Hello!
My name is Lou Archell, I am a freelance illustrator / writer, mother and blogger, lover of sunshine, dancing in my kitchen and drinking endless cups of tea. I share my home in Bristol, UK with my partner Dan, and sons Charlie (7) and Rufus (5). We love to live an adventure filled and simple life in this wonderful city. Littlegreenshed celebrates the magic of moments and the simple beauty of every day life
"I am Thing-Finder, and when you're a Thing-Finder you don't have a minute to spare. .... The whole world is full of things, and somebody has to look for them."
Pippi Longstocking By Astrid Lindgren
A little on my past:
I have been drawing since I was a girl, taking photographs most of my life and blogging since 2010. I am a West Country (UK) girl, growing up in deep Somerset. A free childhood, spent roaming fields, picking blackberries when hungry and riding horseback. I travelled the world in my 20's for 5 years. I experienced life and people that changed me forever... this is where my love of photography really grew. I became a documenter, a watcher, seeing life's little secrets... Back in Bristol, I met my partner Dan, fell in love... we soon became a family of 4. And here we are today.. in a home we are still renovating and trying to have as much adventure along the way.
I love sunshine, walking barefoot, the smell of wood smoke, dancing, riding my bike, collecting shells on the beach, laughing with my sons, cooking, listening to music, drinking cocktails, knitting socks, making jam, star gazing, cloud watching, drinking loose leaf tea & renovating my home. I get inspiration through everything that surrounds me nature, people, fashion, animals, flora.... it's all jotted down in my notebooks and captured on camera which I always carry around with me.
