Life Lately.


Life lately has been a mixture of busy and slow. Some days, I don't stop until I get to bed and other days, I read my book and laze about wilting in the sweltering heat and not quite knowing what to do with myself.

The past month or so has been filled with exciting things, beautiful sunsets, evenings at the park taking silly jumping photos, blue cloudy skies, long overdue lunches with family, work days in pretty office blocks, poolside afternoons with my 'sistuh', picnics with mini union jack flags, sleeping cats, pretty flowers, gorgeous sunsets, spontaneous gigs (Hudson Taylor), sunset bike rides, a phone switch-over, walking the streets of London to find ivy covered houses, cats trying to find cold places to sleep (like the garage floor), a trip to Bristol for my sister's graduation, a rooftop pool swim, exploring Bath for the afternoon, finding a strawberry one-sie for my strawberry obsessed friend, trying out Wahaca for the first time (and loving it), cloudy sunday at the golf driving range with the neighbours and city beach sunsets.

But it has also been filled with anxiety of what is to come, of the new stage of life I will start in September - another new city filled with people I don't know. I am excited though, about the prospect of doing a degree I love and hopefully trying new things and making new friends. We shall see!

Life Lately....


Across from L - R: ITALY: travelling across Italy with multiple suitcases and a guitar on my back,
a last afternoon with my friends in Cremona,
 ENGLAND: tea, reunited with my cats, beautiful spring sunset,
a cool design on the outside of the tube, Grandma and Grandad,
Richmond park with Danielle, delicious homemade salad,
spring blossoms at the park, Me at the top of a high ropes course for guides,
 tea on a early morning volunteering mission in the Chilterns.

The last two weeks have been strange as I made the decision to move back home to London from Italy. It had been a long time coming and the bad (my job) had begun to overrule the good (my friends, travel etc.), which was a shame, since the good was so awesome! I don't regret the decision, but I do wish there had been another way to stay a little bit longer.

Adapting has been strange, and it has taken me a little while to feel normal again. But I'm happy to be back, seeing friends and family, stroking cats, and making videos. Plus, I have the added bonus of knowing that I have a place at university to start in September doing the course that I want to! Life is Good and I'm excited for my friends to be home for the summer soon!

Listening to: Clouds by Zach Sobiech
Such an inspring and heartbreaking story but take the time to watch, it will make you think.
