She's ready for her close up

This afternoon we headed to The Glebe gardens for a photo shoot: we had a bunch of photographic equipment (complete with photographer), Sharon's lovely Nosey Rosie clothing range, some fabulous children, balloons and a dinky toadstool.

We were ready.

My designated role was as Holder of the Gargantuan Chocolate Bar. It was, sadly, not real: a 5 foot slab of polystyrene, covered with gold foil. Very Cadburys.

Coincidentally, most of us had been in The Glebe on Sunday - that sunny, temperate afternoon. Today was... not that. The weather had been slowly turning all day, but the process sped up upon our arrival: colder, darker, windier. We stuck at it for nearly two hours, and the children were phenomenal throughout; I reckon we managed to get through about two-thirds of the shots. Weather forecasts, local sages & oracles are being consulted for Round Two.

We had some good fun though :-)
