Living Arrows - 3/52 - Beach Babe

I never tire of taking photos of Amelie. She always has the most inquisitive face, pulling an variety of expressions. Maybe because out of all our children she is the only one that will stay still enough for me to quickly snap. She is also so loud you can't miss her. I love this photo its my favourite of beach skys, they way the sky changes colour half way like some glorious ombre is by far the best you can see. It was so cold but so refreshing, makes getting home and having a cup of tea much more Worthwhile. 

This year I am being more intentional about taking photos with the big camera, my husband has trusted me with the cannon, although he has said he prefers it to his new camera. The joys of having a video producer for a husband always have the kit to hand. If I knew how to use most of it we would be some double act. One of my dreams is to do more photography I am unsure where that is going and which direction. I suppose we will see this coming year. 

Days out - Herne Bay in October

The other night we promised the children we would take them swimming. They were so excited we event been for a few months and so was I. I think we were all just excited to do something together as often I have been working on a Sunday meaning we have not done much as a family lately. 

We picked the shopping up and let the babies have a sleep and before we knew it the afternoon had gone by and it was 3pm. When we got to the pool it was closing and we had to console a very upset 3 year old. We were all a bit disappointed, we all love to go swimming. I said lets take a walk into Herne Bay and look at the arcades and the little play park on the sea front. 

There is an awesome little park on the sea front with little boats and out side kitchens. Also adjacent on the beach there was an obstacle course that Asti enjoyed. He could swing and climb which was nice for him. Whilst Ami and Son Son played in the little park. It was cold though my hands were like Ice and I was looking for some shelter, doesn't really happen with two toddlers.

We then carried on our walk along the front and came across the old pier. When I last came here it was a roller skating arena that apparently we went to as children but I never remembered. They have tried to make a go of the Pier with lots of huts for independent sellars to trade. Some fun at the end with an helter skelter and a massive bouncy castle. When we went a lot were closed as it was late Sunday afternoon but would be nice to see it in its prime. 

We went from the pier to the arcades, which there is a lot on the sea front. Son Son loved the 2p pushers give him a stall and some 2p coins and he is there for ages. Ami went of with Daddy and I later found her conning him out of his money for goes on rides, Asti did his usual try to get as many tickets as possible trick. We didn't get too many I left them there for someone else in the end. 

We finished the day of with some Ice cream, which was not needed on such a cold day. I  was grateful to get back in the car. Its a shame we didn't go swimming but next time we will double check before hand. Poor Ami was so upset. I do love spending time together with my little crew they are rather fun to be around. 

Hope Flies - Short Film

One thing I love about my husband is how creative, I love that he has big dreams and its amazing to be supporting these dreams and being along on the amazing adventures with him. So one day he saw a competition on making a film about hope, he sat there and wrote a script and then got into making the film. I love seeing it from start to finish, seeing the hours spent checking things to sitting on the beach for hours as an extra.

He has made many more short films as he tries to live out his dream as a film director. We know its coming we are just waiting for that break through, his dream is to big for his father to ignore the door is going to open sometime. We live in faith. He didnt win this comeptiom but still the little film is good, I think he missed the deadline to submit it.

Here is the Blurb: A young lady down on her luck and out of hope has a chance encounter with a mysterious homeless man. Shot during one sunny evening down at St Mildreds Bay Westgate, Kent. Staring Rhiannon Lane and 4 times Bafta winner Peter Corey.

So take a look you may spot me in the back ground :)
