Birthday

I have had such a lovely birthday and feel blessed to have lovely lovely friends to share it with! 

The day started slowly as I opened my cards in bed and a lovely parcel from home full of goodies that will definitely make me fat along with some paper hearts made by my lovely sister. We then ventured to the beach for brunch which was yum and very filling! Then went for a little walk on the misty beach where we found a starfish (!) after throwing it into the sea we thought it was dead and as it washed onto shore again Jess picked it up only to realise it's tentacles were still moving which was quite a shock. We took it to the the rock pool...so we saved a starfish!! 

Me and Hannah (flatmate) then wondered along the high street only to be inspired by the shop windows and decided that a trip to Trago was in order to create something ... creative? And you can see from the photos Hannah's beautiful creations :)   

If anyone is interested in purchasing one of Hannah's creations let us know ;)

And some photos which I didn't upload from the other day in the beautiful sunshine as me and Jess went to explore the daffodil fields by campus (after crossing the scarily suicidal main road :/)

Campus just across the road...

The sun has arrived!

This weekend has been so lovely and I realised that throughout the winter I completely forget the feeling of the warm sun, which is so lovely! One thing I do regret now is not having  taken more photos...I must admit that these are the only two photos I took all weekend which is crazy being a photography student. I think sometimes I just feel myself wanting to "enjoy" a day and have an experience where I am not conscience of documenting everything and basically experiencing it through a camera. But I really don't think that this should be the case.

It feels like I haven't been doing anything productive at all, I went to the beach twice this weekend which was lovely and busy! I can remember being on beaches and seeing groups of students and thinking how nice it would be to just be able to meet up with your friends and go to the beach, and now...living the dream haha! It was a nice relaxing day, no stress, no obligations to be anywhere or do anything, just be. 

Sunday I managed to wake up naturally in time for church despite getting to sleep at 4, and the whole day I felt really wide awake, it was very unnatural. I spent the day sat in the sun talking and not really doing much-hence the feeling of unproductiveness. In the evening I went to 'Vertical' which is a night of worship and it was amazing, there was so much energy that by 11 when it finished after 4 hours I was definitely ready for bed! 

Below the only two photos of the weekend
