English Countryside

Just looking at these photos makes me feel incredibly calm for some reason - perhaps its the soft blur the Helios lens adds to the photos (I really need to use this camera again soon!)  or perhaps its the content of the photos. Either way, they're making me happy! How did I forget that I took these last year?!

'Norfolk's loveliest village'

Whilst we were in Norfolk in September, we had a little walk around Burnham Market - self described as 'Norfolk's loveliest village' and I will agree that is a very quaint place indeed.(Although the website and these photos don't really show how much of a nightmare parking is there ha)

I took the complete husband photo as a joke for Thomas (as we'd been married about 3 days at this point) so I'm a little sad it didn't fully work out but oh well.

Creake Abbey Part III

Some little details that I spotted walking between the Cafe and the Abbey, including a friendly horse and even more coins.

I've only used my Zenit E twice so far but looking at these again is making me itch to take it out for some more photographic adventures together, I really love the photos I can take with it.

Creake Abbey Part I

First, I have a new template on my blog - hurrah! I get bored fairly quickly of layouts I've found and it took me all of last week to realise that was why I didn't really feel like blogging at the moment - but now things are a bit cleaner and simpler I'm glad to be back. What do you think?

I'm excited to be sharing photos from Creake Abbey here today - we had some of our wedding photos taken here in September (you can see one here, I love it) and we went back again to visit with friends and family the week after the wedding as well and of course I took my cameras with me. 

The abbey isn't that big - especially compared to Kirkstall Abbey near us and definitely compared to Fountains Abbey which is huge but its charming and delightful and I'm glad I got a chance to capture that myself on film. I'm always going to be extra fond of it after having our photos taken there I think.

I'm really pleased with the results from my second roll of film taken with my new to me Zenit E as well - I think I'll be taking it out with some black and white film again very soon.
