I'm posting this bunch of allotment grown cosmos from the airport before the girls and I catch our one-way flight to LA - it feels so surreal and yet totally normal at the same time. The culmination of almost a years worth of decluttering, car boot sales, sleepless nights and goodbyes. I am so ready for this adventure to begin! ❤ . . . . . . #aseasonalshift #myeverydaymagic #searchwandercollect #beautyyouseek #momentsofmine #bloomandgrow #bloomandgrowtogether #underthefloralspell #seasonspoetry

Yesterday the girls and I wandered along the river from Borough to Waterloo, saying farewell to London as we went ❤ Swipe left for a couple of cute houses (also our mode of transport for this trip, which I crowdsourced through my local network of Mums 💪 I've never used one of these @philandteds pushchairs before but they're perfect for the city). . . . . . #aseasonalshift #myeverydaymagic #searchwandercollect #beautyyouseek #momentsofmine #londonist #visitlondon #flashesofdelight #petitjoys

I want to remember these hawthorn berries, and these fields of horses. We've got one more week of catching up with friends and family before we head back to California. Next week looks rainy so I'm trying to think of the best indoor, child friendly day trips in London/Surrey. Any suggestions? . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #aseasonalshift #theartofslowliving #myeverydaymagic #searchwandercollect #upandautumn #gloomandglow #surreyblogger #surreymum

This fruit doth make my soul to thrive... . If you've been following my Insta Stories for a while you may have heard the tale of the allotment ransacking deer who used the branches of my freshly planted apple tree as dental floss, leaving me with one spindly bough remaining. . That spindly bough bore one solitary fruit - which I was sure would succumb to further deer attacks, or else perish some other way but no, against the odds I ate my first russet apple from my first apple tree today. It was delicious - sharp and sweet, the first of many, to be enjoyed by many I hope 🍎 . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #aseasonalshift #allotmentlife #theartofslowliving #myeverydaymagic #creativefolk #searchwandercollect #upandautumn #gloomandglow

I'm so looking forward to visiting the allotment next week and harvesting the squashes! In the meantime these will have to do 🎃😬 . . . . . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #theartofslowliving #nestandflourish #aquietstyle #momentsofmine #inspiremyinstagram #nestandthrive #thesimpleeveryday #slowlived #petitjoys #livemoremagic #gloomandglow #searchwandercollect #theslowdowncollective #beautyyouseek #stillwithstories #asecondofwhimsey #creativefolk #amomentofwonder #myeverydaymagic #calmversation #calm_collected #slowdownwithstills #aseasonalshift

This pinecone was nearly the size of my head when I found it lying across my path a couple of weeks ago back in California. A sure sign that Autumn (or Fall, depending on where you live) was on it's way. By the time I got round to photographing it though, it had begun to dry out and diminished in size somewhat which reminded me of my number one rule for photography - just take the photo. Dont put it off until you have more energy, or the weather is better, or think that you'll come back another time when you're wearing make-up. I'm trying to use Instagram as a place to take and share photos in something closer to real time again and I'm enjoying it so much more. Does anyone else feel a kind of shift like this?

It has been a long few days of travel but we're here in Northern Ireland! These pub flowers caught my eye while we were out exploring today - I love the abundance of early Autumn. We're slightly nomadic at the moment but if I had a kitchen table I would buy a big bunch of sunflowers for it 🌻 What's your favourite Autumn flower? . I've shared a few other snaps from today in stories ❤ . . . . . . . . . . #botanicalcreativity #bloomandgrow #bloomandgrowtogether #mynaturestory #alovefornaturesbest #botanicaldaydreams #searchwandercollect #seeingthepretty #cornersofmyworld #thestilllifecollective #liveauthentic #theartofslowliving #nestandflourish #momentsofmine #alittlebeautyeveryday #plantlady #plantlover #plantaddiction #abmplantlady #abmhome #outdoorlovers #livemoremagic #dslooking #theoutbound #facadelovers

Last week, at what the girls have lovingly named 'Rattlesnake Beach', Orla and I went off to explore the rock pools at low tide and it was one of those magical moments. Seeing her so inquisitive, adventurous and respectful of everything we saw made me so happy. And what did we see? Hermit crabs. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Next time I'll take a video so you can see them scuttling about - such adorable creatures. The island floating in the background here is Catalina Island which is definitely on my list of places to explore.
