There are no rules

So its been a while. And its been a year. I ,um, don’t even know where to start to be honest… I had all the good intentions to only be away for a little while and then I got really poorly. In the end I had my gallbladder removed in the early summer and unfortunately one of my scars became infected - all throughout those crazy summer heatwaves we had here in the UK. I would not recommend surgery and recovery during a heatwave! Especially if you have CFS/ME on top. Sadly not too long after that, we also lost our Grandmothers and it feels like I’ve only just had time to catch my breath and really process how hard the past few months have been - both physically and mentally. I’m ok - I’m not ok. You know how it goes.

However, there is some good news - in having my gallbladder removed, I have had a bit more energy to take a camera around with me - and after a serious photography/blogging drought this year - I finally got some photos developed huzzah! It feels a bit strange to have hardly taken any film photos for a while, but I’m hoping to carry a camera around a lot more often now. The other good news is that other than Jim and Helen who I think perhaps will still probably read my blog (Hi both if so! I hope you’re ok and thank you) - I generally have no clue if anyone else does - so it doesn’t really matter what I do around here. This is my playground all - join me if you will.

First up - lets just get into some juicy photos shall we! Some of my favourites from the last few rolls I finally got developed - in no particular order.

More Scarborough Love

As well as taking my new to me LC-A out and about recently, I’ve also been taking my Olympus OM-10 on little adventures. I feel a bit bad about my Canon EOS 750 gathering dust but its time will come again I’m sure.

We had lunch at Ask Italian (pea puree instead of tomato sauce on the base is my current new favourite thing - don’t @ me) overlooking the harbour and it was such a gloriously sunny day for it. What a treat!

Sandilands, Lincolnshire

Even though I grew up in Norfolk we never ventured to the Lincolnshire coast line, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was really lovely, similar to Norfolk (which you would expect) but with its own certain charm to it. I mentioned before loving the beach huts in Sandilands and you can see them here with the front and back windows - totally delightful!

We didn’t have much time here, so I’m hoping if I do go back again soon to keep my eye out for more little details and colours that catch my eye!

Gorgeous Textures

I’m not going to lie - these might be some of my favourite recent photos. I just LOVE textures like this and old things and photos that fill the frame and little details of things others might just glance over without a second thought. Oh these photos make me giddy!

They were taken in Sandilands on the Lincolnshire coast, which doesn’t look like much when you first arrive but I had the best time looking at all the old beach huts, they had windows on the front and the back and were honestly just delightful.
