Like many other people, the ease of Instagram has resulted in a decrease in DSLR photos for me. But to be honest, I'm ok with it. I love how easy it is to capture <span style="color: #93c47d;">every day moments</span>. For special occasions and vacations I still love using my DSLR. <br />
<br />
My selection also includes lots of <span style="color: #e06666;">London</span> <span style="color: #e06666;">2012</span> olympics photos. It was a big thing here in the UK and I was lucky to be able to go to several events. I was completely swept up in <span style="color: #76a5af;">olympic fever</span>.<br />
<br />
It sounds a bit naff but I think the olympics, and in particular the paralympics, changed Great Britain for the better. People's attitudes towards disability have changed. Having spent my post-university year out working in a special needs school and totally loving my job, it's something that is close to my heart. I feel I could always see the possibilites but now so many other people do too. <br />
<br />
2012. T'was a great year : ) <br />

3. Still Laughing - <i>Minty goes crazy when the mail comes through the letter box. We try and shut him out when it arrives otherwise he snatches it as it comes through the door and everything has teeth marks through it. One morning I came downstairs to find him sitting with my mail. So I snapped him looking guilty (with a cheeky nose-lick too)! </i><br />
<br />
<i>My Mum recently gave me a card of a dog with mail in its mouth which said "You've Got Mail. I've added Braille," which was funny not only because it's so true for Minty but also because I can Braille after using it working at a special needs school.</i><br />

10. Summer Days - <i>paralympic equestrian at Greenwich Park. The weather was gorgeous and the view stretches right across London. The team GB horses were getting spooked by all the cheering so people stopped cheering and instead waved their little plastic flags when the horses came in the arena. It was almost silent except for the flutter of hundreds of flags. It was such a magical sound and magical moment, I will never forget it.</i><br />

Last weekend, I visited relatives near where I used to live in <span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b>South London</b></span>. The local shopping centre is much bigger than we have here in rural East Sussex so I made the most of my time there and did a little <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>autumn shopping</b></span>.<br />
<br />
My first purchase was a new <b><span style="color: #93c47d;">dressing gown</span></b>. I wanted a really soft, snuggly one for winter and found this one in M&S:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The colour is chocolate and it's sooo<b><span style="color: #c27ba0;"> cozy</span></b>! And at £22.50, it didn't break the bank. <br />
<br />
I also wanted some new <span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>slipper socks</b></span> to keep my toes toasty. I have <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Raynauds-phenomenon/Pages/Introduction.aspx" target="_blank">Raynaud's disease</a> and one of the main symptoms I get is permanently cold feet (due to poor blood supply to extremeties). As the weather turns colder, it becomes a real problem. <br />
<br />
BHS had 3 for 2 on these socks so it cost £22.00 for 3 pairs. I got one white pair with a red fair isle pattern, one red pair and one charcoal pair. <br />
<br />

They have plastic dots underneath so are non slip and inside there is a <b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">fluffy</span></b> white lining. I love them and they are so <b><span style="color: #e06666;">festive</span></b> looking too with the pom poms and cable knit!</div>

My final purchase was a pair of <span style="color: #93c47d;"><b>Hunter wellies</b></span>. I have had my eye on these for a while now but had been hoping to find them somewhere at a good price. I saw them in Costco for £60, a saving of £25 off the RRP of £85. </div>

