We were having a really good weekend…it started on Friday as we headed down to the coast. The sun was shining so got to get outside and soak up some Vitamin D! Saturday saw a hint of a thunderstorm…of course, if we had been at home we would have had a front row seat to […]

By Sarah in App Review, Photography 2 Comments Tags: app review, Colour Splash, ipad, iphone, photo editing, photography, selective colour
I love photography and photo editing apps…I have far too many on my iphone/ipad…but this one is a little different. Colour Splash does something rather clever…in colour mode, it desaturates your photo into black and white, and then allows you to select certain areas to remain in full colour…or there is gray mode which allows […]

All cancer is bad, but ovarian cancer is particularly insidious.

By Sarah in General Tags: monthly rewind, September 2015
I have to admit, I am glad September is over…there was plenty of good things that happened, but for the last couple of weeks, I also felt the sickest I have for ages. Which meant I really struggled with publishing a post every day but I did it…another reminder to always have a few drafts […]

Printed in black and […]
