Dinner with a view

Yesterday I mentioned to hubby that I was going out to look for something to photograph for my photo a day task i've set myself, so he suggested going up the drive

The drive is a is a forest area jsut behind where we live, find out more here :)

We decided to take some lunch with us 

Pie and chips :) 

The pie was a steak and guinness pie that hubby had got from the butchers that morning after being told they had won an award for them :)

We shared it and it was lovely :)

here is the view 

Lovely winter trees and ferns :) 

Welcome to 2012

Happy New Year!!

I wanted to do a little blog piece about my plans for 2012, So here it is!

First I am planning to take part in the 365 project be taking one photograph a day

I will try and post most of them on here but I know i'll probably only end up doing a monthly round up post, so sorry in advance.

 I will post them all daily onto Instagram my name is @cariadclay so take a look :)

Another thing I always mean do do every new year is start a journal, I never do :(

but while procrastinating on pinterest (again) I cam across this blog and wonderful idea 

www.designsponge.com

Basically you just get a box or old fruit box, some postcards or 12 pictures to divide each month and some index cards for the days then write a small line on each card each day, then flip it to the back of the box and continue each year until you run out of lines :) 

in a few years it'll be a joy to read back each day as you write a new one :) 

so here is my box 

It's not so cute as an old fruit box but a lot more sturdy lol and it needs to be to survive in my house :)

it's just a plain black index box from Paperchase but i've added one of my own buttons 

Just to make it mine :)

Have a lovely year all x 

A Foggy Walk in Brecon

So we woke up to a lovely foggy Sunday morning here in Wales!

Only in Wales could a foggy morning be classed as lovely :)

We decided to take a drive up to Brecon and go for a walk with the kids! we took some lovely photo's so thought i'd share them with you

We went for a walk and found this lovely stream 

And it even had a waterfall :)

The girls enjoyed throwing stones in it!

The Fog

Rosy cheeks  :)

Another little stream or "fairy fall" as the kids named it :) 

Lastly my two beautiful girls :)