For those of you that have never heard of Aldi, it is a discount supermarket chain which I currently <b><span style="color: #e06666;">love</span></b>!<br />
<br />
Since we live in a quite a <b><span style="color: #93c47d;">rural area</span></b> we have to drive at least 15 minutes to get to a supermarket. There are plenty of options around but Aldi is my favourite at the moment.<br />
<br />
Here's why I like it:<br />
<br />
1) It is <b><span style="color: #ffd966;">much smaller </span></b>than a regular supermarket. It's on one level and whilst the store does get busy, it's not that same heaving stressful experience that you get in larger supermarkets.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0isvPn4j9qt221XZioHMdUOlbiFQ6IvP-knx5RNgKzEWDkRZDdFAaB2p9bZhXD15V0L0vOaEys1KorA2J1_0pj0a1M4HpieQ0mzLeRmVObIFgV0ynw2CNUZ-MUgssvc7Vn35bXzGoLmE/s1600/aldi2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0isvPn4j9qt221XZioHMdUOlbiFQ6IvP-knx5RNgKzEWDkRZDdFAaB2p9bZhXD15V0L0vOaEys1KorA2J1_0pj0a1M4HpieQ0mzLeRmVObIFgV0ynw2CNUZ-MUgssvc7Vn35bXzGoLmE/s1600/aldi2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2) There are a <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">limited number</span></b> of products. You know how overwhelming and time-sapping it can be to look through an aisle full of different brand versions of the same product. Well, Aldi tends to have 1 brand of each product. E.g. there is only one strawberry jam option, one sliced ham option etc.<br />
<br />
3) The majority of products are just as good as major brands. I admit I used to be a<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> brand snob</span></b>. I liked sticking to well known names but that all ended when I became a student. It was more important to save the pennies and I soon realised the alternatives were usually fine, if not better. <br />
<br />
4) Their <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">beauty products</span></b> are excellent! I am in love with their little selection, see more on that later.<br />
<br />
5) The store isn't over-done. By that I mean it's pretty basic. Products are often displayed and stacked in <span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b>cardboard boxes</b></span>. There is none of that harsh bright lighting you get in other supermarkets. And there are no advertisements hanging from the ceiling or in your face everywhere you look. <br />
<br />
<br />

I had been on the look out for a new <b><span style="color: #e06666;">autumn shade</span></b> nail varnish for a while. Some nail varnishes now seem ridiculously overpriced but I was pleased to find a <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Barry M varnish</span></b> in Superdrug that I liked the look of.<br />
<br />
At <b><span style="color: #f6b26b;">£2.99 </span></b>it wasn't breaking the bank. It's called Nail Paint and the colour is <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">raspberry</span></b>:<br />
<br />

It actually has a bit more of a magenta tone that the above image suggests. The brush is a little soft so it's not that easy to get a clear line at the edge of the nail. Other than that, I love it. </div>

I went through everything in the attic and was <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">ruthless</span></b>. Some boxes had been unopened since we moved house 3 years ago and as far as I'm concerned if I havn't needed it in the last 3 years I most likely won't need it again!<br />
<br />
I also had a lot of university files and folders which I needed to keep but wanted to store properly in plastic boxes so the paper didn't deteriorate.<br />
<br />
I headed to Staples, a store which I havn't been to for years which is odd considering how much I love organising and <b><span style="color: #ffe599;">stationary</span></b>!<br />
<br />
I bought 4 of these 68 litre <a href="http://www.staples.co.uk/office-supplies/storage-archive-organisation/staples-plastic-storage-boxes/68-litre-plastic-storage-box" target="_blank">large plastic containers</a> on sale at £9.00 each, pretty good value I think! I will be using them to store books, photos and <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Christmas decorations</b></span>. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Y4T3iOm5IIZ6in3GrJCgI0Y4dmjLBZAQ6cqcruGeS67dVCeBBcOwvbgAuVmwG9GNyATheSs8qusokoEMs_b47rPK4vbEHa1Q_Yl5CAS3npdPBeHXH2KNGRJSGWxqQDManKxLCSf3oFo/s1600/storage+box+lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Y4T3iOm5IIZ6in3GrJCgI0Y4dmjLBZAQ6cqcruGeS67dVCeBBcOwvbgAuVmwG9GNyATheSs8qusokoEMs_b47rPK4vbEHa1Q_Yl5CAS3npdPBeHXH2KNGRJSGWxqQDManKxLCSf3oFo/s320/storage+box+lg.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I also bought 2 of these 6.7 litre little boxes to keep more <b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">fragile</span></b> Christmas decorations in. These were also on sale, 99p each! They will be kept inside the large Christmas containers. <br />
<br />

<br />
I could have bought so much more. I loved their <b><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Martha Stewart</span></b> range, especially the stackable desk organsiers in Tiffany blue: <br />

