I was on the phone to Deb from FabulousPlaces.co.uk the other day, confirming details of the props we needed for a photo shoot at Amanda Hamilton’s lovely cottage in Duffield.

I was asked to tag along on with the school kids yesterday to our local woods. We set off first thing and it looked like we had lucked out with a sunny morning.
