Welcome to another month of the 30 Minutes in the Life blog circle!

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Cardiff to watch London Welsh rugby club play Cardiff. We decided to make a weekend of it, by staying overnight and heading to Cardiff Castle the following morning.

30 Minutes in the Life – March 2019 | Relief

ceri-herd-photography-hampshire-photographer-01

Four months back living in the UK and four months feeling disconnected from my camera.

You could say I’ve been in a photographic rut. Life took over and I couldn’t make it stop. It’s hardly surprising, I suppose, that when life feels unsettled your focus shifts to finding stability, and the ups and downs of being creative certainly don’t go hand-in-hand that!

But just like the change in seasons, life is turning a corner and soon we’re going to start the next chapter. I am forcing myself to pick up my camera, forcing myself to edit and forcing myself to share. I want to document our lives when the tide changes and I need to be back up to speed when it does.

And so, this weekend I forced the family to take a trip to the beach. My excuse was a new gadget – a neutral density filter – to test, but my reason was to stretch my creative wings. It was such a relief to feel connected again.

30 Minutes in the Life | January 2019 – Play Time

“Thirty Minutes in the Life” features ladies from around the world as we capture 30 minutes in our lives as mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends {and photographers}.  This is a blog circle so please be sure to visit the next photographer in the circle.

With days seemingly colder and darker than all of 2018 and constantly feeling the chill, we haven’t felt much like getting out and about these past few weeks. We did, however, manage a quick half an hour at the boys’s favourite playground just before school was back in session. I say “favourite” but I think in reality it is the only one they know in this corner of the world. We clearly need to explore more! I hope they don’t grow out of these playground trips too soon. I will just have to treasure each and every one until they do. My favourite Lensbaby, the Edge 80, made the perfect accompaniment for our play time and my own feeling of nostalgia.
