For me, one of the biggest joys of motherhood, is introducing my daughter to the places that are a special part of my childhood. Hunstanton holds many memories for me (my sisters and parents too). The promise of ice creams, sand castles and jaunts to the fairground and arcades with our entire savings of copper pennies, filled us all with so much excitement. We’d visit every year as soon as the weather was warm enough for sandals and the five of us would jump into our car for the quick trip from home to the seaside.

The magical shift from the rich greens and colours of summer to the abundance of glorious earthy-golden hues of autumn. It brings me so much joy to observe and as the years have passed, feels significant and symbolic of motherhood.

October Sunshine | Last of the Summer Colour at Castle Ashby
The first time I visited Castle Ashby Gardens was in the Spring of 2017, before embarking on my journey into motherhood. Four years later, on a warm October day, I introduced Emilia to these beautiful gardens and it felt like a special moment for me and my romantic heart. Wandering the estate together and rediscovering the magic of these unique gardens through her eyes was a happy adventure, filled with simple moments I will cherish, always.
