We thought Freya had already had a mild case of chickenpox as a toddler but it seems we were mistaken because she definitely has it now.
I’ll admit I freaked out just a tiny bit when I saw the first of what turned out to be several little blisters on Friday. I cancelled my work plans, raced off to the shops and loaded up on calamine, oats and Calpol. As it turns out, while the spots continue to appear, Freya doesn’t seem ill with it. At all. As always, if anything, I’d say she has even more energy than usual. Of course, we can’t go anywhere, so keeping her entertained has been…challenging.
Anyway, yesterday my mum and dad came to see her, which she was delighted about. Mark and I popped out for an hour to get some fresh air at our old favourite, Strumpshaw Fen.
The weather has returned to what I would consider much more normal for this time of year so it was a bit of a dreary day (no butterflies yesterday). Nevertheless, there were still lots of things to photograph.
In fact, I had so many photos that I thought I’d have a go at a little video. It’s the first one I’ve done like this (and obviously I’m an amateur at both photography and video). What do you think? It seems a good way to make use of the millions of pictures I take without just posting them one by one.

I like the video – pictures are fantabukous and good pace – the stick piano music was so so- but good idea to showcase some great shots

Brilliant! Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I’ll look into getting some better music if I do another one 🙂

Well
It might just be me- I know the stock music a little too well – ha… but go for what you like because it is your essence that will shine thru your posts (pics and video)

I love your video, especially like your choice of music to accompany it. Normally incidental music to video’s just annoys me and is jarring but that was so relaxing and complimented the photo’s so well. Ugh, hope you’ve had chicken pox. Never forget getting them at the same time as my son when he was about 4. We were both so poorly and itchy and spotty.

Oh my goodness! I can only imagine just how horrendous that was. You poor thing. Thankfully I have had it, although Mark hasn’t!
