Hello!
I mean, we all know I’m a big fan of capturing memories, documenting things and taking photos, so is this post a surprise to anyone? Probably not!
I’ve always liked having printed photos – I’ve just finished an album of some of my uni photos and I’ve got a couple of other photo albums and scrapbooks on the go. I’ve recently started making the most of getting 50 free 6×4 from Snapfish each month and I love choosing which ones I want to print to capture my month.
So I thought I’d do a more digital scrapbook, photo album thing and make a little snapshot of my month so far! Not sure if this is something I’ll do regularly, because I’m really enjoying making physical photo albums and I don’t think a blog post of 50 photos to summarise my month will have the same long term impact (nor do I think anyone is really that interested) but for the moment, I’m sticking with it and this last week has been pretty manic so it’s a good time to share!

I actually really love Sainsburys TU clothing, but I can’t justifying buying any part of this outfit at the moment (though after payday is a different matter entirely)
the first crunchy leaves feet picture of the year!
I wasn’t joking when I said I got loads of photos printed – there’s 140+ in this batch
Sainsburys released these collectable Lego cards for children. My 22 year old boyfriend is obsessed and very disappointed that it’s now ended and he didn’t complete his collection!
Oops it fell into my basket? (I really like the sunlight in this photo)
and here, three thousand years late, the girl discovers Huji – the photo app that says you’re living in 1998
when the boy takes outfit photos and then asks you to take a photo of him
I love cooking so much – this is the stuffing mixture I make usually for putting inside roasted peppers, but recently we’ve been putting them in wraps and making enchiladas with them and it’s been a big success (would anyone care about a blog post recipe?)
a photo of my granddad 1954 (left) – he just looks like such a ladies man and this is why I love printed photos!
my boy and I on our way to London!
Nick was our housemate for two years and one of our best mates at uni for all three years, this was the first time we’d seen him since graduation in July – three months!
Huji returns 4 The Circle Final – hosts Alice Levine and Maya Jama on the right and all the contestants are on the sofa on the left but it’s not very clear in this photo
We got moved to the other side of the studio and for a while we had a much better view (until some rude boys pushed in front of us) but I love this photo of all the finalists!
the view from our hotel was actually really cute
Really felt my make-up – I often avoid looking at myself at any opportunity but I didn’t hate myself on this day lol
underground signs aesthetically make me happy
the Natural History Museum is actually stunning
my tol boy with real tol boiz
I’m now obsessed with Dinosaurs and skeletons are proper cool
I thought this photo was proper artsy when I took it but it was mostly so I could read about the dinosaurs
trying to be creative but I wasn’t quite tall enough for this cool granite stone wheel thing to be a cool background and the lighting was rubbish but STILL
Huji photos and lens flares? CUTE
weekly card game night with le fam (minus my sister, who’s at uni)
RIGHT let’s talk about this – we’re quite competitive so we’re keeping track of overarching scores and somehow I’m OVER SIX HUNDRED POINTS BEHIND? Raging m8
even more Autumn-y leafy feet photos
the amazing cupcakes I made for my sister’s birthday (I wrote an insta post all about them which you can see here!)
family squeeze themselves into a car for a long ass drive to Bournemouth
Le Birthday Girl!
my sister in her funky new coat / the outfit she would wear if she was the Doctor
family birthday dinner at TGI Fridays
the birthday hat
I FINALLY GOT THE BIRTHDAY GIRL TO WEAR THE BIRTHDAY HAT!
nobody gets left behind… (he did though, reluctantly)
the drive home was SO PRETTY and all the trees were full of Autumnal colours but I couldn’t properly pick it up on camera
and my phone is mostly full of very exciting screenshots like these! Where are my Arrowverse fans at?
‘I can’t share a post with 50 photos in, that’s too many!’ she thought, then not being able to cut her photos from 17 days to less than 30.
Ah well, who doesn’t love a long post every now and then! It’s a bit like scrolling through Instagram but it’s just me, bit vain. Maybe I take too many selfies, maybe that’s not the worst thing in the world, but I’m getting better and taking family photos and documenting the everyday and I’m really happy with my mentality towards preserving memories – I’m going to have rooms full of photo albums and scrapbooks at this rate!
Thank you for reading,
Sophie xx

I love this- life is so much more fun to see through pictures than words sometimes.
