Summer in Full Swing

Summer in Full Swing.

Since being back from holiday, we’re loving the sun on home shores (it sure has blasted away any chance of holiday blues) and life has revolved around the garden as we plant flowering baby cougettes, grow baby tomatoes, splash around in the paddling pool and take it in turns to jump on the trampoline, the latter Mr Oliver likes to hog! Summer, in this house is in full swing!

…I love my more structured work hours (and self restricted social media) leaving me much more fun time with the kids and less stress, allowing summer to slow things down a little.

Here are some portrait shots taken by my husband Peter of my precious boys enjoying the Great British sun!
