Let it snow!

Ok, full disclosure this post title is deceptive I will admit.. one because you would never hear me genuinely mean the phrase 'let it snow' unless I didn't have to leave the house at all (snow is ok if I'm suitably dressed I guess but I hate icey conditions) and two - because it is incredibly mild in the UK at the moment - so mild it doesn't even feel like Winter let alone Christmas!

These photos are actually from the end of November when the weather was acting like you would actually expect and I even braved it outside to take them - mostly because we were walking to an inside heated pool and also because I was sharing the snow excitement with my one of my favourite small humans and some of my favourite fully grown adults too.

We stayed in a lovely holiday park for the weekend in the Peak District called Darwin Forest that is similar to Center Parks with lodges and facilities like a pool, gym etc. And waking up to the snow made us almost forget we were in England, isn't it pretty!

With the tradition of the weather not acting like it should at the moment, I'm expecting to be taking my next snow photos in a freak April snow storm!

My awesome hen do photo challenge!

Now that its internet official that we're married (!!), I can share the photos I took at my hen do with my film cameras here as well. Hurray!

I can quite happily say that my hen was one of the tamest hen parties ever - it was a weekend at the beach where 3 of the guests were babies, another was my Nanna and of course Harry the dog came too... and it was AMAZING. First I love the beach - so it was a perfect location and I love all the women in my life so much that it was just wonderful to have everyone together in one place. I got so many hugs haha!

For the day on Saturday my little sister put together a photo challenge around Filey that I kept thinking Che would have been so proud of! And with film disposable cameras too. Oh my gosh, it was so much fun!  I love how she wrote "Think like Rhianne" and included feet photos and of course a 'look up' photo on the list too. 

So here are some of my photos - I've included the prompt for each photo below too. So much fun :)

"You don't need to listen to stand to listen to music here" (can you spot Harry?)

"You don't need to listen to stand to listen to music here" (can you spot Harry?)

"Now that's what I call a sandcastle!"

"Now that's what I call a sandcastle!"

"It's not the beach without an ice cream"

"It's not the beach without an ice cream"

"Go on, get your feet wet"

"Go on, get your feet wet"

"This sweet seaside treat will always let you know where you are."

"Sandy Toes"

"Sandy Toes"

and finally... "Look Up Filey"

and finally... "Look Up Filey"

Confession - I'd already taken the look up photo of the bunting before I knew about the challenge... I'm so predictable it seems ha and my sister knows me well. Great job sister :) yeay!!
