Cowes Week - The Finale


After Emma and Will left, I did get a little lazy with my photography. Ultimately the week was becoming a little repetitive anyway... Boats, Booze, Boats, Booze... you get the picture. 
On the final night Finn's brother, his girlfriend and her family came to stay, and just in time for the last night celebrations. 
We all headed down to the seafront with a massive picnic and managed to find ourselves a big enough spot on the green. 
Just as we began to get stuck in, over head come the Red Arrows to do their thing. I had never seen them in person before so was all the more impressed!
It was fantastic, and such a beautiful back drop with the water and the boats underneath them.
We continued with our picnic and had some pudding and more wine enjoying the sunset.

As soon as it went dark the fireworks began...

Definitely one of the best displays I have ever seen... There is something about it been over the water that just makes it look so much more spectacular...

Of course the night again continued on into the wee hours, but Cowes Week certainly went out with a bang!!

Happy Birthday Georgie

A few weeks ago now, summer decided to grace us with her presence, the clouds cleared and the sun shone through, and timing couldn't have been more perfect as it was my best friends twenty first Birthday!! In order to celebrate we didn't waste anytime stripping down and jumping in the pool. After hours of swimming races and volleyball it was time to de-prune with an afternoon of food, drink and ball games on the lawn. Old and new friends combined with family old and young adding to the beauty of twenty first birthdays.

I acted as photographer for the day, so here are a few of the hundreds of photos I took on this beautiful summers day.














The beautiful birthday girl and her Sisters.



Then the drinking / spinning portion of the afternoon began...










It definitely provided amusement for us, however no one else volunteered to participate.




French Cricket...
















Gymnastics anyone? What is it about the sunshine that makes everyone so energetic...







There are not enough words to say how much this girl means to me... Happy Birthday to my gorgeous bestie!!
