#21 of the 30 Day Snap | Bumblebee

Read more about the series here and here.

Day 21.


Was just playing around with some settings on my camera and managed to get the bokeh balance right, and was pretty happy with this bumblebee picture.
Loving the simple life over here!

#3 of the 30 Day Snap | Pretty Street.


Read more about the series here and here.

Day 3 - it was a day mainly of travelling back to London from Cardiff, so much of it was spent on a national express coach and then a tube. (By the way, I highly recommend National Express for cheap last minute travel - it cost me £20 return for what would have been £61 on the train. And yes, I really like trains but this was definitely a good alternative seeing as it was only a little bit longer than a train would have been.)

Anyway, the coach dropped me at Earl's court and as I was walking to the tube station, I happened to look down a little side street and see this:

A street full of pretty trees, flowers and colourful houses. It just shows that all you 
have to do is look to find something beautiful, (there's a cheesy line.)

Are you participating in the challenge? If so, let me know, would love to follow along!

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!

Such an inspring and heartbreaking story but take the time to watch, it will make you think.
