Harlow Carr Gardens

On Saturday we took my Grandparents on the train to Harrogate and made our way out to the RHS Harlow Carr Gardens.

Although I took my diana mini with me - it had a black and white film in it - so I'm really glad I had my new phone to play with. The colours of the flowers and trees were absolutely gorgeous, it would have been a shame not to capture them somehow.

We spent a total of four hours looking around in the end which I hadn't expected, so we didn't even get to show them Harrogate properly.

Maybe next time...

p.s. My right sidebar seems to have vanished on this computer and a couple of others, I'm trying to figure out why so apologies if you can't see anything to the right.

Around the Abbey with my family...

With Kirkstall Abbey being so close to our house, it is nearly always the first place that we take people when they come to visit and Friday with my Grandparents was no exception.

I always love looking around the Abbey with different people and different cameras as I always look at it a little bit differently and using my phone camera (and Vignette app) I got to pick up a lot more details of the abbey than I would have done with my Lomography cameras.

Luckily the weather held out for us whilst we were walking around (you can see we're all wearing coats in case of rain lol) and we got to see the Abbey in its full glory!

p.s. I kind of love the over the top light leaks that this app gives - I never really get those with my fim cameras and I'd probably not be entirely thrilled if I did - but it definitely has a certain charm when used with these photos. I'm having far too much fun with this app!
