Mini Adventures

These shots are from a lovely day we had in Leeds not so long ago. We went to a café we'd not been to before, and there just so happened to be a photographic exhibition of a music photographer's Foo Fighters prints next door so that all worked out rather well indeed!

This day, we took a little trip to Sheffield after a lunch in Leeds with friends. Nowhere in Leeds was showing To The Wonder so we popped along to the Showroom in Sheffield to catch it, whilst managing to sneak in a few cheeky pints and some vintage shopping along the way!

These are some shots from a little restaurant we visited after some friends gave us some vouchers for  Christmas. I had the most glorious pumpkin pisto to eat. Delicious!

Pottering Around

A few weekends ago we had a bit of a quiet one, just staying around Leeds and spending very little money. These are a few photos I took from then, of nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

You'd think I liked rings or something?

Joe got me a 3D cat card for Valentine's day. Mr Cat has a small card in his mouth which you can slip out; oh the joy! (I may well have stared at him in gleeful awe for around half an hour). Oh cats <3 p="">

The newly discovered (and now well loved) Outlaw's Yacht Club near the centre of Leeds.

Joe loves it when they put his beer in the right glass.

Red lighting always makes for funny shots. This is one Joe took of me.

The lovely bar.

I'm a little too fond of these shoes.

Quite often, Joe and I will have weekends like this just seeing friends and having some drinks and just generally pottering around all our favourite spots in our beloved city of Leeds.

Liverpool

A long overdue visit to Liverpool was paid last weekend to see my Dad's side of the family, who I sincerely wish that we saw more often. We had a lovely time drinking far too much wine and eating too many peanuts. 

The only time I whipped out my SLR was when we popped over to see a big old Navy boat thing. I've no idea what it was called, but hellicopters and things can land on it. And it's grey. That's all I've got! 

Me and my lovely Joe, by the water.

This is my Dad, staring rather intently at his beautiful sister (the blonde hair seen here on the left).

This is my wonderful uncle, Tim, and my lovely Grandfather in the background. Tim is just such a joy to be around!

Freddie, my brother, fellow ambassador of team Nikon.

Big building...?

CHEESE!

I shout "pose" and they both instantly go all 'catalogue' and lean on railings and things. Wonderful.

We all had such a wonderful time, and there was so much laughter. I hope it's not so long before we all see eachother again!

Diana Mini Paris

We recently got our Diana Mini film developed after our trip to Paris, and I really like how some of them have turned out. It would seem I am big on the floral/epic architecture double exposures.

The Notre Dame covered in pretty yellow flowers.

Two Eiffel Towers.

The lovely Cafe de Floré.

Overlapping shots of the Eiffel from the Arc de Triomphe with the legendary Shakespeare and Co. book shop.

Eiffel Tower in bloom.

Up the tower.

Looking through them all has made me want to go back so much. It's definitely my favourite city and ohhh what I would give to live there one day!

Paris: The First Night and Montmartre

These are some snaps I took on the first night of our trip, and in the morning of our first full day when we walked up to Montmartre. The first night we explored the area we were staying in; off Rue Montmartre in the Opera Quarter. We walked for hours just exploring and in awe of everything! There was food and wine too, of course. 

***

The next day in the morning we walked up the hills to Montmartre. The steps and the cobbled streets are so beautiful. We were so excited to go to the cafe which Amelie worked in! 

I have an obscene amount of photographs to work through of our little trip to Paris so thought I'd do it in day chunks. The afternoon (well evening really) of the first day we went through to Place de la Concorde and up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe - that post will come next!

Paris Planning

My boyfriend and I are off to Paris on Sunday after an insane, busy and brilliant August celebrating engagements, birthdays and all sorts. We can't wait to experience the city together for the first time - we've been to France together but not to Paris yet. The last time I visited the city was over 6 years ago so I'm beyond excited!

We're doing all of the obvious sights, as well as going to some geeky little film museums, book shops and spotting sights from the likes of Amelie, Before Sunrise and Midnight In Paris. We're nerding out on Hemingway too, so are hunting out his favourite spots.

These are some of the places we are most excited to go. I will be sure to take plenty of shots on our new Diana Mini camera, as well as with the Nikon, to showcase our adventures. SO EXCITED!

Bristol & Sheffield

These are a few shots from my camera of late, of which I have not been so good at remembering to take with me lately! Some of these are from our weekend in Bristol visiting family and friends (including the ludicrously cute picture of my boyfriend as a kid), and some others are from our day in Sheffield with friends last weekend. Both cities are so great! Lots of amazing cafes, bars and shops to pop into, and so many nice places to explore...
