While I'm not sad to say goodbye to the long, dark days of January I will miss the snug, cosy feeling which abounded here.
January was a month full of the promise of snow which sadly never delivered for us. Instead we had bone chilling temperatures and lots of grey sleet.
Despite the weather we have had a lovely month full of family, friends, good food and fun. And yesterday afternoon the weather mellowed a little, bringing warmer temperatures, blue skies and the glimmer of spring.
So I grabbed my camera and spent a happy half hour mooching around the garden finding some evidence of nature.
After reading Caroline's post earlier this month I have decided to join her in creating a moodboard for each month this year. I'm looking forward to seeing the differences with the change of the seasons.
I think they might make a pretty calender for next year.
Those moodboards are so lovely and you are right about making them into a calendar, fantastic idea! I'm liking your January collection very much. x
ReplyDeleteThey'll make a beautiful calendar - looks great!x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and lovely photo. I doubt I'd find anything to photograph in my garden apart from weeds, soggy clay and the occasional rabbit dropping but I suppose it could be the alternative calendar for next year...hmmm..I might just do that! Thanks for your lovely comment over on Suzie's 'The View From Here'. xx
