postcards to the past.

Just in case you somehow haven't caught my updates on social media - I'm on holiday! I'm having a week in the sun all by myself. With this in mind I thought I'd share some photos of summer days passed, and show you a fun little thing to help you share your nostalgic photos with your loved ones.

easy friday.

my may.

We're not even half way through my favourite month yet, and it has been as juicy and colourful as the strawberry above. We've been blessed with a lot of sunshine here in Bristol, and all the flowers have really come to life! I may be in gorgeous Barcelona right at this moment, but it's lovely to take a minute to see how beautiful our country can be.

printic instagram prints.

The lovely humans at Printic contacted me recently and asked me if I'd like to try out their app, which allows you to order high quality prints of your instagram photos. I couldn't say no!

devon snapshots.

Oh would you just look at that glorious countryside?! Devon was blessed with some beautiful weather while I visited. Here is a bit of what I got up to, in another list and photo post.

our last days.

So Doug is now around 6000 miles away from me, and I won't see him with eyes for about 5 or 6 months. It doesn't quite feel real yet, and I'm keeping busy so that I don't think about it too much. Before he left, we had a lovely few days together, and I wanted to share some of the photos.

snowed in.

hollow trees.

Lately, when I'm feeling a little low, I walk. I am stupidly lucky to have such a beautiful place not far from my home. Every time I go, I discover something new. This time I went on a hunt for the hollow trees, in the hope that I could climb inside and disappear, just for a little while.

I feel like I've been too busy for anything recently, sorry about that. The past two days have been full of some of my favourite humans. My funny, talented and kind friend James came to visit Bristol as he's hopefully moving back - yay! We walked 6 miles on the first day, up to the suspension bridge (which weirdly I've never ever done!) and through Clifton, stopping to look in an antique shop and have lunch. 

wintery walk.

This morning, I decided to start my day of productivity off with a lovely little frosty walk, to make me feel inspired for the rest of the day. My walk turned into a three-hour ramble around, and by the time I got home I was so exhausted that I couldn't handle doing much for the rest of the day...! I don't think I'm quite over my throat infection yet.

Anyway, I think it was worth it, because look how goddamn beautiful it is where I live...

erratic clouds.

• The sky echoes my mind. There's something on fire - besides my heart - and the smoke is clouding my eyes, burning my eyes; what's true? The chill catches my breath, mimics the smoke, the clouds. At least I'm breathing. At least I'm still living when I want to fade like the smoke; like the clouds I want to rain down as something new. •

The beautiful skies earlier, and some words that I scribbled down as I watched. I am content.

my new home :)

So, you're probably getting sick of me talking about how I've moved to Bristol! This is the last time I'll mention it for a while, I promise!

I just wanted to share a few photos of moving day, the view from my room, a little walk around where I live (the house with the lovely front garden, campervan and pigs are not mine!) and some photos of my room - I've nearly finished unpacking!

my last week in devon!

This is going to be a majorly photo-heavy blog post, as it's snapshots of everything I've done in the past week... and a lot of photos of cats. I just wanted to share with you what I've been doing in the run-up to leaving Devon, and moving to Bristol!

SUNDAY.

Hadn't been sleeping well due to stress/excitement so tried to use some calming bubble bath...


Used too much which made the bath too exciting. And there was another spider in my bed!

MONDAY.

Chopped my fringe!


Sat in the most overcast, bleak cafe ever. Waiting for my train to Exeter.


Writing while I wait for Kris.


Chilli squid at Wagamama! Sooooooo so yummy!


My favourite Wagamama meal - chilli squid, ginger chicken udon, and a green tea!


Stopped for a couple of beers in Bill's! It's been done really well, loved the decor.


Tiniest salt and peppers! Kris tried to make me steal them. Bad influence.


TUESDAY.

First run. Autumn colours.


Silvery scenery. I'm going to miss this place.

WEDNESDAY.

New Primark sockies and DMs to keep my feet dry in the horrible weather!


Cinema with Beth, for her birthday and my goodbyes! We saw The Campaign. It was pretty funny.

THURSDAY.

Second run. Stunning day, Devon is too pretty.


Not going to be my street for much longer...!


How much is that kitty in the window?


Windy daaaaaaaay! Dressing androgenous. New Look sunglasses.


Camel coat - EWM, shirt - Uniqlo, leggings - Topshop, desert boots - Clarks.


Packing & sorting means I finally found my iPod! No more boring bus journeys!


Beautiful Devonshire valley.


Looking over Torbay.


Watching Jeremy Kyle with my silly cat-nephews.


D'aaaawwww.


I bought my brother ribs and beer to say thank you for helping me. He kindly let me share with him. 



Clearly they were absolutely delicious! Clever bruv. Lad.


My little niece, Evelyn, feeding herself a yoghurt! So cuuuute!

FRIDAY.


New coat courtesy of Boohoo keeping me nice and dry!


Farewell meal with my girls! <3



I do love a steak from Cotton Eye Joe's!

Then I hung out with my cats for a while and took a few photos...




Mine and Geoff's desert boots. Love the difference in size!


Wine with mum and Geoff.






SATURDAY.

The clouds moving in different directions while I sort my last things out.


My lovely coat again! Really love it!


Pretty much all my stuff packed.. well, the essentials.


Fizzzzzzzy wine on my last night!


Mum and Geoff making me some yummy food.


The last supper! Goat tagine, cous cous and salad.


Best fruit ever.


These are not just profiteroles... these are M&S profiteroles.


Mum got me a cat teapot as a leaving present!


I love the eyebrows. Such a sweet little face.

Bubbles in my wine and bubbles in my bath. A pretty perfect end to my last week here.

So that's it - I'm leaving Devon as you read this, and trotting off to Bristol! It's really happening, I'm actually going! My last week has been so utterly lovely, it almost makes me not want to leave, but I know I can't stay here anymore.

To new beginnings! Cheers!
