Developing film with coffee sounds like a line from Peter Kay’s standup routine. Cheese….cake? Developing film?…..with coffee?? oh yes, developing film by using instant coffee and other ingredients readily available in Tesco can be done.

Sharing the love on #FridayWithFriends this week because it feels like there has been a sadness this week online. It has been palpable. Events over the past seven days feel like they have rocked everybody, and social media has taken a kicking. Justifiably so in many cases.

Galentine’s Day is a relatively new phenomenon and isnt one we have ever really considered acknowledging before to be honest. But this year, well this year, since we have just launched #FridayWithFriends Annie and I thought we would, after all Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating those female friendships we have in our lives. Annie and I met online about eight years ago, and then finally met in person when
Mementos for school leavers Have you ever heard about personalised mementos for school leavers? You know, like leaver’s hoodies, gym bags, pencil cases? To be honest, they really weren’t a thing when I was little (well to be fair it was 40 years ago) but in the last couple of years it really appears to be something that more and more schools, or PTA’s are organising. When I was leaving
So here we are, Annie and I announcing #FridayWithFriends. For a while now Annie and I have been chatting about launching “something” called #FridayWithFriends. What form that “something” took we weren’t quite sure. We thought about sticking to IGTV, maybe doing a podcast, or just doing what Annie and I do best, setting up a new website and social media channels. We knew we wanted to celebrate friendship, to
There will be no rotting teeth in this family! It is sad that for much of human history, rotting teeth were a fact of life. People simply didn’t know how to protect themselves from plaque-causing bacteria, leading to untold misery for millions. With the advent of modern dental practices, however, things began to improve.

And when you are already exhausted at the end of the week, this is often the last thing you want! But it would be a real shame for your
With the best will in the world, and all the right camera kit, getting photos of yourself in a variety of settings is not an easy task. Which is why you need to consider hiring a photographer. Historically we would only ever hire a photographer for a wedding or new baby shoot wouldn’t we? It’s just something we wouldn’t consider, especially when we are all so used to taking hundreds

I keep looking back at 2019 thinking it was a really crappy year, that it was one I would like to forget. And in so many respects it really was. Except whilst looking through all the photos I took last year I realised that there were also lots of highs, points worth remembering, and that hopefully will be the bits I remember when I look back on those 12 months
8 eco friendly swaps to make in 2020 If there was one good thing to come out of 2019 then it would have to be how much more aware we are of climate change, and the impact that plastics are having on that. Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough really made us all sit up and finally start paying attention to the damage single use plastics are having, of how
