Oops, I've been completely forgetting to upload these 365 photos here again, but don't worry, I'm still on with it. In fact I've probably been using my phone more than anything for photos lately and I've been really enjoying it now that I have a phone with a good camera. 

This set of photos include the photos a day from our holiday too, so those are making me feel much happier.

Catch up - #BEDM and 365/2013

Arghhh, it's the end of May! That means it's June tomorrow and a week from now, I'll be on holiday. Excited is an understatement (it usually is for me anyway haha). So first #BEDM. I kind of did a rubbish job with this. I started well... but my issue with this wasn't anything to do with the topics or the blogging every day - it was the level of sharing. Every once and a while I forget that actually, I'm really happy with my blog and where it is - I'm really happy sharing photos, having conversations in the comments (I always try and comment back, so definitely leave comments), sharing snippets of my life and actually, I didn't and still don't want to talk about a lot of the topics. I am glad that I pushed myself to talk about everything that I wanted to though and I'm also glad that I realised that I do love my blog and being here still, so I am incredibly grateful to Elizabeth for giving me that through this challenge. It's so easy to look at other types of blogs (lifestyle, fashion, mummy etc) and think that the grass is greener - but actually, I've spent 4 years carving out my own blog niche and I know now, that my niche is exactly where I should be... hurray!

Now, my 365 project... the good news is that I have still been doing this and I'm really enjoying it now that the weather is starting to slowly improve... the bad news is that I'm about 50 photos behind on here. Oops. So I'll share a batch today and a batch tomorrow I think. So here is 101 - 124 with some highlighted moments :)

105 - A letter card from my Grandad :) yeay!
108 - a new camera (ohhhhh) I haven't actually used it yet but I'm planning on taking it away with me.

114 - Magnolias! Because you just have to
115 - Cake and tea on a special day with one of my very best friends. (You should check out her blog if you love cake, just saying...)
117 - I did take a photo but its of a secret project, so I can't share it here yet...
119 - I got a new phone. The camera is sooo good!
