hidden treasure

I recently got a bunch of rolls developed which I'm super excited to share with you over the coming months. But first, let me tell you about the best surprise film has given me yet. I found an old roll of film in my Holga which has been stuck in a box for as long as I can remember. I couldn't think at all what I had last taken pictures of and wasn't sure if the roll would still be in good enough condition to be processed. The pictures below may seem unimpressive but it turns out (I didn't even realise until my sister pointed it out to me) that they are from the day I got engaged. My lovely husband planned a surprise picnic but due to typical English weather relocated indoors and managed to set it up without me noticing. After lunch he popped the question. As I'm typing this I have just realised it is almost 4 years to the day since we got engaged...12th June 2012. It was so lovely to discover these photos and despite spectacularly cutting my ring out of the frame, they capture wonderful memories. And that is what taking photos is all about really.
