Content Management System

Just a gratuitous plug for Mike's fantastic new software. Its a content management system for small businesses, designed from the ground up to be used by idiots. Maybe he had me in mind. I keep thinking of it as Pancake.

Off to a wedding tomorrow, half as guest, half as photographer.

21 years

Of being Russell's Mum.

If keep all blog posts this short I might as well be on Twitter.

October

Its that time of year, when the leaves start to fall and A-H calls to ask if I will be able to photograph her family again. It has become such a ritual for us both, I think. This year, I'm particularly looking forward to photographing Frederik with his new toy: an Aston Martin... woohoo!

End of days

There's change in the air. It can be painful. Accepting getting older isn't easy, but its not worth fighting. I did mention these are interstitial thoughts, didn't I?

Election night

I remember 13 years ago - I was so-o-o happy that the conservatives had been ousted. Now I can't wait to see the back of the party that got them out. I'm sure everyone who goes into politics does so with the finest, most honourable intentions. What a shame it never seems that way when they leave.

May morning

The title for this post happens to the title of a Runrig song, which expresses all the joy and happiness of being alive in spring. They've already done it far better than I could, so maybe I should just shut up now.

However, although my garden is looking great after spending loads of money on plants at the Sheffield Botanical gardens sale, elsewhere in other dimensions, everything is not perfect.

Google appears to be having a hissy fit! Mike website has suddenly jumped to page 1. I know I'm good, and I have been spending a bit of time on it recently, but it was a bit sudden. Abbeydale Photography is going bonkers, one minute its up there at the top, next minute its off the radar. Interesting times, as they say.

Spring, flowers, life, beauty

Its spring, after along, cold winter. Its such a cliche, and yet there's something so precious about every day, especially when the sun shines.

I'm making a new garden. I really can't think of anything I'd rather do. Its very frustrating, especially when the soil needs so much work, and when I see it everyday the changes don't seem so intense.
