windowsill jug
This small, high situated window is at the side of my fireplace in my little old french corner house. I'm lucky having these side windows, as its a great source of fresh cross air in the hot summers. The view is a dud though, as it just points towards next doors green...

The teapot in this photo is my newest acquisition, bought from a local charity shop especially for photographic purposes -always a good excuse 🙂 I'd been taking photos of it by itself but then I spied my hydrangeas and voila! Processing for a change was relatively...

I've been busy cataloguing my photos for the past few days; it's going to be a long job! I started off using AdobeBridge but someone suggested that Lightroom was the way to go. I've tried using Lightroom once before but gave up, preferring the extra control that...
