April 5, 2019 No Comments

Gothenburg; Sweden’s second largest city, birthplace of the lovely Jens Lekman and, for a while, home to my friend Tom.

Me soaking up the last of the summer rays back in Me soaking up the last of the summer rays back in September 🌞 . Been doing my best influencer impression on my story today by sharing my experiences using the Lumie Vitamin L light to combat low mood and energy during the dark winter months. 'Av a look if you're interested. 💁‍♀️ . Also, I'd like to take a moment to admire my own shapely thigh muscles that are on display here, which I have now sadly allowed to wither into obscurity. 😭😅

What a day... U.S. election results and the last d What a day... U.S. election results and the last day of freedom here in the U.K. 😅 . Eating out was nice while it lasted, although we've only been to a restaurant once, to this gorgeous place, since the weather made al fresco dining an impossibility 🌪 Glad we chose wisely! . Feeling hopeful today - maybe naively - that the winds of change might be upon us 🤞🤞 Also, we've done lockdown once, so we can do it again. Remember to be kind to yourself. I used to think self-care was a bit of a stupid fad, but it's definately what got me through the last one. ❤

Just had to walk to the shop for Bake Off treats ( Just had to walk to the shop for Bake Off treats (donuts, FYI 🍩) in the dark!! I reckon I have enough digits to count the number of times I've been out after dark since March, and still have some little toes left over. 😅 It was kind of exhilarating, to be honest 😂 I forgot how pretty the valley looks with its houses all a-glow and was getting major nostalgia from the smell of wood smoke, fresh air and damp leaves... Maybe these dark nights aren't so bad after all (I say, just two days after the clocks went back ⏰)
Hellooo 28! 👋 It's my proper birthday - As in Hellooo 28! 👋 It's my proper birthday - As in it lands on the Sunday that the clocks go back, just like it did the day I was born. No wonder I've always loved a sleep in. 🤷‍♀️ I've spent the weekend in the confines of our cosy little valley and feel so happy for it. The paired-back celebrations have consisted of food, drink, long evenings by the fire, baths every night and lazy mornings. 💤 This year I'm grateful for health and happiness as well as all the messages, stories, flowers and pressies I've received. I've particularly enjoyed getting physical birthday cards. ✉ In the absence of seeing friends and family the intimacy of handwritten messages and thoughtfully selected designs have really meant a lot. I've decided I need to do better at sending them myself from now on. 📬 Time for reflection; 27, you were interesting. A year that forced me to focus on the little things; the small joys, the importance of self care and snatched moments with loved ones. You've been fine, really, but 28 has the potential to shit all over you. 💩

Ah, October! By far my favourite month of the year Ah, October! By far my favourite month of the year🍂🍃🍁 How can you not love these colours? 😍
Been up since 5 a.m. (absolutley not like me) beca Been up since 5 a.m. (absolutley not like me) because I couldn't switch my head off. It's hard to believe it's almost October and that we've wiled away three quarters of the year not doing much and not going very far at all. For the past few years we've been away at this time of year. I love travelling in Autumn, especially over my birthday. But this year I will spend the season close to home, enjoying the beautiful colours it brings here, and I am lucky to be able to do so. At the beginning of the year I set myself a challenge not to fly for 12 months (lol, turned out to be the easiest challenge ever!) but I had romantic notions of interrailing around Europe and I am missing these contintental scenes so much. Obviously travel is the least of everyone's worries right now, including mine, but my god, I can't wait for the adventure to resume!
