Photos by Patrick Holderness

Raleigh Parkway Folding Bike

Brighton based photographer Patrick Holderness captures friendship perfectly. Carefree, easy and fun. With the sun shining, an outdoor space and people to share time with sums up everything that makes my heart thump with happiness. I was watching on TED the other day how people who surround themselves within a community, friendship and family are guaranteed a longer, healthier and happier life. 

I have been a lousy friend over the last 12months and looking at Patrick's photos it reminds me I need to hop on a train or bike and visit those who I adore and love. Life gets so busy sometimes and sacraficing those dear to us happens so easily. Well my heart is saying Ms Talbot sort it out... If I am close to you and you're reading this post I want to say - I MISS YOU!!!

Poolside With Slim Aarons

Slim Aarons, an American photographer, is best known for his poolside photographs, in which he photographed, as he said, “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” Aarons made a career out of “knowing everyone” and being invited to parties, and photographing these fabulous people. Lucky Slim. Well as I put on my Wellies in my little 2 bedroom apartment and trudge another day in snow I will close my eyes and think of the wonderful images of Silm's. I was inspired by Everyone Is An Art Director for this post. xxx

Idea for Outdoor Entertaining

When a team of creative people get together with photographer Jessica Claire the result makes me dizzy with glee

 Thanks to glorious The Ever Dazzling for introducing

Please stand up and say BRAVO.  The winner for 2009 for being most beautiful and original table setting is this one.  I never thought I was a sucker for pastel colours... Well how wrong I was

Outdoor CInema

Guys are you losing the battle for a supersize large screen television at home? Well here's some solutions to win over your misses. Hang up a large canvas or use the side of your house, get a projector, lay out a picnic blanket, cook-up some fresh popcorn and get a couple of glasses of bubbly. Enjoy!
