Bristol break

Hello all! Hope you had a great Christmas. I spent Christmas with my family and ate way way waaaaay too much… worth it!

Before Christmas though my boyfriend and I decided to have a night away in Bristol as a Christmas present to each other. We did this last year and went to the Winchester Christmas market so I think we are making it a bit of a tradition. I really recommend giving a present in the form of a memory as I will always look back on these nights away with fondness.  
First of all we had a look around the Bristol museum and art gallery. The building was beautiful and was lovely to have a quick look around. I particularly enjoyed the natural history and art section. I think a visit to an art gallery is in order soon!

We then met up with my friend who lives in Bristol and he showed us around the harbour front and back to the Christmas market and shopping area. We then had a look around the shops and it was lovely to be in a city at Christmas time with the hustle and bustle of Christmas shoppers and all the pretty Christmas lights. We then had a wander through the Christmas market and has a mulled wine which was divine!

For dinner we spent a couple of hours in Prezzo eating and drinking and chatting away. The building was really beautiful and it was just lovely to sit together and chit chat into the evening.

The next day we started the day right with a buffet breakfast so large that we didn’t need to eat till dinner. Yeah ik this post seems to be all about food ahahaha. We planned to walk through the old part of town and really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful architecture. I especially enjoyed looking at the cathedral and queens square. 








After that we headed to the zoo and had a great afternoon looking at all of the animals. I really enjoyed watching the gorillas as there was a baby and young one playing and it was lovely to see them so close up. I also really enjoyed watching the chameleon which my boyfriend endured nearly half an hour of my staring at..whoops!





I hope you all had a great Christmas and/or break this holiday season and id love to hear what Christmassy things you got up to! Whats your new years resolutions for 2018 and what from 2017 do you want to leave behind?

Autumn reflection

Happy Monday folks! Where has this last week gone? In fact, how has autumn nearly come and gone! Scarfs, candles, pumpkins, warm drinks and leaves, this time of year is so lovely. This season is always one for getting back into the swings of uni/school work and coming to terms with the fact that summer is now a distant memory, the nights draw closer and the weather gets more and more dreary with each coming day…. Yay? But after a few years of study, I feel like I have got into the balance of life/work but every year September brings around the challenge all over again. With what feels like mountains to do, sometimes the things I enjoy seem to slip. So, having just been set 5 projects all due by December, I thought now would be a good time to outline what I find are the best ways to manage those stressy times but still get what needs to be done… well… done! 1)       Lists – an old but true suggestion. Write everything down. The stress of forgetting something is gone and u

Finding the light within the storm

January was a month of lockdown, isolation and teaching from home. A month of sunrises, walks and reading. Dancing, painting, snow falls and quiet. There was beauty where you looked for it. Moments of calm amongst this storm. The snow bought a welcome relief. Some variety to living so cooped up. It felt lovely to feel such coolness in the air and to see the world looking so bright. I built a snowman and felt my worries slipping away. I enjoyed hot chocolates and cosy blankets. February started off much like January but harder. Days working from home felt filled with stress and worry. Long days slumped over a laptop, grinding teeth and headaches, deadlines and lesson plans. However, it has also been filled with love. Valentines day, walks, yummy food and still more memories from this month to make. I wanted to share a few things that are lighting up my life so far in 2021. We all need to find the light in the storm. I downloaded an app called one second everyday and I really recommend y
