Birthday Season!

It's that fun time off year once more when all of Callum's friends have their birthdays. Cannot believe that they are all turning two!! So far we've been to seven parties plus a join birthday BBQ with one of the groups of mum's I meet up with ... we've another 3 to go plus Callum's birthday party.

Jon's parents and sister came over for the Bank Hols weekend. The weather was glorious although a little too hot on Sunday. Callum had lots of fun playing out in the garden with his Gran and Granda.









We've also completed the first module on the photography course. With having visitors over the Bank Hols, I couldn't get out to take too many photos. I did learn a lot - it's just a shame this wasn't reflected in my photos. It is something I know I will use again and again, especially when the sun is right!

I met up MJ and her son at Greenham Common on Thursday to try and take some more photos but the sun decided to do a disappearing act. We did however take some gorgeous photos of the wild ponies on the common. Oh, and Callum was introduced to blackberries and loved them.

We had a very relaxing weekend though. On Saturday we popped into town and called to see my parents on the way home. I finally completed the digi scrapbook album as a thank-you for taking us all on hols. They were both really chuffed although Dad did make a comment that he was only on one photo in the whole album!! He's worse than me for staying behind the camera.

On Sunday we went to Combe Gibbet (nr Inkpen) and to Wilton Windmill - I hadn't been to either place before and thought they might be some good photo opportunities.

Not too bad, but my better photos were non-module related!!

We're heading out with MJ on Tuesday to try and find a good location for photos ... fingers crossed the sun makes an appearance.
