Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 175: Mosaic


We took the train to Colchester today, the oldest town in England. We were fortunate enough to get a private guided tour of the Norman castle, built in 1076 by William the Conqueror around the ruins of a Roman temple. We explored the temple vaults, saw Roman mosaics, held 1900 year old pottery, tried on a Roman helmet, reenacted sword fighting on a Norman staircase climbed by at least four English kings, got up on to the roof and explored the prison. It was a great visit!