<br />
I live in the county of East Sussex which is in the south east of the UK but the county of Kent borders East Sussex, hence we visit Kent a lot too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
(The white patch north of Surrey and north west of Kent is London. Also the rest of kent is surrounded by the sea which you can't see on this image. A bit of UK geography!)<br />
<br />
After some research it seems there are 2 places which are renowned for <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>beautiful </b></span>autumn colours:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/SheffieldPark/" target="_blank">Sheffield Park</a>, East Sussex</b></div>
<br />
This is a <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>National Trust</b></span> garden of 200 acres which includes rare trees and shrubs set around lakes which give gorgeous reflections. There are plenty of acers, Japanese maples and North American species such as Nyssa, providing some of the best autumn colours. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> 2. <a href="http://www.forestry.gov.uk/bedgebury" target="_blank">Bedgebury Pinetum and Forest</a>, Kent</b></div>
<br />
This pinetum holds the world's <b><span style="color: #38761d;">finest conifer collection</span></b>. You may wonder how conifers give autumn colour but interestingly, not all are evergreen. <br />
<br />
This is what the curator has to say:<br />
<br />
"A walk through the Pinetum reveals a variety of trees chosen for their <b><span style="color: #f6b26b;">
spectacular autumn colour</span></b> - including liquidamber, tulip, ginkgo, oak,
black birch and recently-planted nyssa. The spindleberry and maples are
already turning a vivid pink. The cornus amomum is covered in metallic
blue berries and, as its leaves start to fall, the Katsura tree fills
the air with the <b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">smell of candy floss</span></b>. Around Marshal's Lake the dawn
redwoods and swamp cypresses, despite being coniferous, take on various
shades of <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">burnt orange</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">foxy red</span></b> before shedding their needles."<br />

I also read in the newspaper today that the autumn colours in the Uk are going to be particularly <span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><b>spectacular</b></span> this year due to the weather conditions. We had <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">wet weather</span></b> early in the summer which meant the trees produced a <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">large volume</span></b><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> <b>of leaves </b></span>which were also retained for longer. Then recently we had some very <b><span style="color: #f6b26b;">warm end-of-summer days</span></b> increasing sugar levels in the trees which will boost colours even further. Now we are getting <b><span style="color: #674ea7;">cooler nights</span></b> so the leaves will start to turn.<br />

I stepped on my first few crunchy ones this week.<br />

I <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">LOVE</span></b> this time of year and the <span style="color: black;">back</span> to school feeling that goes with it. However, for the first time in a very long time I am not going back to school. And it feels <b style="color: #9fc5e8;"><i>odd</i></b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">.</span><br />
<br />
My school days stretched from <b><span style="color: #93c47d;">pre-kindergarten</span></b> aged 3 up to 18 in the final year of secondary school. Then I went straight t<span style="background-color: white;">o<span style="color: #d5a6bd;"> </span></span><b style="background-color: white; color: #d5a6bd;">university</b><span style="background-color: white;"> in</span> the September and thus the academic yearly cycle continued for another four years.<br />
<br />
Then I<span style="background-color: white; color: #ffe599;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #ffe599;">graduated</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #ffe599;">.</span> And decided to take a year out doing something I had always wanted to do - working in a special needs school. <b><i style="color: #b4a7d6;">It was awesome</i></b>. And it meant I still went through all the motions and seasons of a school year. Now, I have finished working at the school and am going back to working as a dietitian.<br />
<br />
<i>But I must admit, I feel a bit <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">lost</span></b>. </i><br />

I just bought a regular year diary fill rather than an academic. I just cannot get my head around the year starting in January and ending in December. <br />
<br />
Here's what I will miss about going "<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">back to school</span></b>."<br />
<br />
1. <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Buying stationary</span></b> - This was probably the most exciting thing to do towards the end of the holidays. I was a stationary addict and had to have a new pencil case every September. And usually a new school bag too . . . <br />
<br />
2. <b><span style="color: #f6b26b;">New uniform</span></b> - I can still remember moving to a new school aged 9 where the uniform was very old fashioned in the colours brown, beige and bottle green. Yup, it was as ugly as it sounds! But when I put on that new scratchy woolen beige jumper, God it smelt good. I can still smell it today and I am immediately transported back to my bedroom, putting it on for the first time, anxious but excited. <br />
<br />
3. <b><span style="color: #ffd966;">New workbooks</span></b> - when you wrote your name on the front and start off with extra neat handwriting - such a nice feeling!<br />
<br />
4. <b><span style="color: #93c47d;">Enthusiasm to learn</span></b> - I always concentrated so much better in the first term back, wanting to get off to a good start, doing all my homework in time. <i>By Christmas however</i> . . .<br />
<br />
5. <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Feeling older and wiser</span></b> <span style="color: black;">- with each new year you had that little more responsibility and felt that bit more grown up than the year before. </span><br />
<br />
6. <b style="color: #a64d79;">The run up to Christmas</b> - having a Christmas birthday, this was always the most exciting time of the year for me. I loved having that to look forward to as the days got shorter and colder.<br />
<br />
<i>Oh well, guess I will just have to make new fall memories instead! </i><br />
<br />

