a year with you.

Please excuse the PDA.. also this blog post probably contains the most photos out of any blog post I've ever done.

Today, Doug and I have been together for one magical year! 

To mark this momentous occasion, I thought I'd share a whole bunch of my favourite memories in photo form. This means you avoid having to read about how much I love him, but it does mean loads of pictures of his hairy face. Proceed with caution.

If this isn't enough for you (you might want to consider therapy) there are links to corresponding blog posts in the captions!

Our first weekend. Doug stood on his broken amp, smoking out of his window.

Doug playing the piano.

The creatures I made for Doug & Ed to take away with them.

A fun-filled trip to Brighton.

Valentine's Day was spent apart, but he made me a black origami heart.

A night marvelling over a shiny new friend.

A couple of amazing gifts from the boy.

My two favourite bed friends having a nap together.

Our first trip to Bath.

A yummy breakfast in bed.

Tea & lunch at a favourite cafe.

Sunny kisses.

Another yummy breakfast in bed!

Easter = giant dinner-plate-sized chocolate nests.

"Helping" the boys pack before their big adventure.

An incredible feast with incredible humans.

I helped with Doug's EP cover.

The final feast before we left Doug's London house!

Drinks and sing-songs in my mum's garden.

Adventures on the river.

Our last day together, picnics on the beach.

His toes disappearing, mine left behind.

One of the last cups of teas before he left for the other side of the world.

I got a tattoo to remind me of our shiny friend.

Our relationship looked like this for a few months.

And this too.

AND THEN HE CAME BACK EARLY!

And we got to have teas together again!

Fun at Windmill City Farm.

Favourite drinks in Dartmouth.

Huge icecreams in Exeter.

Drunken sunny times in my mum's garden during Dartmouth Regatta.

One day Doug came back from an adventure with fish 'n' chips & cream soda!

I had a very handsome date to my cousin's vintage wedding.

We spent Doug's birthday in Bath, at the American Museum.

And dinner & cocktails at The Cosy Club.

BIG BEERS at The Hare.

Lunch on the Grain Barge.

Followed by playing in the leaves!

We went on our own adventure to Edinburgh!

To Devon, and wandering around Dartington Gardens.

Becoming each other.

A disgustingly fun Halloween.

Doug treated me to a date at the aquarium!

Playing with sparklers on November 5th.

Leaving origami hearts for others to enjoy.

Doug started playing live again, and I felt proud.

I drank tea & watched him play at STB too.

His hair grew longer and the way it stuck up made me smile every morning.

A rather fancy date night.

Baking Christmassy things at my mum's house.

We exchanged lovely gifts, including these Rob Ryan mugs.

We invested in a HUGE duvet, and never wanted to get up.

Doug shaved off his beard and I didn't recognise him for a while.

Theodore Twombly day happened, after watching Her.

An amazing walk in the country the day after dinner & games at our friend's.

Treating Doug to lunch at St Nick's.

Visiting Crawley & getting to meet more of Doug's family.

Especially this little guy!

Ok there's going to be a little bit of mushy writing now..

Here's to many more years as beautiful as this one (ideally without the months spent apart!) our future home, cats and more adventures. Let's hold hands the whole way, please.
