Hipstamatic Fun Times

I love playing with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone.  You can use such great effects on your photos.

The cows I met in Maulden Woods.  They all wanted to be models in my photos haha!

Glorious Weather with Glorious Company

Here are some shots from our joyous weekend in the sun playing ukuleles, guitars whilst eating humous, crisps and strawberries.  Yum.

Best weekend ever.

I am currently waiting to go and collect my lomo prints which I've had developed.  Here's hoping they came out...!

The insides of my piano...

Ok, so this is me at my most nerdiest... 

My piano needed a bit of fixing so my piano teacher had to take the main panel off the front.  I've never really seen the inside of a piano properly.

It was fun to play the piano and see all the hammers moving.  But, as I said, this is completely geeky of me!

I thought it was quite beautiful yet technical so I figured I would take some photos...

Our trip to Belgium!

A couple of weekends ago I went to Belgium with my fabulous pals Becca and Daisy to visit Christina.  Christina has been working out in Brussels for a few months and invited us to visit.  Of course, we took this opportunity for a city break and headed on the Eurostar.

We did everything typically touristy you could do in Belgium... Eat chocolates, sight see beautiful Medieval buildings, go up the tower in Bruges (Colin Farrell style), eat mussels and chips and drink plentiful amounts of fruit beer.

Generally, a fabulous weekend!  We need to do this more often!

Snow... Again.

Ah snow, how can something be so beautiful  and destructive at the same time?  Normal life as we know it has been annihilated.  People abandoning their cars in the road, short journeys taking hours and the constant fear that you will slip straight over... Go away snow please.

Although, I did get some good photos of this weekend...

Diana F+ and New Blogs...

Ooh looky!  A shiny new title for my poor, neglected blog.

I am certainly not an expert at this html marlarky.  I can't quite get the header the size I want it but it will have to do.

As I mentioned in my latest post, I am trying to make more of an effort to blog regularly.  It's just difficult with a full time job but I am definitely going to try my hardest.

I can tick one thing of my list though since my fabulous friends have bought me a lomo camera!  This one in fact:

Diana F+

I am SO excited to see what the film is going to come out like.  I already need more film because I got through my film so quickly.

There is something quite romantic about the idea of taking photos and not being able to instantly see the result.  It made me realise how spoilt we are by digital photos nowadays.

I just hope the photos come out or I will be sad.

Emma and Steve's Wedding? Tick.

Saturday 23rd October 2010 was my sister's wedding to her shiny new husband Steve.

They got married at Wrest Park, Silsoe and it was a beautiful day.  The rain managed to hold off for most of the day and the sun even showed it's face a tiny bit!  We were extremely lucky and I didn't particularly fancy getting photographed in the rain!

Myself, Lauren and my cousin Rachel were all bridesmaids.  We had beautiful purple dresses which were surprisingly comfortable. 

We spent the whole morning getting ourselves ready for the big day.  Our hairdresser, Roxanne (ironically I went to school with her and hadn't seen her for about 8 years), did our hair beautifully.  (Although, it turns out I had about 70 kirby grips in my hair).

We did our own make-up and eventually we were ready.

The wedding car turned up earlier than we expected which created mayhem but we got there in plenty of time.

The ceremony was a success and it was great to see Steve's reaction to seeing Emma in her dress for the first time.  I wish I had a photo of that!

I played a couple of Baroque pieces on the flute (being accompanied by our family friend Richard) whilst Emma and Steve signed the register.  Hopefully people enjoyed it.

We then had many photos taken, luckily avoiding the rain!  It was freezing though!

Dinner was a success and the speeches were very enjoyable.

We drank a lot, got merry and danced.

I think I speak for everyone when I say an enjoyable and joyous day for all.

Brunch a la Tatters

I am loving my weekends at the moment.  I think it must be the Autumn feeling in the air but we keep doing quaint and lovely activities.

Today we were invited to Hannie's for brunch.  It turns out that Hannah is a muffin making extraordinaire and she dished out some glorious homemade plum muffins which were still warm and squishy.  Yum.

We even had bacon sandwiches with brown sauce and a pot of tea.

We then decided to Skype Graham to say hi before Zoe's laptop died a little bit.

We made the most of the last bit of the sun before Winter really took it's toll by strolling in the park.  We picked up Flick and thought we should continue being complete country bumpkins and pick blackberries.

What a joyous Saturday we've had.

Here's a shot of Flick looking rather tired after blackberry picking... And soggy from the wet grass.