It has been sitting in my bathroom cupboard because a) I'm not a big bath person, I much prefer showers and b) my skin is so ridiculously sensitive I avoid using different / unknown products.<br />
<br />
I enjoy being thrifty and am trying to be more so. The current <b style="color: #76a5af;">Pinterest</b><span style="color: #76a5af;"> </span>trend is helping me (<strike>to waste time</strike>) with this due to the never ending inspirations for crafts.<br />
<br />
So rather than throw the bath bomb away, I had a quick search on Pinterest for alternative uses for bath bombs but couldn't find anything. I tried google instead and there were a few suggestions including <b style="color: #93c47d;">drawer scenters</b> which I thought would be perfect for me.<br />
<br />
Here is the bath bomb, still in its box. It came packaged with <b><span style="color: #ffe599;">popcorn</span></b> which I thought was cute! I like the blue crystals in the top of it too:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I popped it inside a plastic sandwich bag:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And gently squeezed until the bomb started to crumble. It took a while to break up and get rid of all the lumps:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpYkESw14qWWLaJRTfE2powOgV49pw2z-9t2Ml8UPHZldB50UAtGbgjLhF8xdIOi9KiZAP1Pxfq1l0VBZKS7s5CqoNojic3kq7HfC0HghU85-48801-Nqg94R4mTrB-P-EbX0-mW4mUg/s1600/blogmodIMG_5573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpYkESw14qWWLaJRTfE2powOgV49pw2z-9t2Ml8UPHZldB50UAtGbgjLhF8xdIOi9KiZAP1Pxfq1l0VBZKS7s5CqoNojic3kq7HfC0HghU85-48801-Nqg94R4mTrB-P-EbX0-mW4mUg/s640/blogmodIMG_5573.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It was at this point that I discovered a <i>fatal flaw</i> to my plan . . . . the bomb powder was . . . . <b><span style="color: #e06666;">scentless</span></b>. Perhaps because it had been sitting in a cupboard for a year or more : / How I managed to miss that crucial fact I don't know, possibly something to do with hayfever and sinus congestion.<br />
<br />
Since a scentless drawer scenter is about as useful as a <b><span style="color: #f6b26b;">chocolate teapot</span></b>, I went back to googling for other ideas.<br />
<br />
I found something slightly less exciting but equally useful: using the powder as a <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">scrub for the sink</span></b>. Well, my sink needed a clean so I gave it a go and indeed, it worked beautifully. I only used a two-sided sponge, water and the powder and the sink looked super shiny! Plus I only needed a tiny bit of powder so there is plenty left over for future cleaning!<br />
<br />
Showing you a picture of my shiny clean sink is a bit boring so instead, here are the pretty bags I would have put the powder in and used as draw scenters:<br />

It had been on my to do list for ages and, well, we weren't disappointed.<br />
<br />
It was one of the most beautiful gardens I have visited in a long while. In addition, they had a sculpture festival event with beautiful sculptures strategically placed throughout the gardens.<br />

The was a pen full of real working bloodhounds. It was a <u>hot</u> day so the owners were splashing buckets of water on them to keep them cool and the dogs <i>loved</i> it. I wanted to take one home but Minty would have something to say about that . . .Flysshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865728031298053395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545772963475649399.post-60370987680546290012012-05-27T16:34:00.000+01:002012-05-27T17:09:53.183+01:00Scavenger Hunt Sunday 27.05.12This week's hunt is a little different for me. I didn't have the time or feel the inspiration to use my DSLR so I thought I'd take some quick Instagram pictures. Then I decided I'd add a little quote relevant to each photo. So here we go!<br />

There are horse, cattle, sheep and pig classes as well as lots of craft and country stalls. <br />
<br />
It was a HOT day so we didn't stay too long. The ice cream vans had a captured market and a Mr Whippy with flake is now £2.20!! Whatever happened to the 99p?? Guess that's inflation for you!<br />
<br />
On entering the showground, we were met with this ginormous steam
tractor which was pumping away. It smelt amazing, that steam smell that
makes you think of "The Railway Children". <br />

A great uncle of mine passed away recently. He was a collector and builder of model boats and he left two to our family. Here are a few photos of one of the models of a Dutch boat. <br />

I love the tiny little rubber ring, so cute! The attention to detail is amazing - note the hand rail and door handle. Its's difficult to see the size in these photos but these are tiny, tiny details.<br />

Love the red bell! Since we live 15 minutes from the sea, this model goes quite well in our house. <br />

I love the intricate detail on this model. Everytime I walk past I have to stop and have another look. It reminds me of a doll's house with all the little objects that are so realistic.

