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?

10 things 2020 has taught me so far

This year has been strange for all of us. Some people enjoyed the time off, some hated the lack of structure. Some loved spending quality time with loves ones, others felt claustrophobic. Some of us felt all of this and more. But you know what, I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about myself that I didn't already know and i'm sure many of you can resonate with some of these points.  I found out that keeping busy was my way of blocking things out. When everything stopped and I could no longer keep filling all my time with 'stuff' I found that I felt quite uncomfortable. Unaddressed demons kept popping up for the first few weeks. This time made me stop and address things I had otherwise would have kept putting off further. It felt healing to let things go and focus on me. Work does not define me. Your job is a part of you, yes, but it is not everything about you. You should not tangle your self worth up in anything that is outside of you.  I found out what I really enjoy. ...

Mastering Productivity and Time Management

Those emails need replying too, the phones ringing AGAIN, the boss needs me to have a meeting with a client by Friday, that report needs writing, where do I start? Do you sometimes feel a little overwhelmed by the amount you need to get done? Do you find yourself flitting between multiple tasks or avoiding it all together? This post is for you! What is productivity?  Productivity is your sustained progress towards a goal over time. It is your ability to keep ploughing through something at a good rate. Being productive is obviously important when you have a set deadline, you need to get xyz done by a certain date/time. Productivity can become difficult when we don't have these things, however, being productive can be crucial for our mental health.  I found that during lockdown, my productivity dropped and so did my mood. Being able to build in routines and daily activities helped to boost my productivity and made me feel more accomplished .  Unfortunately there are a lot o...

What a week....

Hello again everyone! How have all of your weeks gone? Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why. Enough of that rant. Good things have happened! I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week. Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cu...
