Kiss me on the cheek

Some recent Holga captured adventuring in a surprisingly hot and sunny Wales (and some from my little trip to Canterbury)

On Sunday myself and Rob went on an adventure to find some outdoor wild swimming...and we found the most perfect little beautiful spot and had a picnic and a little swim..

The jacket Potatoes

On sunday, once again i made my way to the wonderful Abergavenny, with the promise of meeting up with old university friends for a day of catching up, eating amazing food, and walking in the Welsh countryside. And that we did!

Lucy and Steve made us amazing jacket potatoes with home-made chilli and grated goats cheese..we then chatted and i showed my current work, with blushing cheeks i may add.

We then drove in the cars to the Skirrid mountain, and had a strenuous hours walk to the top of the mountain where the views were as beautiful as ever.

It was good to go and clear my head, and be out of Newport, as i have been sucked into it for a good while now...

It made me sad that everyone is doing differnt things and moving away (Robyn is leaving for London on saturday to live, Steve and Lucy are planning to go to South America) but it also made me incredibly happy to know i have such lovely friends from my old university life who we can all meet and have a lovely time with!

It also makes me have INCREDIBLE itchy feet!

i'm alive, are you alive?

some more photographs from a shoot in wales. i spent a day and a bit at this amazing small holding, run by this couple, who take on woofers to work. they have built the place up over the last tens years, and it's ridiculously inspiring! it's on of the best places i have been to!

yesterday i made an amazing sweet potato, leek and goats cheese pie! lush!

I'm going to see eddie izzard tonight in cardiff, with tilly! i'm so excited!

let me know what you think of the photographs!

neglect

hello dear sisters, we have been neglecting little bloggy a bit! post more post more!

anyway to start us of on the epic journey of blog posting i thought i would show you some new photographs. these were taken at a community in pembrokshire, a new place in wales that i had never been to and had the joy of driving there, my my wales is beautiful! every new place i go to, i fall inlove!

this is for my project on self-sufficiency, where i want to show the different aspects of living self-sufficiently. so its not about communities, but for now they are a good place to start to show this! i want them to be sort of propaganda posters, like war propaganda in a way, showing these people as heros. i'm using large format and a lighting kit! this is something that is SCARY for me! but its so much fun, and makes me love photography all over again...

Tonight i went to a storytelling meeting, and met 2 more storytellers, who are going to be involved in my project. it was great and really inspiring, vic you would have loved it!

Anyway that's all for now as i'm really tired and i'm going to sleep innit! i can see my breathe, bugs!
