Colourful Birmingham wedding with energy and heart This wedding was particularly special to me.  Being neurodiverse often presents challenges.  But bride Lauren is a living example of turning it into a super power and she sends out a strong message to just be yourself, no matter what.  She is wild, courageous and I LOVE her!  This wedding was a visual treat; a non stop kaleidoscope of animated people, FUN times, and with no shortage of heart too.  I could go on but I won’t.  There’s so much more to talk about re: this wedding, and Lauren is the perfect person to b ..read more

This year I wanted to spend Christmas with my parents. After a couple of very dull Christmases at home during the pandemic, I wanted to do something a little bit different. My parents live part time in a motorhome and have spent the last couple of winters down on the Algarve coast, and that’s where they were this year too. They stay on a campsite in Albufeira, not too far from Faro and I booked myself an apartment close by. It had a lovely balcony with an incredible view of the ocean and the old town in Albufeira. Getting back out there It’s been a long time since I’ve felt like going on a ph ..read more
