Early riser

A wise and wonderful friend suggested to me last night that I could blog in the morning before my hands are tired from work. As I’m attempting to train myself to be an early riser, this felt like a cracking idea!

This morning I took these almost silhouetted photos of a garden chair. Definitely getting the hint summer’s over when garden chairs are skipped!

Neighbourhood cats

I have been taking photos of the cats in our neighbourhood as there are so many characters. They are all so lovely! I am not ashamed to admit that I have cat lady tendencies.

I would love to look after cats all day everyday. Maybe one day…

 

Spreading the word

I have been collecting photographs of discarded furniture for about 4 years now, and have spoken to most people about it. A lot of people have been interested and a few people have glazed over, it’s never going to be everyone’s cup of tea! As a result people have been sending me the discarded seating they see, which I am always hugely grateful and delighted to receive. Here is a slideshow of the many sights my friends and family have sent me:

Thank you to all who have successfully spotted and photograph these seats!

Extreme camping

For the last week I have been living in a tent at Lanefoot Farm Campsite and it has been just what I needed. The weather has been changeable and challenging but somehow this made it feel more like an adventure. I saw so many animals, which made me extremely happy! The saying ‘The grass is always greener’ definitely applies to the Lake District, the grass is incredibly green and the views are outstanding! The first thing I found when I explored the campsite was discarded camping chairs and you can imagine how delighted I was. Here they are:

This pile of camping chairs looked like it marked the end of summer.

Here are some photos of the incredible views:

These are my favourite animals that I saw. The chicks were being taught how to catch and eat worms around our tent and they were super cute!
