Easter kids photoshoot

A friend of mine came up with a great suggestion that will excite and benefit both child and parent over the Easter period with time to kill. In this modern world of digital photography, and people of all ages wanting to have a collection of photographs that show us all growing up, why not treat the kids to a photo-shoot, they will have a ball, my friend took his little girl to andybrownphotography, she loved every minute in front of the camera. The plus is you (the parent) get some great pictures at the end to cherish forever as well as your kids having fun. All details for a great few hours of fun are in the image below.

The best place to get hold of andybrownphotography is type him in Facebook and go from there.

Easter holidays, what to do?

Spring, why we love it...

It's the time of year that takes away those dark early nights and cold grey days. Replacing them with a fresh, bright, warming that's depicted by bright spring daffodils. The smell of freshly cut grass. The bumble bees first buzz. Excited children enjoying the fresh air. All coming together to form our true starting point to the year ahead.

Gardens at this time of year fill up with the hope of what's to come in the year.
Our kids can spend there first real days of the year running around the lawn, without the shouts of "you'll get muddy" or "it's to wet to play out." while the grown ups dust off the cobwebs from favourite chairs and tables, bringing them out of there winter resting places, catching the first rays of the year, hoping they will be, well used this year.

Hopeful gardeners begin their new year, admiring spring bulbs as they fulfil their short but very important life. They add the first bursts of colour into the garden. This in turn gives the gardener the belief and hope that they need to start the gardening year all over again, hoping and praying it will be better than the last.

So, will this spring bring with it a year to remember?
Will it bring a long hot summer?
We all know what we want these answers to be, and for these few bright warming weeks, after the clocks spring forward, we all believe it will be.
