Day by Day 365: Day 177: A well-loved view

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 177: A well-loved view

The children and I returned to Standon today, where we used to live before we moved to Portland. We attended a lovely service at our old church and spent the rest of the day with our beloved friend Lizzy and her incredibly hospitable family. Johnny, Daniel and I went on some of our favorite walks around the village. There were so many photos I could have used but I picked this one, taken from the hill behind the church, one of my favorite places, where I have often spent time sitting and thinking and enjoying the view.
