Winter Sun

Just a few snaps taken during a beautiful winters sunset. Dramatic clouds, shiny sunrays and striking tree silhouettes - it doesn't get much better than that.

Clowbridge Reservoir

We took a post Christmas walk to a local beauty spot in the chilly winter air. Wrapped up snugly, we made the mile and a half walk around the water, taking in the truly beautiful surroundings. Lancashire is mighty beautiful in the snow.
Just a little bit pleased with how my photographs turned out today!

Cotswold Villages

We spent our entire holiday wandering beautiful Cotswold villages and towns. We perused more antique shops than we could keep count and admired the beautiful architecture and decor of the little old-fashioned places.
Although it was our third visit to the area, it was the first time we were actually able to explore properly, but we have already penciled in for an even longer break for next year, and we can't wait!

Lacock Abbey and Village

Lacock Village is nestled in the South Cotswolds. It is a famous village that you may recognise if you are familiar with the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice but also it is home to the birth place of Harry Potter!
We strolled around the picturesque village and found a little picnic spot before making a bee line for the Abbey and its grounds.

 Inside the grounds, we followed the flower trail and Louie put his photography skills to use once again!

 So many butterflies came out to play, I couldn't resist snapping away at the beauties.

It was fantastic to visit the home of William Fox Talbot, the Grandfather of Photography. The museum was of particular interest (of course!) and even my boys enjoyed it. The Abbey had beautiful stonework in the Cloisters and I enjoyed exploring the house in peace as they played in the sunshine for an hour.
