At school I always wished for a snow day but it rarely happened, so you can imagine our excitement when we got one in Somerset, England! The kid's schools closed and our village pretty much became a winter wonderland in just a few short hours. With so many young children around who couldn't climb the big sledging slopes we created a mini version on our driveway. Considering it was a short 10m run I was pretty impressed with the amount of fun - and speed - we managed to conjure up. The photos made it look like we were at a ski resort! Sadly it disappeared within a day or two but we've still got the photographs to look back at.
Sundance to Disco Dance
Just a couple of weeks ago I was at Sundance Film Festival in Utah. There were a lot of celebrities who came though the doors but Jon Hamm from 'Mad Men' was one of my favourites. He was a superstar and as handsome as my wife says he is. I loved it there in the snow but it was also great to come home to Somerset, UK and do a pop-up studio for a Tots Disco event where kids were lined up ready to dance for the camera. Diversity is the key.
BIRTHDAY FUN
Today my daughter turned 5 and along with a party, presents and plenty of cake, she desperately wanted her cousins in Surrey to come and see her in Somerset. We made all that happen and then she thew in one more request: "Can I have a photo shoot for my birthday too?" I once again created a pop-up in our barn and the kids well and truly performed. Got a lot of editing to do now.
