Peppermint's Photo Diary

Hi friends. I hope you are well. This post today comes from Peppermint Periwinkle's latest (and so far only) adventure.

A few weeks ago I went away with my dad to visit my grandma. Naturally, Peppermint came too.

Actually, I'm usually very cautious when taking my Sylvanians out and about, afraid of them getting lost and dirty. But this trip came at a bit of tough time, as I had just lost my beloved bunny, Bramble. He was with me for 9 years and died very suddenly, but having Peppermint along on the trip gave me comfort, especially because she's a bunny too. Isn't it funny how much these little figures can help us?

I wasn't sure if I would share that, but it made me happy each time I got Peppermint out and posed her, and now I want to share that with you. 

So here is Peppermint's photo diary of the trip, with captions: 

People watching at the petrol station on the way. 

We took photos in front of some broom bushes.

A moody sky at our lunch spot known as the Desert Road.

We investigated a pretty rose tumbling over the fence.

Here is Peppermint at Grandma's house. 

Evenings brought soft sunsets over country lanes. 

The next day, we went for a drive out to the coast and saw some spectacular scenery. 

We did actually even see some seals on the shore, although we didn't manage to snap any photos of her with them. Peppermint wished she had her friends, Bubble and Pearl, from the Atlantis seal family with her!

The view from the top was beautiful. Luckily for Peppermint, she rode up in my pocket and was spared the climb, much steeper than I thought. 

After, we rested on the beach for awhile.

These coastal flowers matched Peppermint's palette! 

She quickly posed for a photo in front of some beautiful wildflowers as we drove past (and thankfully didn't fall out the ute window). Peppermint had never seen colours like it.

Here she is in my pocket.

Waiting for Dad at the petrol station again.

On our way home, we stopped for lunch in the same spot. It was a beautiful clear day this time and Peppermint had her first glimpse of a mountain.

She had a little stretch of her legs before we carried on again, and this time our next stop was home sweet home.

I hope you've enjoyed Peppermint's little photo diary. Some of the photos are not very good quality because I was using my phone camera (which was very old) but I now have a new phone, which excitingly takes very good photos. I plan to do more Sylvanian photography using my phone now, which means I won't have to upload photos to my computer in order to blog. 

I can't believe it's nearing the end of the year already; I have so many post ideas I haven't created yet, but I hope to at least do something festive before Christmas.

I hope you're all having a lovely start to December. Best wishes, friends!
