With Valentine’s Day fast approaching it is time, for those in a relationship who believe in the importance of this day, to start thinking of what to buy the love of their life (if they haven’t already done so). There are, of course, many options to choose from. Gifts that have been bought or made with a lot of thought and creativity often go down the best as they show just how much you love, adore and cherish your other half.
When looking back to our childhood many of us have special and happy memories of some of the food that we were given by our parents and grandparents. And despite numerous attempts to replicate said dish, meal or dessert nothing ever quite compares. This can lead to many frustrations as we begin to really crave that elusive recipe.
We are a nation that loves animals and the majority of households in the United Kingdom have at least one pet. If you are one of these households, you’ll likely agree that this pet is very much part of the family. My parents ran an animal sanctuary when I was growing up where they would rescue stray and abandoned animals. My mum would often joke that she preferred animals to humans. I am pretty sure she meant it though.
We all need a little pick-me-up from time to time, some more often than others. I am somebody who massively enjoys going for long walks in the countryside and I nearly always return home in a happier mood than when I started. There are no doubt many reasons for this one of which has to be the benefits of being surrounded by nature. There is just something so calming about it.
The start of a new year often arrives with mixed emotions, depending on how you approach life. For some it is a time of new possibilities and opportunities; out with the old and in with the new as the saying goes. For others, it is not such a positive time as they struggle to return to normality after the fun and excitement of the festive period.
When I was growing up and even up to only a few years ago photography, at least in the UK, was only a hobby for those lucky enough to own a camera. And of those people, it was usually only those with a fairly decent camera that would continue with the hobby. There were still many, perhaps around five per cent of the population. Fast forward to today and that number has massively increased due to the smartphone.
With Christmas only a few weeks away the time has come when we need to get our thinking caps on to decide what gifts to buy for our friends and family. For some people, this can be quite daunting as it can be somewhat difficult to think of things to purchase.
Do you need to have a picture mount? What are the benefits of a picture mount? What is a picture mount? These are common questions that people ask. In this blog post, we will look into the different purposes of a picture mount and describe why it is an important component in picture framing.
Football is the number one sport in terms of popularity in the UK. There is a good chance that someone in your friends and family circle has a favourite team, and it’s more than likely that the majority of them have one. When it comes to buying presents for Christmas or their birthday the fact that they are a football supporter certainly makes it easier to decide what to buy.
When managing to obtain a goal in life whether it is academic, sporting, health-related or something else, it is worth showcasing the achievement as it is a good way to remember how much hard work, effort, time and determination you put in. It can also act as an inspiration to others as it shows them that with the right attitude, focus and work ethic, you can achieve things and ultimately improve your life.
