Say hello to my best friend at university. She's beautiful, witty, intelligent and we have the best time hanging out together. Little bit worse for wear in this photo as we got drenched trying to reach the club in miserable weather. Typical England!

Love you Jodie!

so lots has happened...

I went to the beach, moved into a new house, raided Ikea for the new house, had a BBQ/paddling pool house-warming/friends birthday party, made my room a little more 'me', discovered a shop not too far away that sells my favourite American sweets and went to watch the footie. 

Oh and I'm back into the studying swing of things again. 

It's been good, hectic, but good.

I made a rainy day playlist.

Hello Bank Holiday. Oh and hello torrential rain.

So I lit some candles, snuggled in my cosiest cardigan and made a playlist that looks a little bit like this...

Bras, BBQs & British Weather

IMG_19721 IMG_19971 IMG_19591 IMG_19861

Just a few instagram pictures from this weekend. The highlight of my weekend had to be going to a Céilidh (said 'Kay-lee') held in order to raise money to help fight Breast Cancer. So many people are affected by cancer be it personally or through family, friends etc. and I think it's so important that we do raise both awareness and funding so that research into finding a cure can continue. The Céilidh was a fantastic night of laughter, dancing and bunting made out of bras, a perfect event for such a worthy cause!

Other spare moments were spent seeing my family, eating lots of naughty food and having a BBQ even though it was overcast and poured it down about 30 seconds after we stopped eating. Bit of a mad dash to take everything inside but totally worth it because I'm a big fan of outdoor eating, even if it is in slightly miserable British weather.

My Perfect Sunday.

IMG_19801

I think my perfect Sunday would have to be waking up with Marcus at around 9am(ish) and going making a cup of tea to bring back to bed with me. Then maybe spending the next couple of hours reading whilst Marcus watches TV. We'd eventually drag ourselves out of bed, get ready (I'd throw on a summery dress to compliment the beautiful sunshine) and then head off in the car for a yummy breakfast that Americans seem to do really well (in my opinion). Then off to some place where there's large grassy spaces, some body of water - lake, river, fountains, I don't really care.  We'd lay out a huge blanket, rummage through the big cooler of food and drinks we brought at whim and chat, read, play mini games of badminton, frisbee etc. and possibly be joined by some great friends. Round about 5ish, we'd pack up and head back home, maybe stopping at the supermarket for whatever we fancy for tea that night. Well fed and content, we would then snuggle up for the evening with a DVD and plenty of popcorn, before heading to bed for a relatively early night so Monday morning is a painless as possible.
