I'm joining in with Andrea and Xanthe and their color//colour lovers project - a seven week exploration of summer colour. Last week was red... next up is yellow!

Collections...

Our collected treasures from the last month... feathers, heart shaped stones, skeleton leaves, sea glass (including a blue piece - woohoo!) a piece of washed up circuit board, driftwood, seedpods, Archie's moon rock and dinosaur fossil, some Lego and an egg shell.

Each month I'm photographing our collections of bits and bobs that we accumulate on our adventures out and about, a way to remember and record all the little treasures we find.

You can see my first post here and more collections on my Pinterest board here!

Please feel free to join in any time if you'd like to share your collections too. I've made a coded grab button over at the bottom of my side bar if you'd like one  - hopefully it should work ok!

Hope your all having a good week! xx

The Shard...

Earlier this week, I went to London with my sister to see the view from The Shard. I'd been wanting to go for a while and so we finally booked a date to actually go. Luckily the rain had stopped by the time we went up and the view was pretty amazing - we could see much further than I had imagined! (apparently the view stretches to 40 miles on a clear day)

It felt particularly high after climbing the stairs to the open-air floor on level 72 - there is no glass in parts so you get a real sense of being open to the elements. I'd love to go back at night time or in the early evening, I'm sure the view must be beautiful all lit up!
