Things I've learnt from blogs this week...

Well I did have today's posts already planned out, but then (of course) I got distracted by things... oops :)

  1. I really need to arrange my books in colour order - here and here.
  2. I want mixtape wedding invitations - not that the boyfriend makes me tapes anymore, he makes me cds and spotify playlists... hehe i love him
  3. Its ok to delete your facebook - the world will not end (not that I did - I deleted my Myspace and Bebo though...)
  4. I really really really must get some yellow tights!
  5. Chocolate and beer - together - sounds perfect :)

Wells - Saltmarsh Coast Gallery

Whilst we were at Wells my boyfriend dragged me into the Saltmarsh Coast Gallery to buy some prints. His parents and his Grandmother already owned prints of the beach huts and he really wanted some too.

The gallery hosts photos by Gareth Hacon and Jon Gibbs which are mounted and framed within the shop. I'll admit, it took us a while to settle on two that we liked... however we now have two more prints (to go with our London ones) that are absolutely beautiful.

All I need now is that gallery wall to put them on...

Wells-Next-The-Sea

One day I will retire to the seaside and if I'm lucky it will be to Wells.

We've been going to Wells ever since I can remember, however it was only when I got with my Boyfriend that it became somewhere that I started going regularly, as we always lived that little bit too far away.

My first memory of Wells is climbing up the huge slope (which isn't there anymore) carrying my bucket and spade, trying as hard as my little legs could carry me to get up as fast as I could. That same day we took the little train, went on the roundabout on the park (not sure that is there either anymore...) and went into the awesome sweetshop opposite the amusements. I still love that sweetshop...

Never before have I seen seals on Wells beach though and I couldn't believe it when we saw them there! I've seen seals before on the Norfolk coast, however they are normally further towards Blakeney. I counted 8 in total, but there could have been more. These two were enjoying a sunbathe though... and I don't blame them!

Ingleton Waterfalls (Part 2)

How lovely are the waterfalls? They were absolutely stunning! My favourite part was the last photo - there were benches where you could just sit and watch the water run and the world fly by. The amazing thing about these waterfalls is that they are thousands of years old - time almost means nothing to them, they just carry on their part of the cycle relentlessly... it almost makes you feel completely insignificant when you are there. Almost :)
