I can’t let magnolia season pass without sharing a few pictures… Sadly this year hoardings are in the way of taking the best local shot - with the Radcliffe Camera in the background. But there’s always next year… . . . . #p
I was ready early for work the other day so grabbed my camera (and then probably ended up leaving late as usual). Work aside, the week has been about stop motion making, being ill, and ice skating. I’m exhausted, and behind with all the bookbin
