Celebration ....

For those of you stopping by to see who won last week's giveaway, I have not forgotten, just delayed a day or so, sorry.  You see, on Thursday John and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. Spontaneously, that's how we roll, we packed our bags and headed off to London ....

Ahhh, the open road, M4 motorway bound for London

I recently added Instagram to my technology repertoire. The images are not great quality but you do have the ability to apply several different finishes to your photographs.  I tend to lean towards the old vintage style which gives the impression that I am carrying an old bellows camera, arguing with a roll of 35mm film and finding a dark place to load and unload. Not with Instagram, at the click of a button you can visually travel back in time ....

Are we there yet?  I have had my hair cut really, really short!

The best things about it are it's instantaneous nature and the ability to take a photo on your mobile, edit and upload immediately. It can capture the moment, file the image and share with friends and family at the click of a button. An on line library of the good times ....

Out for afternoon coffee with our dear friend, Pauline

And out for dinner with family

Good company, wine and candlelight. It doesn't get any better!

Apart, maybe, when looking at the view from our hotel room ....

We can be plane spotting geeks as we face the runway at Heathrow and this morning they were landing directly in front of us!

We are back in business on Tuesday so I will organise Sookie and that peanut butter giveaway incentive then.

Thanks for sharing my week on Instagram. Enjoy!
