The Honeymoon of my Camera

I got a new camera for my 18th birthday (I'll be posting about it soon no doubt) last thursday! Exciting! So I got a little snap happy, immediately wanting to snap up every last, fresh, vibrant moment I could see within my garden or the views around it. So here's a little stream of pictures to entertain, provoke thought, or make you smile...

A little abstract I know...:)
Sweet little Archie!

Gluten Free Bread


There isn't much better than warm, homemade and gluten-free bread on a sunny weekend :) At least that's what I felt when I was crunching on my marmalade toast! And a cup of tea of course. And the beautiful thing is, it's just so easy to make. Something crazy like: 500g of flour/ 1 sachet of yeast/ 1tsp salt/ 1 tsp sugar/ 2tbsp vegetable oil and 500 ml warm water! Give it a go, you won't regret it! Obviously, the skill is needing and creating the perfect dough- but I have to be honest and tell you I used a bread-machine for this one. I'll have to try it by hand next time, but this one tasted perfect, anyway, this is just a little taste of a yummy blessing we can enjoy, and a post to solemnly acknowledge one of our most staple diets: bread!

Gina

Blogging about your 'little-sister' seems to be a thing, or maybe that's just me... So it was with sadness that I realised- I don't have a little sister to take pictures of, or write about.
I may however, have the next best thing: a sister who is one minute older than me! Eh? Not many people can say that. She may not be cute and smile with teeth missing, wear bows or pretty dresses or dungarees, but she is pretty amazing. She and I have exactly the same sense of humour for a start, and as a consuquence...we laugh. Alot. It's fairly hilarious sometimes, I seem to remember one moment this holiday revising where we had to go into separate rooms, stick our heads out of windows and scream to get the hysterics fully and completely out of our tickled systems! Yup- It's a blast. But obviously we have arguments... Haha, it sounds a bit like I'm advertising...immagine selling twins on ebay: Yes, their full range is from 'minor tiffs' to full scale war; involving the throwing of pens and, yes get this, the breaking of locks! (the bathroom door has never been the same.) Hah... If I were advertising Gina I'm sure people would think I was selling the angel gabriel or something! Well, not if I told them about the way she has this 'thing' against mayonaise, has to sleep with the blinds open, and always takes the laptop first! But if I was truthful, and divulged how well she can play the guitar, piano, tennis, loves a bit of mischief, is always willing to cook extra gluten free pasta, will never say no to tying my hair in a plait, enjoys making up songs with me, meals, works of creative-genius! I'm sure they'd buy her in a heartbeat. And she is all of those things, and much much more.

Sky


It's big. It's blue. It's changing. It's constant. It's an expanse mankind will never conquer. When you lie beneath it you feel small, you feel swallowed, you're never quite as humble as in that moment. It reminds me of God. It shouts his name.

"The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies show the work of his hands..."
Psalm 19 vs 1
