Throwback Thursday

Don’t you just love Timehop? It’s a great app that allows you to link several platforms, whether social media, your storage clouds or computer, together, and it shows you what you did on this day, over the last few years! It pops up and reminds you of days gone by. I love seeing the photos of my kids!

The other day this one came up, and it was actually from last year.

   
The weather was a tad windy!!!! As you can see from the interesting placement of the trampoline, and our swing seat!

Today it is a little windy, a lot wet, but thank heavens, no runaway garden furniture!

Have a great Bonfire Night, those attempting fireworks! We’re content to sit inside out warm home, and listen to those souls brave enough to venture out into the wet and wild weather here in Kent, and let off a few bangers!

Hugh’s Photo Challenge #4 – Isolated

I thunk and I thunk… It’s actually easier to write, using one word inspiration, for me, than to think of something to photograph…

The word… Isolated… Thanks Hugh!

But then I remembered a photo I took, a few months back, on a family walk out at the prom. There is a lovely park on the bank of the Thames here in Gravesend, and in the spring and summer, it is a pleasant place to stroll with the family.

Lil Man takes every opportunity to get out there and kick a ball about so that day was no different… Except there is always that danger of losing your ball when playing close to water…

And lose it he did! His brand new bright orange ball… Bobbing away across the Thames, possibly in the hands of a little Essex boy now…

Though Lil Princess was convinced it would float out, into the open seas, cross oceans, and land in India, where my in laws were at the time. And that they would bring it back, obviously!
So here is my take on Isolated…

Happy Halloween!

Well it’s here! That day many kids have been looking forward to, so they could dress up and collect candy!!
And I know there’s a fair few adults who enjoy Halloween too!
I hope you all have a Spooktacular day!
And what special day would be complete without Sonu Singh doing  bit of dressing up…

Complete with skull jumper!!!
He was not impressed, but hey, doesn’t he look gorgeous?

But I Smile Anyway...

Respect!

Oh boy! 3 times!!! Wow, I am surely going to have to get myself sorted so I can properly respond to this amazingly humbling new award!
Thank you, this time Sandra, or Momma, as we lovingly like to call her for thinking of me for the respect award!
I am so touched!

Clarion Alley 2012Today is kind of like my happy day. First Jason with his amazing review and then this as well! Well, I found out about both of it yesterday actually, but writing about it and now posting it (after an amazing walk along the beach) made it so real. I can’t stop smiling to be honest.

Thank you so much, Rob, for nominating me for the Respect Award! I feel very honored to have been part of your list and I have lots and lots of respect for you and what you blog about as well!

Here is what Rob says about this award:

β€œThe β€œRespect” Award is my personal award for fellow bloggers who consistently reach out to other bloggers, offer support, are kind, struggle to understand differences in people, and who treat themselves and other people with kindness and respect.

You don’t have to do anything for this…
