30 Photos | Day 11: Tradition

Olivia picking strawberries | Prestwood | 21.07.2015 |

I know most traditions find their roots in years of family history, and though my family share the same traditions as many, like putting up the Christmas tree together and having brunch on birthdays, this year is going to be slightly different due to my big sister being in France for a ski season, so I thought I'd share a newer tradition.

This one may be unseasonal, but one of my favourite new traditions over the past few summers has been strawberry picking with  my best friend Olivia. Here she is finding the best of the harvest at Peterley Manor Farm near her house in Prestwood.

May the strawberries never stop growing and the cream never stop flowing!

Mum's Roses | Amersham | 03.09.2015 |

There is nothing more beautiful to my eye than the swirl in the centre of a blooming rose. I'm not talking about the sentiment of a red rose on valentines day, or a white rose at a wedding, I love them all, the colours, the shapes, the textures and the variety.

These particular roses fill me with warmth just to look at, yellows, reds and orange that bring the colours of the trees outside onto our dining table in a variety of shapes and sizes

Give me roses and there isn't a day where I won't smile at the sight of them.
