Back Through the Lens - Week 8

Welcome back to my new series 'Back Through the Lens'. Click here to see week 1 and read all about what is going on.

The short explanation is that 2020 is my 8th year of documenting my life through photos and so I'm looking back at this exact week over the past 7 years to compare them! This is week 8.

2013 - 27th February

Northumberlandia in all her glory. I'd really like to go back soon and see how much the landscape has changed.

2014 - Week 8 February

Always a favourite place to visit, Beamish!

2015 - 20th February

I don't think I'll ever tire of photographing or just looking at views like this and pretty birds.

Most mornings after I finished work I'd have a walk along the river with my camera instead of going straight home...

where I didn't always want to be in 2015.

2016 - 22nd February

Two new additions to my Disney cabinet were my antique posable foam Mickey and Donald. 

It seems I've only had them 4 years and as much as I love them, I think I'm going to try and find them a new home now. 

2017 - 21st February

A book with a map inside is always going to be a good book.

2018 - 23rd February

Mam and I had a lovely little breakfast catch up with Marion at Lowery's on the quayside.

2019 - 22nd February

The first of a few trips to Alnwick Gardens in 2019, this time for Mr H's birthday.

2013 - 16th February

If my memory serves me right, this was taken in Ridley Park, Blyth while Baker and I were on one of our walks. 

It's a stunning Song Thrush and I wish I got to see these more!

2014 - Week 7 February 

File Missing!

This will happen periodically during this series where photos have been deleted due to personal reasons, or a photo has not been taken in the first place.

2015 - 16th February 

Aww my little pigeon pal! While walking home from town one day, I spotted a baby pigeon cowered in a door way covered in blue spray paint. 

It had obviously been done on purpose and I couldn't leave it so whipped off my coat and scooped him up. 

Luckily I still had an indoor rabbit cage and was able to make him comfy in there with some water etc until the wildlife rescue were able to collect him as 

I had no idea how to clean him. I later got word that he had recovered and been released with some other pigeons, yay!

2016 - 17th February

A trip to the National Railway Museum in York!

2017 - 15th February 

Just a poser Baker having a walk along the river.

2018 - 17th February

This was the day Mam and Dad joined me for part of my 20k hike for Born Free. 

As we passed this look out, the people inside called down to us and invited us up for a little tour!

2019 - 14th February

We'd had our tattoos a few day at this point, but the meaning of the rune is fitting for the day 

(even if we don't celebrate commercial holidays).

2013 - 11th February

Baby Nike!! This little girl sadly had a very short but very spoiled life. Her and her big brother had run of the house,
their own bedroom and were like mini dogs. 

2014 - Week 6 February

A rabbit filled week it seems. Sadly, this is the last ever photo I took of Bunny. 

2015 - 7th February

I've always revelled in photographing crazy coloured skies. This was taken from my front door.

2016 - 5th February

When I sold prints on Etsy I had orders come in from all over the world and loved putting the packages together.

I've recently re-opened the shop selling some artwork digitally - check it out here.

2017 - 9th February

One of the only things I miss about my old house is all my bird pals.

2018 - 6th February

This is something I definitely don't miss! Trudging to work in ankle-calve deep snow...brrr!

2019 - 7th February

The first photo of who were the newest members to our family! 

It's been a year since we rescued them but it feels way longer.
