Ah I am very lucky to have grown up here. That’s amazing - do you do much editing after? They have such a lovely colour to them; they’re moody and thoughtful!

I've made a Lightroom preset for my personal photos. I dull down the saturation by a few degrees, and turn down the exposure and shadows too (:

Reading your Open-hearted Joys is always a little highlight of my week! I had my lunch break outdoors for the first time this year on Wednesday. I sat and read my book, soaking up some sunshine - bliss.

I'm so glad that they are, Soph! ❤️

That is so dreamy. My colleagues and I took many lunchtime walks together in the sunshine – I felt like a small daisy awakening for the first time all day!

Always love these posts, Michelle! Such a wonderful selection of small moments, and I’m so glad you had a fab birthday. A recent small joy of mine is enjoying my cup of tea in a newly formed sun-soaked spot in the house ☀️
