Project 365

I start it every year and fall away mid-February, so I figured if I do it here and have it as a snapshot of our daily lives (even if it’s just showing what H is playing with), then I can do it! So, Project 365 – a photo for every day of the year. I probably take a photo most days, I’m just bad at keeping on top of things.

So without further ado, here’s my photos for January 2015 so far…

1st January. Happy New Year! A lazy day. A really lazy day. Watching Mary Poppins on tv despite us owning it on DVD. We only got half way through before we had a visit from one of H’s new school friends for an hour or so. Anyway, it gave H the perfect excuse to start to read the Mary Poppins book I won on Facebook last year.

2nd January. We always go to the seaside at New Year. We decided to go on Friday this year as it was sunny and ten degrees, especially as we felt we need Vitamin D. Eastbourne it was, and we got there in time for plenty of sun, a walk on the pier and afternoon tea half way down the pier before wandering back to the car. Lovely. We drove up to Beachy Head and caught sunset at Birling Gap which was beautiful – but cold! We’re definitely going back when it’s warmer for some fossil hunting.

3rd January. Our Merlin Premium Passes came into effect as of today, so we headed to Chessington World of Adventures which is only 30 minutes down the road. It was cold, but lots of things were open – including SeaLife which is almost always a safe bet, especially when cold. With it being so close we know we can head back, and it’s so easy to get to with several routes there. In SeaWorld there are, of course, jellyfish. My favourites.

  1. Love that beach shot – just stunning. Think we will have to invest in Merlin passes in the next couple of years too #365

    1. Erica, aren’t jellyfish so pretty, especially in aquariums (lesser so when they’re all over a beach… I remember one in North Wales around 1978 which was COVERED – ew!)

    1. Thank you! I just wish this week had a sunset like that one – most of them were when we were at work or just getting back to normal life again, sigh. I miss the beach!

  3. Lovely shots – I am reading Mary Poppins too! We were rewatching the other day and spotting the similarity to the penguins dance to Olaf’s dance in Frozen – inspired!
