This is my personal project and one that is very close to my heart: Photographing one whole day in my life, it began a few years ago on Monday Jan 1, 2018 when I did 1 day a week switching days each week which I did for two years and then for year three I only did them for each full moon and changed the format of them. Now I'm in my fourth year of doing this project, I began with the intention of doing them weekly but that hasn't been happening so I'm doing them whenever it feels right up until I reach Week 52 but still focusing on our weekends or when we are all together and have returned to my original way of doing them which is choosing 25 images for the day. Hope you enjoy following along!

It's the Equinox today so that means we head to Stonehenge for the sunrise. As we stepped out the front door, we were greeted by a sky full of stars and straight away you were trying to find your own constellations. We were in the car by 4AM.

We continued through the safari and when we finally arrived at the deer feeding you, Forrest, were in heaven. Honestly if you could feed them all day long you would be the happiest little boy in the world. I just love how happy it makes you and this time you even tried to feed them just a couple of bits at a time so that it would last longer. You were also loving it when they would put your whole hand into their mouth which caused the absolute best squeals of joy.

And daddy found our first sea lily (this was pretty incredible because just earlier I had said that i really wanted to find one!). The rest of the day was spent with our heads down searching for treasure, going for swims, relaxing and taking in the views.

Then we made made it back to the tent. For some reason you, Nixie were in a mood where you needed to argue with Forrest or any of us over anything. So today me and daddy are trying our best to diffuse everything. I think also everyone is a bit tired from camping itself, it's our 8th day.

I woke up all cosy to the sound of rain hitting our tent. If you ask me it's probably one of my favourite sounds. I checked the time and it was almost 8, I had the best sleep and shortly after my eyes were open, you, Forrest, started to stir too. Nixie and daddy were still sound asleep.

We all had a lovely time out on the water. As usual Forrest, you were with me and Nixie you went with daddy. I really love this new hobby of ours, it really was such a great investment. I really love experiencing the water in this way and I love seeing the two of you really loving it too.

This is now one of my new favourite places. The pool is just magical. We had the best afternoon swimming in the sea which felt so incredibly refreshing. Nixie, you did amazing with your swimming and it looks like it’s really starting to click for you, you looked so so happy and were in your element.

We ended up having such a great day at the beach even if the tides weren’t in our favour. I knew they weren’t but really wanted to go anyway as I had just been missing it so much! It was also a bit crowded but that’s to be expected on one of the first warm sunny Saturdays we’ve had in a while!

Then you, Nixie told us you weren't feeling well and had a sore throat and tummy ache. I made you a honey lemon tea and then ended up giving you some Calpol which I haven't had to do in a long time. All you wanted to do was snuggle.

A gorgeous day of bike riding and fossil hunting at a spot I've been wanting to go to for months and months: Tidmoor Point.
Post 42 Project 4
What an incredible day we had! A morning of bike riding then an afternoon of shark teeth hunting and an evening of sunsets, moon rises and pizza!

Nixie you really made me and daddy laugh when daddy had told you to be aware that some of the ice might not be strong enough to hold you and it may be deep water underneath and you immediately dropped to your belly and said to us "I'm spreading myself wide so the ice doesn't break, just like I learned from Bear Grylls, he had to cross a lake once and had to do the same." We were super impressed that you remembered that! We spent ages at this little spot of ice. I was beginning to get really cold but the two of you seemed to be nowhere near ready to move on even though at this point both of you had soaking wet feet.
