A tale of love conquering the whole world…

Just a quick “weekend” recap even though it’s early Sunday morning and we have no idea what today will entail yet. Yesterday was gorgeous in every single way possible from the warm happiness I felt churning inside me to the energy bounces that came out of nowhere. It was a beautiful, positive day and one I won’t forget.

We went to buy fresh ravioli for everyone for lunch from the Italian man in the deli at the end of the road. Usually my Dad does it but he had just flown in from the States an hour before and had accidentally fallen asleep so we went instead. I love it in that shop, it’s so quirky and bustling with life. We ate and then Nathan and I went to see my Grandparents. We spent an hour with Grandpa talking about his youth, his war adventures and basically about all things fun. By the time we left, he was banging the table with happy fists singing at the top of his lungs. It was amazing to see his spirits pick up so much. We went upstairs and saw Granny who had dragged all her wires to the chair by the window. It was the first time I had seen her sitting up and she smiled so widely as I walked in. I ran and gave her a huge hug and we all had a little chat.

Then we went to walk Hattie. All the trees were bright orange, green and yellow. There was a little chilly nip to the air and we collected conkers. Heaps of horse riders were out and we ran amongst brambles and berries. It was so good to have that time away from life in those woods and just be lost from the world.  We came home and had Thai takeaway that my parents bought and my body started to fall asleep from the exhaustion of such a fun day. My Dad drove Nay and I back to our little abode and I wrote a lot through sleepy eyes. By the time I looked at the clock it was 1am when I crawled into bed and don’t remember anything else.

I love the feel of Autumn in the air. As much as we all lived for Summer, it’s so exciting to see the sun disappear below the horizon at 5pm and not reappear until late morning. Soon the clocks roll back an hour and we’ll collect pumpkins. The log fires will start where we roast chestnuts and play slow music to curl up with. So there is definitely a lot more to look forward to.

Have a Happy Sunday!

Nathan and I would proudly like to present to you our newest additions to our family…

Meet Tea and Biscuit!

They are two cheeky little Roborovski hamsters full of boundless energy. They are so loving to one another and are still adjusting to their new home together. We got them yesterday but they’re already getting very used to us, our voices and the noises we already find familiar around our house. Welcome to the family kiddos!

I am deeply sorry for the lack of updates lately (for those of you who do read this!) Things have been so, so busy and I felt like my head hasn’t even been screwed on the right way round! Thankfully things are beginning to quieten down so I can think again and get this blog updated!

So what’s been happening? What hasn’t happened?! If I went into everything we would be here until 2015 and I really don’t want to do that to you.

Nathan and I celebrated his birthday with pizza and light up balloons. We partied and danced and just had the best of fun. He’s all grown up now but I’ll catch him up in a month’s time. Eep. It’s so funny to think we’ve known each other since we were 16 and now we’re 20. We really have grown up together and I couldn’t ask for more. His work has been hectic, but as always he has coped and blown the socks of it all.

I spent last week in Bournemouth which was beautiful. 30 degrees every day and we’re now looking at a drought this Summer. Haven’t had one since 2003 when they even cut people’s water supplies off. Scary, scary. It hit 32 degrees today and it’s only heading up from here. We’re going to see rain on Thursday! First time in 2 weeks. Sorry, no offence but I do get very sick of people always calling England the rainiest place on Earth because it obviously isn’t. And I am loving the heat! I met a fellow photographer Olivia Bell and we spent a morning on the beach shooting and getting very wet in the sea. It was heaps of fun all the same.

I have been so busy with shoots lately. I was recently published which opened many more doors for me. It’s all about getting your foot in the door which is never ever easy. I did my biggest shoot yet in a graveyard 2 weeks ago. It was very scary and we were all squealing – even the men! Below is a shot of the few of us who headed back to the same station.

I promise to get round to doing a sole photo post very soon with some shots of my new work. Right now it’s getting late and I am absolutely pooped and need to hit the hay. My poor fan is working over time so I guess I need to give it a break for now. [:

Until next time Nakitt readers!

Today my lover is all grown up. He’s 20 and couldn’t look better. <3

Happy Birthday my darling. I hope you have a truly spectacular day full of all the amazingness you deserve. Put your feet up, you deserve it. [:

I love you and couldn’t be prouder to be by your side.
