Hello Autumn...

I love that the trees know more about the change of seasons than we do - all off a sudden the leaves are falling and the ground is littered with conkers!

I can't wait to: wear knee high socks, wrap up in a huge blanket, drink far too much hot chocolate, wear lots of pretty scarves and fingerless gloves, play with sparklers, kick piles of leaves in the park, make an apple crumble and take more pictures of perfect autumn mornings.

A few photos from my weekend...

So right now I'm in bed with the laptop recovering from a night of illness and feeling a bit sorry for myself (I'm still loving the laptop - I'm typing and watching Enchanted* at the same time!)

Anyway here are a few photos from the weekend to keep you distracted until I can finish scanning the Holga photos from Wales (I just got them developed, yeay!)

Some cute horses near the bus stop (I've been wanting to take a picture of them for ages...)

A lone pansy, how cute!

My new toys from Boyfriend - I love M.O. (they're only about an inch tall but I love them)

Some tape from

Papermash

I won in Tea for Joy's giveaway - I love it and I'm getting another parcel as well apparenty, I can't wait

Ok, this photo isn't from the weekend - I just added it in to cheer myself up :) don't you love his smiley face - I can't wait to see him next month!

How was your weekend?

*My favorite feel good film - Amy Adams is perfect as a Disney Princess and I love the songs.

I love Wales: Llanberis

Don't you just love Welsh names!

Llanberis was one of my favourite places in Wales - even though we only spent an hour stopping there for a picnic - it really was one of the prettiest places I have ever been. Based in Snowdonia National park near twin lakes at the bottom of the mountains, the views were stunning and Boyfriend (after dissappearing for a few minutes) managed to find the perfect place for us to eat by the lake and admire the views - he's so handy to have around :)

I also discovered a new love for portrait panoramic shoe photos in Wales - how great is it to have mountains and feet in the same picture! Oh and you can put them in Rollip at that size too.

Next time we go to Llanberis I want to get the train up the mountain - it looks wonderful!

I love Wales: Beaumaris

I absolutely and completely feel in love with Wales - it was so pretty, spacious and incredibly relaxing and serene. The landscapes were so beautiful and the coast line was stunning. I want to go back already!

We stayed in a caravan in Rhosneigr on the Isle of Anglesey but everyday we went to somewhere different around the North of Wales. I took so many photos that initially I had no idea where to start so I picked a place at random!

Beaumarisis a historic coastal town situated on the Menai Straights (the river that seperates the Isle of Anglesey from the mainland of Wales) with views looking across the river and out to sea.

The town also has a number historic buildings including one of the oldest houses in Great Britain, an Edwardian castle and a Victorian pier which were all amazing. I was especially fascinated by the oldest house as it was so tiny compared to the buildings next to it and was currently being used as an estate agents - incredibly random.

My favourite part was sitting with Boyfriend on the pier - we could hear the local fishman talking (well shouting really, they were really funny), smell the fresh air and watch the people and boats go past, lovely.

p.s. There are going to be alot of Panorama photos from Wales - it was just the perfect format for the beautiful surroundings - shame I didn't always manage to line them up properly though...
