As some of you may know, I enrolled myself on the Photography 101 course as my skills are seriously lacking! I do try and take some photos to accompany my posts but they are a bit hit and miss.
The very first thing we have been asked to do is to take a photo of ‘home’ and whatever that means to us. No fancy editing here, just a good old plain photo.
Home to me is my front room. We have quite a small house so it really is the room where I spend most of my time. Home, of course, is also where my family are. Mr Grump and Roxy snuggled up together is a very common sight. Miss Hap is normally up in her room blasting out Justin Bieber songs or something, but I ‘encouraged’ (bribed) her to be in the photo.
As you can see, she is lolling all over the settee with her phone clamped tightly in her sweaty little mitts! Oh, and the daffies you can see in the photo were an extra Mother’s day prezzie (I got a lovely teddy and also a cushion), she had picked for me ‘from the roadside’ (I am hoping not to get a bang on the door from an irate neighbour whose garden has been pillaged!)!
Comfy and inviting… your photo gives me these feelings AND the subject matter does as well. 🙂

So cute how you write about your home and family. When I look at your daughter that looks so familiar. When all my kids were in the living room at times and the TV was turned on they would all be busy with their phones!😃 I am basically the same… lol

I agree. I have orange curtains and chair cushions in my dining room. I am going to get a couple of small chairs for my living room and I hope to get them in a rust or orange color. Love it! ❤

Wee have a couple of small lamps with orange bulbs we use in the evening, that gives it even more of a cosy glow! Those chairs sound lovely 🙂

I say lolling about and no one here has any idea what I’m goin on about. But I don’t say daffies, how cute is that? Daffies. I may plant daffies this fall just so I can go about saying daffies next spring! And you can bet they’ll be yellow and white with yellow 🙂

Yes you must plant some daffies, Joey. It is a wonderful word. I’m trying to remember now who said it, but have you heard ‘daffydowndilly’ before? Another great word but a bit too long-winded! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
