Elderflowers are still in full bloom, but quickly coming to the end of their flowering season. High in vitamins A, B and C, Elderflower infusions are great for combating summer colds, (or any time, if you use the dried leaves). Herbalist Christine Haughton also recommends Elderflower for hayfever. Taken as a cordial every day it should reduce eye irritation and catarrh.

365-98 to 365-104 A Week in Pictures
Our weeks are sometimes so diverse, it’s hard to find a common theme. This is one of those weeks. From Folkstone to Norway, a bit of London, some nature and some routine, but always two constants: the people I love in the life we live.
365-91 to 365-97 A Week in Pictures
We seem to be doing a tour of the South London parks at the moment, going through them one by one. I should start reviewing them! This has also been a milestone week for us: Kyra has started on solids, and has hit the 6 month mark.
365-77 to 365-83 A Week in Pictures
We had a slightly busier week, although illness is still firmly imprinted on our household. Nonetheless, a visit to the in-laws in Somerset, a quick stop-in at a local art gallery, a trial day in cloth nappies and a product launch for shoes to make you skinny while eating cupcakes made it all pass really quckly.
365-70 to 365-76 A Week in Pictures
I seem to be saying that I’ve had a dull week quite a lot lately, yet when I look at the pictures, there always seems to be things happening in my life. Although we’ve been overwhelmed by the world’s worst case of ‘teething baby’, and fevers and stomach bugs in all three of us, we do still seem to find time and energy for the act of living.

Playing a bit of catch up here, as I’ve not had time to edit and post photos in a while!
365-27 Nature Path, Whitstable, Kent
It was freezing cold walking along the coastal path, but lovely and very fresh!
365-26 Pebbles on the Beach, Whitstable, Kent
Well, what it says on the tin, really. Pebbles from our trip to the coastal town of Whitstable, Kent.

365-19 A Walk in the Park
Nothing like the crisp fresh air to shake out those winter cobwebs!
365-14 Promises of Spring
As a baby brings the promise of a new life, so the budding leaf brings promises of spring.
