The Small Fella started preschool yesterday. All credit to him he just skipped in without so much as a backward glance. Another milestone for our family - I think we are still a little in shock!
It was very quiet around here with all three out for the morning.
Good luck to every one starting, returning or moving on this week.
The Small Fella made the Bosinver Farm Cottages Blog with the ‘Giant Poo Scooper’ shot while we were in Mayo. Check their post for the full story…
We’re just back from a fantastic week at Bosinver Farm Cottages in Cornwall. Great trip. It really is the perfect place to holiday with a young family - they couldn’t do anything more for you.
It’s been a long time since we were in Cornwall and there’s no shortage of things to do in the area. But as usual the most memorable were the simplest: crabbing off the quay in Looe in the lashing rain (8 crabs caught in 30 mins - lots more got away); feeding the animals at Bosinver everyday; fish and chips on the quay at Mevagissy.
And of course - the zip wire at Bosinver:

Lots more pictures to work through including some lovely ones from animal feeding and of course the ‘boy with gigantic poo shovel’ picture from the pony riding day! Keep an eye out on Facebook…
After some glorious sunny days in Kinsale, the Clipper fleet left Cork in drizzle. We had an image of sitting on the grass next to Blackrock Castle with a picnic and watching them sail past - but it was not to be. Still, it was a great sight to see them motoring out to the harbour.
In time for the start of the summer holidays, I am pleased to announce the start of my Portfolio Programme.
The Programme is aimed at producing a range of unique family photographs based around a theme which is special to each family.
I want to talk to families with a shared passion for something - something which is personal to them and is a major feature in their lives on a regular basis.
Together we’ll use that as a theme for a family photo session featuring all the family and elements of whatever it is they do. We’ll choose the location and the timing of the session to suit the theme.
Whether you’re mad into surfing, GAA, music or whatever, I want to hear your ideas for a family photograph with a difference.
As with previous promotions, I want to use these images for my own publicity on the web and in print. In return for your time, the session is free and you’ll get a framed print as well.
So before you head off to do whatever you do best this summer, think about whether you’d like some great pictures to remember it by.
Give me a call at 087 683 8511 or email me your ideas and we can come up with some great new family photographs.
More information, details and some more ideas are posted at http://blog.roblambphoto.com/?page_id=488
Now this guy may be a little young for this programme - but you never know, he might make it one day…
Cork Textiles Network are opening their annual show at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral tomorrow, Thursday 3rd June. This year’s show is entitled ‘Down the Road’
I spent a day back in March photographing pieces for the exhibition (some still very much works in progress) so that images are now available for the programme, artists’ cards and promotional literature for the show.
It will be nice to see the finished pieces in all their glory in the Cathedral tomorrow. The show runs until the 17th June.
Good luck to everyone involved.
Throwing stones into the stream and wading in after them - what more could a boy want? The small loop in the National Park was a perfect spot for an outdoor session with Séamus and his Mum.
I have posted some of my pictures from last week’s communion on a private site for the school.
Access to the gallery page requires a password which was given to all the class on Friday. However it you are a friend of the school please contact me stating how/who you know in the class and I’ll send the details on to you.
Or call me at 087 683 8511
There was a problem viewing the galleries in Internet Explorer but I think that’s fixed. As usual the galleries do require Adobe Flash but if there are any more problems, just let me know.
More from the Spring sessions. It seems like ages ago since I met Aoife and her boys in Fitzgerald’s Park.
Thanks again to Aoife and the Lads for a lovely morning in the Park.
