My name is Erin and I am easily distracted...

Hello, Rhianne's lovely readers! I'm Erin from Pughs' News, and I'm happy to be here keeping you company while Rhianne takes a little holiday.

If you've ever visited my blog {and I'd love it if you did}, you'll know that I am a list girl. They help to keep me organized, and writing them just makes me happy! Today I'm making a list of the things that distract me on a regular basis.

Dreaming of Paris

Reading good books

A cup {or two} of tea

Writing letters {and watching my mailbox for replies!}

Fresh cut flowers

Memories of London {where hubby's from}

Collecting quotes... isn't this one perfect?

My noisy, adorable boys

There's more {I am very easily distracted}, but those two I just mentioned are demanding my attention! I'd better go see what's up.

Come visit me at Pughs News sometime soon, and we'll chat...

Stratford Upon Avon Part 3

I still can't believe that my little fling with black and white film in my diana mini has developed into a full blown love affair... I'm so happy with how the film and camera work together that I don't even want to try it in another camera. This combination has Paris written all over it, don't you think? I'm going to need so many films for when we go!

Amazingly I still have some more posts about Stratford Upon Avon up my sleeve but these are the only black and white photos that I took there, I got a bit carried away with the yashica to be honest, it makes the best sounds.

However, even though they are so different from the yashica photos, they capture the atmosphere and the sunshine just as well just differently, I love it.

Stratford Upon Avon Part 2

As well as having my Diana Mini with me for our week away, I also took the Yashica Samurai with me and I must admit, this camera is really growing on me. I love that it can pick up details that Lomography cameras can sometimes miss without losing the wonderful grain from the film or the quality of colour I've come to expect from analogue cameras.

{warning, lots of photos coming up, I couldn't bring myself to remove any...}

These were taken around the same area as my last Stratford photos and I find it fascinating to see the difference between the photos, not just with the layout but in how I take them and what I focus on. These capture the atmosphere, the light and the town so well. My photos always make me want to go back. I love that.

Location: Stratford Upon Avon, England

Camera: Yashica Samurai
