It's a busy time of the year

Hi again everyone!

I've been keeping busy but having fun with it as well!

November 22. G and I went to check out a Scandinavian Market in London. The event was held at and organized by the Finnish Church.  It was cool, although crowded and expensive.  But I needed my salmiakki and pulla! :)



My loot

Some pulla


I also ate a rye bread with some salmon and G ate a hotdog the size of this head!
Later that evening we went to watch the Arsenal game in a local pub.






Last weekend I surprised everyone and myself by getting in touch with my inner domestic goddess!
But that's a story for another day.

Last weekend

Hello,

Last weekend I traveled to London to see G. I love taking the train but didn't take any pics because I got to talking with my colleagues and then read a bit of Margaret Atwood's The year of the flood.
G lives in New Cross, I like it there. It's big and busy but friendly and clean at the same time.
We chilled out most the weekend, but on Saturday we went hunting for some food in the local Sainsbury's. Naturally we took some pics!










Basically I love my style. It's quite basic but it still sort of reflects who I am.
And yes, I was trying to get a thigh gap and was contorting myself into weird positions by Sainsbury's parking lot. :)

G was my partner in crime, he took the pics! <3

We also visited a Farmers market, but we were a bit late to leave the house, so we only got the tail end of the action.







Saturday night we went to 12 Bar Club to the Antifolk festival and it was... interesting!
I had never been before so I had no idea what was happening. G's friends Nathan is in a band and we heard them play, they were very good! Other than that, it really wasn't my scene and I don't think I understood what was going on..

Sunday came too soon, as it usually does and before I knew it I was on the train back to SoS. 

That was my weekend. Next weekend I'm back in London for more fun and games! And yes, I will take my trusty camera with me. :)

New start - again

Hello,

I'm back again. It's been nearly a year since my last post and so much has happened!

I've moved a few times since and the last move was just a few weeks ago. I moved to Essex, to Southend-On-Sea for a job.  But not just any job, but my dream job! I'm really excited and happy about it, although I did leave everything I'd gotten to know behind -  again. But S-O-S is a nice city, much bigger than Abbot and although it's always tough in the beginning, I'm sure it'll all be fantastic in the end!

I also have a new beau in my life! I've suddenly gone from being single, living in Abbot and working in Heathfield to being in a relationship, in my dream job and living 50min away from London. All within a space of two months, nearly three.

Here's some pics..













 
As my more avid readers will notice, I am still very much into my artsy fartsy photos! :)I don't take them deliberately, I just happened to notice it when I was uploading them. 

The amazing thing about SOS is the fact that it's by the sea! Not only does it make the climate colder but also it is beautiful and mysterious and wonderful! 
If you don't believe me, believe your own eyes! 



















This is all for now, but I promise more will come! x x
