Leapt into proposals ladies?

So have any of you frustrated ladies proposed to the partner in your life? Maybe after not having be proposed to on Valentine’s Day you have taken control of the situation, taken the opportunity and got down on bended knee? Or are you firm traditionalists and you know they will ask and are patiently waiting!
It’s today or 2016.
Me? Still patiently waiting…..

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2013!   Happy New Year to you All. I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and for those of you who had a break are fully fit and refreshed and ready to tackle all that this year throws at us. The end of 2012 was very busy, shooting in the studio right up until Christmas Eve so we were pleased to finish up and head off for Christmas. Christmas Day was kicked off with the gathering of the villagers in the Barley Mow for festive drinks then back home for a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, Christmas pud with brandy cream, perfect! We were then struck with a case of Man Flu in the house - yes, Jason got the flu. He went to bed Christmas night and re-emerged New Years Day, poor soul.

Nostalgia Now and For The Future

A week-or-so ago there was a thing on Facebook called 'Way Back Week'. A lovely idea, where people dug out their old photographs and posted one as their profile picture for that week. What absolute fun, and a time consuming experience that was - rummaging through the packets of photographs, howling with laughter at our clothes, remembering important occasions and feeling sentimental about friends lost. What struck me was that those packets of photographs came to quite an abrupt end at a period of my life. What happened? Did my parents no longer want to fill drawers of these moments in history, ready to be pulled out, ready to embarrass or reminisce at a moments notice? No, Mum was always ready to do that. So why? I have to say it was digital cameras, then smart phones. We no longer needed to print anything - all our memories were right there at a touch of a button, stored on hard drives, CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, in the cloud... This is genius, right? I'm afraid I have to

The History of the Diamond as an Engagement Ring

As Valentine's Day approaches and with it some very romantic proposals, I wondered why and when diamonds became popular as the stone for engagement rings. The History of the Diamond as an Engagement Ring A man presents his prospective bride with an engagement ring upon acceptance of his marriage proposal. Anthropologists believe this tradition originated from a Roman custom in which wives wore rings attached to small keys, indicating their husbands' ownership. In 1477, Archduke Maximillian of Austria commissioned the very first diamond engagement ring on record for his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy. This sparked a trend for diamond rings among European aristocracy and nobility. The sentimental Victorians popularized ornate engagement ring designs that mixed diamonds with other gemstones, precious metals and enamels. Often these rings were crafted in the shapes of flowers and were dubbed “posey rings.” Diamond rings crafted during the Edwardian era continued the tra
