Ugh. Left it too long again. Been meaning to write an update for ages, but I'm always too busy or too tired to do it.
Last update was a brief one in March & before that it was a new year post! Sheesh.
To bring you up to speed:
We now live in Cambridgeshire & I work at my company's store in Cambridge itself. I'm getting on well there, have made some friends at work & generally like 99% of the people there, which is good.
I get the train to work, which is more expensive than the bus was in Bristol, but far more pleasant, albeit still with a few annoyances.
Yes, I've managed to get a personal blog site up. Wordpress & with a default theme as I've not had time to get into designing it, but it's on my "To do: Someday" list.
I've also been writing a short story that I started ages ago & intend to finish. The novel is currently on hiatus, but I will definitely return to it. I was speaking to a customer at work who was a budding novelist & she said generally the first book for authors is about 60-75K words. Mine is just over 60 at present & I'm not quite halfway through. Yikes. Could be a lot of editing to do.
Our daughter turned 1 just over a month ago & is still an absolute joy 89% of the time.
I'm still very active on Twitter & Instagram & even had one of my images highlighted on a weekly forum on Instagram. On that note, I've been truly bitten by the photography bug, (which you can read more about here if you wish,) and splurged out on this bad boy:
A Canon 550D. It's fucking beautiful & it takes amazing pictures. I love it & am seriously considering a 5 year plan to becoming a professional.

I'd be up for doing some portraits/sets if anyone was interested.
