I want to go back to Edinburgh!

Remember way back in March when we went to Edinburgh?
It seems like such a long time ago now... but these beautiful holgas sent from the lovely Wendy to the equally lovely Marisa (honestly, I adore them both) has made me want to go straight back there... its really not that far from Leeds...

I love Edinburgh, holgas, the photoswap and all my photoswappers, hurray!!

For more photos see Wendy and Marisa's blogs!

p.s. How have I only just seen these ladies?! I've been under a rock I'm sure...

Our first ever BBQ

So this was a little while ago now but the Sunday after my birthday, Thomas and I hosted our first BBQ! We went all out! We made our own BBQ sauce and garlic mayonaise, we had beer butt chicken, chilli, burgers, sausages, olives, salad, the works... and it was amazing!! I want to have another one already...

{BBQ'ing in our new shoes! oh my, mine are so pretty!}

{Yum!}

And to top it all off, C made me a DIANA CAMERA birthday cake!!! Isn't it amazing??? And it was delicious!!

Thomas takes amazing photos!

As part of the photo swap, Thomas sent his photos to the lovely Allyn from All Things Ami and these were the result. I'm so delighted they turned out as last year his film disappeared which he was disappointed with...

I'm definitely making him take the Yashica Autofocus to Poland with us, I love his photos and that camera is a dream...

You can see the rest of his photos here and nearly 700 more in the flickr group, its my new favourite distraction!
p.s. eep, I love him, just thought I should say :)
