    A Sunday Walk And A Gorgeous Tree

    10th April 2016

    Sunday Walks And Gorgeous Tree's

    It’s amazing; I must have walked past this gorgeous tree dozens and dozens of times since I was 15, yet I have never properly noticed it. Never opened my eyes and seen its beauty.

    Yet Sunday when Joe and I were on our pre football match quest for ice cream I saw it. Yes, I have seen it before, but not properly and wow how can I have passed by so many times.

    Almost like it has risen up out of the ground, many of the roots have grown above ground level. Maybe this is the effect of years of land erosion caused by being perched so high up on a hill-side.

    Or maybe that’s just how this majestic tree grew, a little different, stands proud despite being so different from all the other trees around it, unique and beautiful.

    Who knows how it ended this way?  But it just makes you want to stand and admire it, inspect the roots as they twist and turn, and marvel at its beauty. It almost looks as if it could just stand up and walk away. Sometimes it’s amazing what you can see when you just open your eyes isn’t it?

      What a beautiful tree – I could stand for ages just looking at the little nooks and crannies created by the roots and that beautiful carpet of moss growing around them.

      It doesn’t look like it should be standing upright with all that root above ground. A tree with quite a history it is holding as it’s secret.

      What a fabulous tree! The moss is very pretty. It looks as though it’s supporting it’s own little micro eco-system.

      Hi Sarah, I love photographing ‘naked’ old trees as they are so interesting. Can you imagine what that tree has seen over the year? Never mind dogs, just imagine what old trees could tell us.

      I don’t know what is more fantastic, the tree or the fact you’ve lived in the same place since 15. Must be so nice to be familiar/comfortable with a place.

      It really is stunning Sarah. I love things like that, and as a matter of fact I have two ‘tree’ pictures from a recent walk that we went on too. One tree was just huge in comparison to the others around it, and the other, was two trees intertwined with each other. Don’t think I’ve captured it like you’ve managed to though! Fab shots.

    • It’s that time of year again when we need to get those summer legs ready. And if you choose the smooth  option then there are so many hair removal methods available on the market. For me I find a long and short term solution necessary. Epilating slows down and thins hair growth whilst having a razor to take on my travels keeps my legs smooth in between epilating. Add to that a great exfoliator and moisturiser and woohooo I am summer ready. I used to make so many mistakes when I was younger but now I know Its all in the preparation and quality hair removal products.  Bring on the holidays 🚢🍍☀️🛫💕🏖 #BraunBeauty #ad #BeautifullySmooth @gillettevenus
    • Today is going to be a day of packing and preparation as tomorrow I set off to Southampton to fly to Germany to check out @norwegiancruiseline newest ship the Norwegian Bliss which looks incredible for families. Excited is an understatement. Keep an eye on @cruisingkidsuk stories to get a peek at the 🚢

    • If you have been to Florence you will know the street art is pretty spectacular. Today I will be sharing some of my favourite pieces over on the blog. And if you do visit Florence make sure you put aside some time to hunt it all down. Trust me it’s worth the time. The perfect port day activity.
    • Woohoo there are signs of spring in the air at last and my holidays are fast approaching. This week I have completed our online cruise check-in so exciting . I have also been organising my summer lingerie. Lovely bright whites and nudes to go under my summer dresses. I did go to a store to try some on but realised once you have worn @fantasie_lingerie and @wacoaleurope there is no going back, nothing else is good enough. Or fits so well ! But you know what there is so much choice that I could never tire of buying pretty lingerie💗 #ad
    • Yesterday we spent the evening in Liverpool watching Disney On Ice with wonderful friends.it’s been a few years since our last Disney On Ice trip and it was every bit as magical. As was the lovely evening we spent enjoying dinner and a wander in Liverpool 💗
    • The first time I clapped eyes on the river Arno in Florence it blew me away. And that is what I love about exploringa new city. Beautiful sights like this. It is rumoured that when Michelangelo carved David he was intended to be placed high on the hill! Thank goodness they kept him in in the city💗
