The first photo an hour of 2026 took place on Saturday 24th January. We had a carnival presentation in the evening so our morning was fairly lazy. The presentation went well though with Lily winning two trophies!
Here's what the day looked like...

The last photo an hour date of 2025 took place on Saturday 20th December. It was a day of helping the Small Person do some sewing, then heading out to do some last bits of Christmas shopping before exploring some local Christmas lights on the way home!
A three month round-up to do this time! Carnival season here in Somerset has taken up most of our time and there just hasn't been the time to do the usual photo an hour round-ups.
So here's a long post with lots of photos :-)
Saturday 20th September was a carnival day on the Wessex circuit of processions. That day it was the turn of Frome Carnival and there was a children's afternoon procession and an evening procession.

Saturday 15th November was the last procession of the large County Circuit of carnivals, this time in Glastonbury.
Saturday 23rd was the date chosen for August's photo an hour, the bank holiday weekend! With only a few weeks left until Lily's first carnival of the autumn, it was a day filled with costume-making and sewing.
Saturday 19th was the date chosen for July's photo an hour. Lily and Andrew were camping at a local steam rally so I had (almost) the day to myself. I say almost as my uncle was staying at ours for the weekend but heading down to the steam rally himself for the day. The reason I stayed home was that I had tickets to see Tim Minchin in Bath in the evening with a friend! It was a fabulous show and made even better by the fact that our tickets got upgraded when we arrived (there was an issue with our booked seats) meaning we ended up 4 rows from the stage!
Saturday 20th was June's photo an hour date - a hot day of sewing and swimming!
May's photo an hour date was Saturday 17th. I had a day of peace and quiet (spring cleaning!) as Andrew and Lily headed out to Castle Combe Steam Rally, coming back home in the evening to watch the Eurovision Song Contest.
