A Rainy Adventure

-

Today was my birthday so we decided to visit the nature reserve again for a longer walk. We arrived, two minutes later it started pouring with rain, then hail. So armed with two very large umbrellas, we set off for a three hour walk. Here's the highlights of the day..

We had a lovely time, and, if anything, the rain made it even more fun.  The perfect way to spend my birthday!

    Happy Birthday! What a lovely way to spend the day. I am so glad to find your blog as my family has just started on our raw food journey. Your story is very inspiring, I would love to read a post about the raw foods you eat, the cooked or non raw foods you eat, what you avoid completely and what would make up a typical days meals and snacks for your family. Thank you for sharing so much inspiration already x

    Thank you so much Gina, that's lovely. Would you believe i've actually been following your blog for about a year, after finding it through the GP forum. It's very inspiring. I've been busy making plans about what to put on here, as there's so many things I want to share. I'll make a start on a typical menu plan and post that this week along with some other ideas. I'm also thinking of adding a recipe section with my favourite raw food and juice/smoothie recipes. Thanks again! xx

Beauty In The Lakes & Eating Raw In London

It's been a while since I posted an update as life has been so busy with lots of exciting things happening. At the end of September we spent 3 days in the Lake District for our friends wedding. It was a beautiful place and we had a really lovely time.  We stayed in a gorgeous little house which was part of a B&B in a little village near Ullswater.  On the first morning, the boys went outside to explore and found a deer in the field next to us. They spent ages watching it, whilst Luke also made friends with the B&B owners cat. Dylan managed to get a few photos which look amazing. He was so happy. The wedding was beautiful and the boys looked very handsome. We had a lovely time, ate lovely food, took a book ride around the Ullswater and met some lovely people. The evening ended with a lot of dancing which Luke particularly enjoyed. And of course, as I was surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees and lakes, I had to sneak ...

My Photography Project

I've had a week off work this week and time for a much needed rest. There's been so many amazing things happening this year and i'm feeling so grateful for everything. The only down side to this is that I don't always get the chance to follow my creative passions as much as i'd like. So this week has given me the chance to reconnect with my love of photography and i've decided it's time for a new creative project.  So many things have inspired me to do this. I've been reading some of my favourite photography books and a few days ago I watched one of my favourite films Yes Man. In this film Zooey Deschanels character goes out for a run at 6am every morning with a group of people and her camera, taking photos and getting exercise. I love this idea and i'm planning to create my own version of this. I want to spend more time outdoors with my camera. I have some good opportunities to take some lovely photos over the next few weeks with trip...

Creating My Raw Food Kitchen

Yesterday, I received a parcel with my new dehydrator and spiralizer, as well as soon other raw kitchen supplies. I've been wanting a dehydrator for well over a year, and finally decided that now is the right time.  I was very excited to say the least.  I went for a Stockli, which i've heard is really good, so i'm looking forwards to lots of creative time in the kitchen over the next few weeks. Today, Luke and I tried out the spiralizer, which was a bit more complicated than we expected, but we did get the hang of it eventually.  We made carrot and courgette spaghetti, and had that with salad, apple, cashew nuts and olives.  Tomorrow i'm hoping to make some raw crackers or kale chips  I'm looking forwards to experimenting and coming up with some new recipes. I've also been enjoying lots of juices, and this one was delicious - Orange, Carrot and Ginger. It's lovely first thing on a morning as it helps you to feel really ene...