I've been using my Ipod Touch to snap photos a lot recently. I love Instagram and although the quality is rather poor compared to an IPhone or my DSLR, it's just so much more convenient than lugging a camera around.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my baby:<br />

However, a £65 million plan has been approved to transform the shopping centre creating 26 new stores and hundreds of new jobs. It is proposed that it will be finished by 2015 and look something like this:<br />

It is also likely that there will be a department store such as House of Fraser or John Lewis, something which is totally lacking in this part of the south east. If the redevelopment of the centre goes ahead as planned, it will mean a huge boost to the ecomony of the town. I know I would go more often. I'm excited, let's hope it all goes to plan!Flysshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865728031298053395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545772963475649399.post-69887146238634738712012-01-15T14:32:00.000+00:002012-01-15T14:32:42.199+00:00Memories, Dreams and Reflections 20111.

I love this photo that I snapped in Times Square during a crazy storm in NYC. It was just before Irene and I was on my way (walking) to see Wicked. The blurred man with the umbrella was legging it to get indoors. Let me tell you, Times Square was totally deserted and people must have thought I was cuckoo stopping to take a photo. But I guess if it was my favourite photo of the year it was worth it! Plus I was already soaked to the skin so I thought a few seconds more rain won't matter?<br />

These are some of my kids from camp this summer. They were 11/12 years old and it was such a nice age group. They were mature enough to appreciate sleep and not be awake all night giggling but still young enough to not feel embarrassed about wanting to play fun childhood games. I'm not sure if I will return this summer but if I do, I hope my girls still have that innocence. <br />

Since moving down from London, one thing which I really miss is a good place to go shopping. To be honest, neither Eastbourne or Hastings have particularly good shopping centres and I really miss that trendy London shopping vibe.<br />
<br />
The day after boxing day, we went to the sales in Eastbourne and it was hell on Earth. I wished I hadn't bothered going because it was crazy busy yet the quality of the shops and items was so poor. Today I needed to go back to exchange something and I was dreading it. So I decided I would try and have a look around other parts of the town, convinced that there must be some decent shops somewhere!<br />
<br />
So I ventured off the beaten track a.k.a the dull, run of the mill high street which is essentially a clone of every other town high street in Britain. The first place I came across was a Chocolate Cafe which had a beautiful 12 Days of Christmas cake in the window, each layer decorated according to the song. (None of the photos in this post were taken by me, they're all off Google as I didn't have my camera). <br />

It was nearly lunch time and I noticed they did savoury food as well as sweet so we decided to have lunch here instead of the usual sandwich in Marks and Sparks where we queued for half an hour to get a coffee last week, arrghh! Inside it looked like this:<br />

It had a black and pink theme which wasn't at all over the top. I liked the black silhouette canvases and chandeliers. Immediately, I felt that trendy London vibe. The food was delicous too. The coffee was served with a single chocolate truffle which was a nice touch and the sandwiches were on freshly made granary bread with some more unusual fillings like Thai Green Chicken. <br />
<br />
Success! I had found somewhere new and interesting! After lunch I headed to an older part of the town called Little Chelsea. It is basically two streets of independent shops, close to the attractive Town Hall which can be seen in the picture below. The bells in the clock tower happened to chime as we walked past, cute!<br />

There were a few more cafes, tea rooms and pubs which looked rather nice. There were also lots of cute and quirky gift, furniture and craft shops. I also saw a huge second hand bookshop but ran out of time to go in because of the parking meter. I love rummaging in old book shops, you never know what you'll find - I will definitely go in next time. Not only were the books piled to the ceiling inside, they were also wrapped around the shop on the streets either side of it. Unusually in this day and age, the books are left outside when the shop is closed and customers put the money through the letter box!!!</div>

I was so glad I made the effort to seek out new places today. I feel much better about my local town now. When I first moved down here I was excited to discover new places but I think since I've been working, I havn't made the effort so much. Today reminded me not to be lazy! More on Eastbourne in my next post as I discovered some interesting facts about the future of the town today.Flysshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865728031298053395noreply@blogger.com1
