Welcome back

We have a roundabout in the middle of our village (well, we call them roundabouts!)

it houses three beautiful sculptures. I’ve loved them from the first moment I saw them.

The best part of it? People put signs up … happy birthdays … welcome homes … congratulations on life’s wonderful moments.

It makes me feel so happy when I see them. I get to share for a second in other people’s happiness.

Welcome home Papa-John and Nana-A!

Love, Sonya

Cool effect on the iPhone pic. Betcha can’t do that again – Ed.

Following on from Sonya’s post about loving photos, and the thought ‘what would you save if your house was on fire?’ I found The Burning House, a website which is absolutely devoted to that very question.

The site is an invitation for anyone to post a photo and list of what possessions you’d take with you. It describes the decision as “a philosophical conflict between what’s practical, valuable and sentimental”. It really does give an insight to your personality, interests and priorities.

Not surprisingly many of the posts include photo albums, boxes of photographs, old film and framed photos. One guy even mentions he’d take his MacbookPro, but “only for the pictures”.

Take a look, it’s so interesting to see what people value. I guarantee you’ll be inspired!

Love,

Anna

Best EVER Movie. I watch Love Actually at least twice a year (or any other time I feel the need to top up my tank).

I can still feel the emotion … the prickle of anticipation at the opening scene in the Heathrow Arrivals Hall, knowing that I am about to experience something amazing. First time, I think I cried most of the way through the movie!

Here’s that scene again, for anyone who feels their tank need filling :)

Pretty cool the way it segues back to Heathrow at the end too – Ed

As a little girl I loved photographs.

My Mum had a big box of them. I’d spend ages playing with the images, stacking, sorting, studying the people and places (even the photos taken by my Nana, who always managed to cut people’s heads off when capturing the moment).

My destiny was to somehow end up working with images.

So I meet this guy called Stephen … it turns out his family business makes beautiful photograph albums …

I marry him :)

How cool is my job? Every day I get to see beautiful love stories. How can you not be a happy person when that’s the business you’re in?

Love, Sonya

Something to think about when you choose a photographer. Choose someone you really like. Choose someone who loves what they do.

Do you remember your first kiss? Be sure to read the notes. Lovely kids.

Send us your love stories!

Cheers, Sonya

This is a very cool and quirky Save the Date made by Studio Artifice in France. The idea at the end is about “Love Padlocks”, which is a relatively new trend where sweethearts affix a padlock to a fence or public fixture to symbolize their love. You lock a padlock and throw away the key. In Paris, love padlocks are usually attached to the Pont des Arts bridge but the trend has taken off all over the world.

Enjoy!
