Autumn has arrived

Hi everyone! At the weekend I went with my mum to our local country house and gardens, i've been going here since I was little and it's one of my favourite places, it's just so beautiful. Although the pictures might not seem overly autumnal because the leaves haven't started turning golden yet, you can definitely feel autumn in the air. It's getting colder which means I can wear jumpers and knitted tights without people giving me funny looks (yes I still wear jumpers in summer).  

Also it's coming up to that time of the year when I need to start writing my personal statement and choosing what course(s) I want to study for university and I'm finding it really difficult. I think many of you guys will be in the same position as me, well I hope I'm not the only one who's really confused. I've always loved photography, art, reading and writing but I always tried to push that aside and focus on the more 'academic' subjects because that's what we were told at school would get us jobs in the future, so I convinced myself that I wanted to study geography at University. But...I think i've changed my mind and decided to go with my heart and are now looking into studying photography with english or design. Have you studied these subjects and what do you think of them? I'm just worried that my photography won't be good enough aah!

Craft Fair

I helped my mum run her flower stall at a local craft fair today. She grew all of these flowers herself and collected all these old bottles and vases to make these cute arrangements. We were going for an vintage and English country garden feel which I love. After lots of hard work and endless amounts of time growing and arranging them, the final result was definitely worth it!

Pastel Pink

This little guy came to say hello!

These are some of the pictures I took yesterday. We went to a National Trust property which had a beautiful garden and a farm (as you can see from the picture of the pig which came to say hello) then we explored the local town which was painted in pastels. I stopped off at one of the local newsagents and bought myself some love hearts, they're my favourite! I have lots of new pictures to post soon, so stay tuned! Also I just discovered that i'd been using my 50mm lens wrong oops. I bought it last year and had only been using an f/3.0 instead of f/1.4! So I tested it out on these pictures and I think you can really tell the difference with the soft focus yay :)
