Back Through the Lens - Week 4

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 4.

2013 - 27th January
You'd never know that this was on a normal row of houses, just along the street from mine when I lived it Blyth.
It had had a fire and apparently just been boarded up and left since.

2014 - Week 4 January
Milkshakes at Stateside with Mam turned into a mini-tradition when I lived in Newcastle and she'd come to visit me. 

2015 - 24th January
In last weeks post my 2018 photo was from Mam and I's trip to see Robin Hood!
This photo is from the last time Nana came with us and we took her in her wheelchair.

2016 - 22nd January

Nana couldn't go to the pantos anymore despite being a lifelong member/helper of the SVG, so we got seats upstairs for the first time! 

Mam wasn't a fan of the ever so slight height though ha!

2017 - 26th January
The amount of bird photos, especially mallard ones, that I took in my time of lived down the West End in Berwick is silly.
I loved my little birdy pals and I love how you can see the two male's heads under the water!

2018 - 27th January
Putting together and shipping out one of our charity parcels.
Mam and I liked to send a box of goodies to different causes over the years and this year it was art supplies for a woman's centre in Manchester.

2019 - 22nd January
Poor little Baker really went through it from May 2018 and especially at the start of 2019 when I was living between two places. He looks so fed up here. 

Back Through the Lens - Week 3

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 3.

2013 - 17th January

This was actually taken at a tiny lake behind a sort of business/industrial estate type of thing while I was on a lunch break from a course. 

2014 - Week 3 January

One of only very few trips to this beach because of Baker's anxiety. 

Cold, foggy days keep most people away though so we were able to have fun. That isn't even his ball either.

2015 - 20th January

I miss the Disney Movie Rewards scheme! 

I earned so many free DVDs and loved seeing this sight at my front door.

2016 - 21st January

It was so cold that even the seaweed got covered in frost!

2017 - 16th January

Nothing beats the classics.

2018 - 17th January

Mam and I went to see Robin Hood in Panto at the Maltings.
It seems we missed going in 2017 and 2018 would be our last visit.

2019 - 18th January

Another event, although this time pretty different! 

I'd been to Circus of Horrors before but it was Mr H's first time and it was brilliant.

Back Through the Lens - Week 2

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 2.

2013 - 13th January 

A tiny baby Baker on Scarborough beach! He was only around 5 months old here and was so excited to have a gigantic beach to himself.

2014 - Week 2

A close up of a very frost leaf at the park on Baker's walk.

2015 - 13th January

The theme of this post so far seems to be Baker's walks as this is another shot from play time. 

However this time we were living in Berwick as opposed to Fawdon in the previous shot.

2016 - 9th January

Off to the cinema at Newcastle with my Mam to see The Good Dinosaur!

2017 - 8th January

Another year another animal adoption! This year we chose to adopt the Hyena family with Born Free. Did you see what we adopted in the previous post?

2018 - 12th January

Those beautiful river Tweed views on my daily, early morning walk to work. 

2019 - 13th January

The 4th shot from this weeks post that just so happened to be on the 13th. This is obviously a hospital waiting room, from one of far too many visits with Dad lately.

Back Through The Lens - Week 1

Yay new series! As I mentioned in my previous post, 2019 in Review, I'm bringing a series I had started on my old main blog (Underland to Wonderland) to this blog. I've missed writing actual text due to this blog mainly just being images, so I aim to bring a 'Back Through the Lens' posts to this space weekly.
Over the past 7+ years I have attempted to document my life through images with something called Project 365. Starting in 2013 up until present day (minus 2014 when I decided to try project 52 - 1 photo per week) I tried it and pretty much failed to complete a full year, with missing days and in 2018 stopping half way through the year because of big life changes. However! Last year I changed the 'rules' I'd set myself and ended up not only completing all 365 days but a lot of days having multiple photos!
I do this project so I can look back and see where I have explored, who I have spent my time with and what I've gotten up to, so with Back Through the Lens we're going to visit a moment from each week of the past 7 years.
Starting with Week 1...

2013 - 3rd January

A beautiful young Roe deer buck in the Gosforth Park Nature Reserve during a photography walk with my collage friend Sophie.

2014 - Week 1 January

Awful wallpaper, awful mantle piece while living in home #3 at Fawdon, but brightening it up with Disney.

2015 - 2nd January

Visiting my beautiful Nana at her house. We lost her in 2019 so this photo is extra special.

2016 - 1st January

My view while walking to work in the early mornings was always beautiful, but the first day of 2016 gave us an extra pretty sunrise.

2017 - 4th January 

Getting Brook and Tilly roped into a mini garden photoshoot. 

These are the puppers of Marion, one of my Mam's ex colleagues, and I used to go play with them in the middle of the day while their family was out at work. 

2018 - 5th January

Baker and I's adoption packages for the year arrived! I adopted a Pangolin and Baker adopted a Polar Bear. 

I also bought a couple extra goodies from the Born Free online store...

2019 - 1st January

Mr H and I went to a lake to take some photos and spend some time together, before I headed back up to Berwick for work. 

I love all animals and birds but Muscovy Ducks have a soft spot in my heart.
