timing, I'll be a video pro in a few weeks! 😂
.
In all seriousness though, I think there will always be a place for beautiful imagery but flexing our skills and trying new things can't be a bad thing either! It's something I've been doing a fair bit of recently as I've also been taking part in @lauracarlyadams photography course which has been lots of fun. This was my week 3 imagery when we were challenged to create a diptych. I finally feel like I'm starting to find my 'style' after years of flitting from one thing to the next. 🙈

Will you be embracing video or sticking with stills? 💗📸🎥 | #instagramchanges #instagramupdates #startwhereyouare2021

Very happy to finally be relaxing after another hectic week! There's a bar of chocolate and a glass of wine with my name on it.

Have a good one! 💗🤩🙌 | #happyfriday #tgif #fridayflowers

The rain has finally arrived so I'll just be over

The rain has finally arrived so I'll just be over here pretending it's still flouncy sleeves and pretty lilac when in reality it's jumpers and waterproofs.

Almost the weekend guys! I've had the busiest week ever and feel totally frazzled! 🥴🤯😩 | #almosttheweekend #lilacseason #portrait_perfection #aseasonalstyle
