Been really incredibly busy with Scentsy

.  Looking forward to a couple days break in the midlands with James' family.  Hoping for a lot of good things to come my way in the new year cause I'm exhausted frankly.  Only so many trials one person can deal with.  But have lots of hopes for the New Year:  Want to take more pictures and make more time for me amongst other things >>

More Leeds and then a bit of London

These were all taken with the Fuji Instax Mini.  My word I love that camera.  The colors are to die for and it makes everything look like a watercolor.

I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed since Leeds with emotions.  Feeling really lost and its been a real blessing to be able to turn to photography to find the words when regular talking seems to fail sometimes >>

Leeds Castle Festive Fair

Spent the weekend at Leeds Castle and their Festive Fair doing a Scentsy stall.  We got to stay at their Bed and Breakfast on the grounds so we got to wonder around after hrs and get some great pictures in the early morning.  Leeds Castle is stunning and it could have been a cracking event.  Its a shame the Fair was so poorly organised though.  You just never know really with events >>

Felt really good to get outside to do pictures today.  Went for a walk with James.  Despite it being nearly the end of October, the leaves had barely changed and there were still roses in bloom in Greenwich Park.  Even still the air is starting to have that autumn smell and the temperatures are starting to really change enough to where its impossible to go outside without at least a warm sweater/jumper.

Paris 2

We started mornings with fresh baguettes and croissants...wandered through the city till late afternoon and rested at the hotel till dinner.  Not a single museum stop this time but the opportunity to slow down in this city was embraced with enthusiasm. 

Paris seems so natural and easy for me.  I have often wondered if in another life I lived in Paris or if my feelings about the city are just a reflection of the beauty of the place.  Who knows, but I do know that Paris will always have my heart >>

Shows, Shows and more Shows

Last week I did 3 Scentsy shows and my gosh, I never knew something could be so much work in my life.  I don't have a car either (you don't need one in London) and so everything you see I've dragged around via a suitcase.  I think I'll be losing weight dragging these things round.  On Sunday I had pity taken on me by some very kind people who saw that I was trying to drag a massive amount of gear up and down 3 flights of stairs at a train station >>

Misc.

I've been so busy with other things....I feel like my creative bucket is completely dry.  I feel at home when I'm taking pictures and since the marathon, starting Scentsy (to try to pay for my pictures LOL), etc. etc...my 365 day project completely fell apart.  I must start this again because it forced me to snap when I didn't feel like it and it really pushed me as an artist >>

The Royal Wedding: In pictures

Anyway...other big things to worry about.....a certain wedding happened today.  Not sure if you heard much in the news but William and Kate got married this morning.

We got up early and after an English breakfast headed out.  By 7:30 when we arrived at the mall, it was already completely packed.  We couldn't get very close to palace at all (people were camping out for days), so we pushed through and managed to get a decent view near the bottom next to Waterloo Place.

The atmosphere was absolutely incredible.  In 10 yrs of living in this country....never seen anything like it.  It was wonderful to see all the flags waving, the little girls dressed up as princesses, people dressed in their Sunday best and wedding hats some even dressed in wedding gowns >>
