Project 52: Week 50

Posted on December 17, 2012 by dorkymum

Just a very simple iPhone shot this week, but it’s to remind me how lovely our walks to nursery are on winter mornings. I haven’t tweaked this at all – it really was the colour of the sky this morning.

One Year On…

Posted on November 1, 2012 by dorkymum

Last week marked one year exactly since we moved from Edinburgh to Hertfordshire, and I am pretty proud of how we are doing. DorkySon has settled amazingly well in his new nursery – it has been an absolute delight seeing … Continue reading →

Early Morning

Posted on October 23, 2012 by dorkymum

Pigs… and Monkeys

Posted on September 12, 2012 by dorkymum

It may have been DorkySon’s best day ever. It was warm and sunny. First of all we walked, then we took a train, and then a taxi. He wiggled on my knee. “I’m so excited,” he said. We got out … Continue reading →
