Easing back to blogging

Hi everyone.

It feels like it has been a very long time since I was here last. I can't even remember what the last thing I posted about was. I haven't looked at this blog for over a month I think. I've thought about it, but I just haven't had the energy for anything.

August was super-stressful and busy, and it looks like September is going to be the same. Hopefully October will be better.

So, I'm easing back into blogging with a short post, just a few photos from my weekend. Nothing crafty I'm afraid, as that takes more time and thought than I have at the moment.

Some of you may find this a bit of a weird subject for photography. S and I went for a wander through Borough Market yesterday, and I thought it would be a chance to practice my photography.

I love looking at the food stalls and the old signage at Borough. I never buy much, but I like to take snaps. I hope it doesn't annoy the stallholders too much!

I find the fish stalls particularly fascinating, with their rows and rows of geaming scales and glassy stares - apologies to any vegetarians reading this!

The cakes and bread are great fun to look at too!

I've just ended up wishing I was a better photographer though!

Do you ever feel like life is trying to fight with you, putting so much pressure on you to try and get you to give up doing things you love? I've felt like that the last six weeks. But I'm determined not to give up. I won't give up this blog, I won't give up crafting or any of the other things I like doing in my spare time.

Sorry about the slightly weird post this time around. I need to get my equilibrium back, but it's proving to be difficult. I read a magazine article over the weekend about trying to live a more simple life, de-cluttering, having a less materialistic approach to life. I think I need a dose of that. Not so much in the way of de-cluttering (I did a lot of that last year, pre-move) or being less materialistic (can't afford to be these days anyway!), but I think there's something I need to do in terms of slowing myself down, and taking things a step at a time. Not stressing about the stuff I can't control. I never seem to learn this, it's a problem that I seem to come back to over and over, like I just keep going in circles.

Oh well, must keep trying.


I will be back again soon I hope!

Borough Market

If you're ever in the London Bridge area on a Saturday, I recommend stopping by Borough Market. Even if you're not buying anything, it's a really great place to look around. S and I had a mosey there on Saturday. There is so much colour and amazing looking produce - I really wish I was more inclined to cook!

 

We saw lots of yummy looking chocolates and cakes:

 

 

Purple and yellow cauliflowers - one of my favourite colour combinations!:

 

 

Loads of varieties of wild mushroom:

 

 

Lots of glossy purple aubergines - very autumnal colours

 

 

and garlic! I love the colour on this garlic actually - purple white and pale green - it looks so delicate.

 

 

We also poked our heads in at Southwark Cathedral:

 

 

Phew, I think that's enough - I actually took waaay more pictures than this, but I can't share them all - I get a bit snap happy sometimes!

 

Hope you're having a good week so far - see you again soon.
