Well we now have a clearer view of our route out of the Covid lockdown and all being well summer should be a good one this year. On top of that the days are getting longer and the temperature is slowly rising so spirits are lifting. The phone is starting to ring and the bookings are coming in once again and I cannot wait to get photographing peoples special days and capturing those fantastic memories. We have all come so far in the past year and experienced something none of us ever expected but we are coming through it all and everything is starting to look positive once again. Keep your chins up we are nearly there.

Well, as this Covid-19 thing is still going on and we are still on a full lockdown I find myself, like many others, with plenty of spare time on my hands as there is next to no photography work due to government restrictions. I have always loved carrot cake but never done any baking so I thought now is the ideal time to give it a go and create a masterpiece.. My first attempt was going well until I tried to move it halfway through cooking and dropped it which created a massive mess all over the kitchen floor. After much swearing and the dogs assisting me with clearing it all up I had a second attempt and I must say It was really very good. Its got me into baking now so will be trying fruit scones next. Lockdown does have its positive side so try not to let it get you down and use the time to learn things you never usually have the time for. It's never to late to learn new skills and the feelgood factor of accomplishing something make it worthwhile.
