I’m feeling pretty happy right now. We managed to stick with the Me and Mine project for another year, taking a family photo every single month.
We did it last year, and I remember feeling just as happy as I looked at all our family photos for 2017 at the end of the year.
Our last set of family photos for 2018 were taken not far from where we took December’s last year – in Singleton park.
We had gone out for a walk in the drizzle to stretch our legs after a few days spent doing lots of relaxing at home over Christmas. Nerys was really excited to go and see the sundial in the gardens, and it turned out to be the perfect height for balancing the camera to take a few photos.
Looking back at my post from the end of last year it’s quite funny to see that it was only in December that I really started using a remote trigger to take our photos. Before that I was setting the timer for each photo, and making a mad dash to get back in the frame.
This year I think all but one of our photos were taken with the remote. And it’s definitely made the whole process easier, and more fun in a way because Nerys really enjoys being the one to use it.
We’ve got quite a nice mix this year of photos taken in different places that we’ve loved spending time at in 2018.
I think we’ve all become used to taking these family photos each month now, so while it can still feel like a bit of a hassle some months, I think we’d all miss it if we stopped doing it.
It’s definitely something I’ll be sticking with again in 2019!
