I did it!

On a very breezy and chilly Boxing Day morning, I donned my gingham pinafore and ruby slippers, and took part in the Dip and Nip at Waldringfield in aid of CLIC Sargent.

The water was estimated to be around 8 degrees Celcius.

The video of this madness is now on Youtube, with commentary from my daughter!

Boxing Day madness

At 11 am this Friday, I shall be hurling myself into the River Deben at Waldringfield, dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I know that's not really normal behaviour, but it's the Boxing Day Dip and Nip in aid of CLIC Sargent, a charity which supports children and young people with cancer, and their families.

I have a fundraising page set up and I would be very grateful if you would consider making a donation.

Spectators are most welcome and I will post photos after the event.

Thanks folks and have a great Christmas!

Gosh, the last time I updated this blog was September 11th and we're now just a week away from Christmas. How very remiss of me! In my defense, your honour, I have in fact been very busy. Which is nice.

Over the past few months I have been photographing toddlers for Bounty (the baby pack people rather than the chocolate bar), several babies, including beautiful twins, students and horses at the Open College of Equine Studies,  some lifestyle portrait sessions, and babies and their mums in fancy dress at the Lazy Daisy Christmas parties. I've also been seeing some lovely couples to discuss the photography for their forthcoming weddings. It's been very hectic, but great fun.

Over the Christmas break I am hoping to add some of the images from the autumn to the blog, so watch this space!
