HI, I'm new here!

Hi!
 I guess I should introduce myself. I'm lucy and as far as I can remember, I've ALWAYS been a memory capturer. I'm a writer and a photographer. I have this innate need to ensure I have seen things and have a record of them so I don't forget. 
I adore Nature in all forms (well except snakes & wasps) and I enjoy being in nature, capturing what I see. This is probably why I mostly do landscape photography. I enjoy taking photos of my family too. This comprises of my rockstar husband - M, my cheeky boys - E & L , my cute cat - Charlie & my beautiful betta called Blake. 
This is not my first foray into the world of blogging, I used to run a lifestyle blog for 6 years previously. I really enjoyed having my little space in the huge World Wide Web. However, the more commercially successful it became the less I enjoyed it. 
I decided to wrap up after we made our change to island living.
Now I've decided not to ignore that writing itch, I also know that this time must be different.
I'm older now & I guess a fresh page is needed. 
What can you expect from my blog? 
My ramblings of anything & everything that I've been mauling in my head.
Usually it's to do with my family, friends, parenting, marriage, books, music, art, planners (yes you read that right), crafty experiments, politics & fitness. 
I hope that you enjoy not just my blog but the images I capture on my portfolio. If you were interested in other images that don't make it on here, then please do follow me on instagram: @lucytakesfotos . 
See you around,
Lucy

Travel : Brussels (Plannercon Europe 2019)

It's been a while since I did a Travel post on here! It's been a Month since I went to Brussels, hard to believe it really. A lot has happened since then! I bought my earlybird ticket last year, I knew i wanted this adventure to look forward to. I really enjoy travelling as you guys know but I'm finding that I enjoy Solo travel too. Having  RA has meant that I have become cautious and my adventurous spirit has been restless. I have learnt not to count myself out too eagerly. My mobility and stamina might be compromised somewhat but I should still be able to taste life.  Although Plannercon itself was exciting, I loved exploring the home of my favourite detective Hercule Poirot. My favourite bit of the weekend was making new friends.  I took the Eurostar and chose the Standard ticket ( no accessibility perks) the first thing I noticed was how far back the chair was. I used my Jacket to create some lumbar support and it was fine. 2 hours later, I was in Bruss

IRL: Crafty Catch Up 2017

Well what can I say? My first ever planner meet up was all I thought it would be! I had an absolute ball. I had wanted to come to the last one but being an islander meant it was just too far for me to consider however things changed when this date was announced. 22nd July was only a few days away from our wedding anniversary. We'd planned to spend it at Disneyland Paris so it made perfect sense to do the crafty catch up on the Saturday, and then continue on to France the following day. Serendipity. What I didn't account for was the mania that it would entail. Kids breaking off for summer Friday afternoon, finishing packing, cleaning the house etc , getting the 7am ferry, driving to Kent, etc on the Saturday. As I arrived, I saw the beautifully laid out Lydd Community Hall. In the hallway was the table plan, I was on table 3... I met great people! I was reminded that all kinds of people love crafts, I was inspired by their creativity Specifically the mummy/daugh

False Alarms, Friends & Fridays

This week has been an intense one. After the shock of receiving my surgery date quite mundanely on the Thursday before Mr B left for his work trip, I quickly reverted to my trusty coping mechanism - PLANNING. I rallied friends to help me pick the boys up from school, one to take them to school on the surgery date, my sister to be home as a contingency & Taxis to drive me about for the week. I agonised over asking friends to pitch in, I’m someone who grew up having to sort her shit out by herself so relying on others doesn’t come naturally, I lamented to geographically distant friends about my conundrum, my fear of appearing to take liberties but they rightly assured me that I should ask. I’m so glad I did because the response was amazing and a MASSIVE weight off my shoulders. I felt so loved. The actual date came, Tuesday. Everything ran with Miltary precision. The taxi was on time, We dropped the boys en route to the hospital and I was at the reception desk with 5 mins to
