A few obligatory snow pictures taken on my new DSLR

1) It was my 22nd birthday on Tuesday 15th. I spent the day shopping in Bluewater trying to spend some Christmas and birthday money that was burning a hole in my pocket. I ended up buying hardly anything, as nothing in stores really enticed me. I find it hard to buy during this current season transition where the weather is still cold, but the spring/summer things are coming into stores. My parents kindly bought me a DSLR for my birthday, which I am so excited about. The instruction manual is my current bedtime reading, as I want to learn how to shoot in manual mode rather than auto mode, as I only ever used my old DSLR in auto due to being too lazy to read the manual.

2) Did you get a lot of snow where you live? It seems like that's all that everyone is talking about at the moment, myself included. Although fresh, untouched snow looks pretty, I'm not a big fan of snow as it causes so much disruption and I end up with a soggy bottom whenever I go out. That said, I think these snowy days are the perfect excuse to finally buy a pair of Hunter wellies... However I never feel the price is justified for a few snowy days a year.

3) My mum and I caught up on the past two episodes of Mr. Selfridge earlier this week. I really enjoyed it and found myself wanting to research more about Harry Selfridge and the history of Selfridges. So I Wiki'd them and found its history really interesting.

What has been going on in your life lately?

Thank you for reading. xoxo, Joy

    I hope you had a good birthday! Best to save the money than buy something for the sake of it, perhaps a new lens for your camera when you've learnt how to use it :-) we had about a day of snow and I didn't even get a full day off work! xx
