Remember, Remember

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

I am just like a small child when there are fireworks about...I love them so much.

I remember the joy of bonfire night, the hot dogs, the smell of fired onions and gunpowder in the air, gloved hands while writing your name with a sparkler, the heat of the bonfire, the amazement of the fireworks, the ground shaking booms, the whizzes, cries, Ohhh's & Ahh's.

Although I am growing a babe in my belly, have a ring on my finger, & a handsome man by my side, time flashes back....as I stand in that school field, I revert back to being 10..... the joy etched across my face.... Pip jiggling in my tummy.....Life is wonderous right now.

First Frost

A big Kiss from the sky on a frosty autumn morning.

The gentle icy covering makes everything so beautiful.

The old faithful winter coat and hat are out....I wonder how long I will fit into that coat of mine....and what I will do when I don't.

A good coat is hard to find :)

Feathery Friend

For the last few days I have been wearing my winter boots...in June...this is bad, why are our summers so useless? 

So as the autumnal feeling sets in...I was thinking of oranges, burnt reds, browns and all the yummy colour that will soon be with us...today is the longest day after all....

My Ma gave me these glorious feathers after a clear out at home. They are just stunning, the colours, the softness, the tiny smallest feathers you have ever seen, and the iridescence dark black plumes, which always remind me of oil spills, the rainbow of colours.

A pheasant has never looked so fantastic...can you see the autumn bride with a delicate bouquet of these feathers? For the boys?...well every man should have a feather in his cap...or buttonhole!

Hip Hip Horay....Autumn is here!!

As I opened the window in my studio/still bedroom this morning I smelt it.... That gorgeous crisp chill... The salt in the air.

I heard the russling of falling leaves.... The howl of the wind and the screech of the sea gulls...

I looked at my home and photographed a few of my favorite things in the Autumn light.... my line up of Scotties.... the champagne chairs and table... a silver vase with trailing ivy....

The gourdes of the season looking wonderful with the daffodils of spring.....

Wrap up warm and Enjoy your weekend....xxx
