I love Wales: Rhosneigr

These panorama and holga photos are from our first evening in Wales - wasn't it a great start to the holiday? Just walking along the beautiful beach watching the sunset I felt all our worries and stresses blow away in the breeze...

I think it's as close to perfect as you could ever get...

Also the driver of the tractor gave me a smile and a wave which made my evening!

p.s. Hi to my newest followers

xxxJackie, Courtney Hope, Helen, Cassandra Marie and OceanDreams - so excited to have you here :)

Things I've learnt from blogs this week... (and last week)

This week has gone by so fast! I'm so glad its Friday! I have made a dent in my reader but its still on 1000+, sorry to everyone who I've over loaded with comments on their posts from last week - oops! I've doubling up the links this week to make up for not doing any last week (that and I found so many this week)

Back from holiday...

Hello! So I'm back to the real world and mildly stressed out by Leeds buses already... we had such an amazing 10 days though, I almost wish that it wasn't over. I did enjoy sleeping in our bed last night and using our shower this morning however...

We haven't had time to sort through all the photos from the week yet (we took 3 camera's in the end) but I will start going through them straight away - I can't wait to share them with you :)
But, first a massive thank you to my guest bloggers - Paulina, Clara, Wendy, Chelsea, Fallon and Alissa - weren't their posts just amazing!! I could access my email occasionally on my phone in Wales (the O2 signal there is not great) and it was wonderful seeing all the comments that everyone left in response.

Also the biggest thank you to Simon (mentioned here) my sister's boyfriend who rescued the week by making sure that they all got posted. I have no idea what happened but on Sunday, half an hour before we had to leave to catch the train Blogger decided that it didn't want to schedule my posts so he made sure each one was posted on the correct day (phew).

Another thank you to the lovely Nicole at My Teacups in Peony who featured our love story and my parent's love story as part of her It's a love story project. If you haven't seen this project then pop over and have a look - its actually perfect!!

and finally a big hello to all my new followers - Lille Diane, Vania, Lauzc87, Aquaheart, Shokoofeh, **Nicole**, Kirsty, Pixel Wild Child, Kim Bohstedt, Mina (check out this blog, I love!), Lathaj01 and Britt_Martin16 - If anyone has a blog I haven't linked to please let me know! My reader is currently well over 1000+ but I will try and get a chance to read everyone's blog as soon as I can!

What a weekend...

This weekend was lovely and weird at the same time, leaving me slightly confused and disorientated:

  • Lovely because I was in London, one of my favourite places ever.
  • Weird because I was really very happy to leave.
  • Lovely because I got to catch up with some old friends...
  • Weird because I felt so different from the last time I saw them - was it me or them?
  • Lovely because I got to wander around Oxford Street, Harrods and Covent Garden :)
  • Weird because I hardly took any photos and I missed my holga!
  • Lovely because I saw one of my old housemates
  • Weird that she was guiding me around London despite the fact I lived there for a year (weird and annoying... I should probably add)
  • Lovely because I got some macaroons
  • and lovely because I took them all the way home to share with Boyfriend who was eagerly awaiting my return... (and the macaroons after I talked about them so much!)
  • and even more lovely because he made me go for a walk along the canal with him despite the fact I was complaining about being tired... I'm so glad he did now!

Luckily lovely won out in the end (mainly because of Boyfriend) but the weirdness still lingers - causing me to question things I was pretty sure on before I left.... argh!

p.s. Hi to my latest followers Kate and Oli, Chris and the wonderful Megan :)
