Beauty in Decay – Pink Hydrangea 1
The hydrangea bouquets have been drying away quite contentedly in their vases, out of my own sheer laziness and neglect really. They’re still in the water actually – I should really sort that out. Anyway, today I decided to photograph the pink ones, they have really held their colour so beautifully – the original photos…

All with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my…

Five Minutes with my new Handbag – RegularRandom
So, I might have bought a new bag 😊 It’s been a rough few weeks. I needed a little retail therapy. Plus, my favourite handbag, that I’ve had since 2010, was destroyed by mould in my leaking apartment. These are my reasons. But really, I just wanted it. So I got it. Perfect opportunity for…

So Much Chocolate.
Somehow, my desk at work has become the repository for chocolate. I was given a special block as a little gift for some work that I did, and my team ate the whole thing one day while I was in a meeting. They felt so guilty about it that they bring me a new (not…

Remember the Cookie?
Remember the Mother’s Day cookie? Well of course I had to get a whole lot of shots with it. It was so cute. I love the pink marble effect in the icing. At the end of the post, I’ve included some shots with my Traveler’s Notebook journal as well. I still haven’t eaten it, I…
