A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 16th November 2024

Saturday 16th was November's photo an hour date - the last big carnival of the season here in Somerset! We had breakfast and then Andrew collected my brother from his care home whilst I sorted out all the carnival costume bits from the previous night's procession in Wells. Then we all headed down to Glastonbury for the final parade!

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 20th July 2024

Saturday 20th July was the date chosen for July's photo an hour. Unusually I had the whole day at home to myself as the other half and Small Person were camping at a local steam rally. I mostly spent the day sewing and trying things out for Small Person's carnival costume.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 22nd June 2024

June's photo an hour date fell on Saturday 22nd - and it was a lovely sunny day! One of our local recycling centres recently opened a reuse shop and we had a shopping list of a comfy chair for Lily's bedroom and a bigger scooter for her so we explored there in the morning. We managed to find both items at a relatively good price! £15 for the chair and £3 for the scooter so that wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon we headed over to (what was) my Mum's house to do some sorting, clearing and tidying. And in the evening we visited my Dad in his nursing home and then headed home via some local share & reuse boxes.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 20th April 2024

April's photo an hour day was on Saturday 20th. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that my Mum died on 11th April after both a long illness (a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2019) and a short illness (swelling from brain tumours). It was also mine and Andrew's 17th wedding anniversary on 21st April so we thought Saturday 20th would be a good day for a trip to the seaside to both remember my Mum and celebrate 17 years of putting up with each other. We chose Teignmouth in Devon - one of my Mum's favourite seaside towns.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 20th January 2024

Saturday 20th was the first Photo an Hour day of 2024! We'd promised Lily a day trip for her birthday (which was the next week) and she picked Barry Island as the destination. We didn't quite expect it to be so cold though! Although we still managed to see the funfair, have some ice cream, find some playgrounds and finish the day with fish & chips.
