    Me and Mine September 2015

    Sep 30, 2015 · Modified: Jan 22, 2022 by Ali · 14 Comments

    A couple of weeks ago we spent a wonderful day at Dyffryn Gardens, with free entry as a bonus as part of the Open Doors weekend. You can read more about our day out here.

    We went with a friend which meant we had a rare extra person to take a photo of the five of us. I guess he's not too familiar with DSLR cameras so this is a little out of focus but hey, we are all in it and all looking at the camera, that's a miracle in itself!

      That's great. It's always nice to get a full family shot. Normally one person is behind the camera.
