a big beautiful update


So, you ask, what have you been up to this summer?  Well.






I have traipsed around Avebury, home to an ancient collection of stones, where ribbons and sepia artifacts dangle freely from trees


Got a little job in the beautiful village of Lacock and enjoyed sneaky slices of cake from behind the reception desk




Scrambled over rocks with a belly full of ice cream in the seaside town of Lynmouth


Waffled a beautiful big veggie feast and several pots of Chocca Chai in the comfort of a special friend's new home


Experienced my first chimnea barbeque


Baked my first batch of (semi-catastrophic) cupcakes with my partner in crime



I suppose the biggie would be that I've moved house...




...To the oh-so-beautiful town...



...of Bradford on Avon (there will always be a place in my heart for you, Bath)...




...Had the best time imaginable...




...At Green Man Festival, in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, in great crevasses of mud



And stayed in a woodland yurt with a beautiful family...






...scavenging the breadth of Dorset for unusual photographs in a battle to beat the boys



I think we know who won, right girls?

Thankfully Autumn is my favourite of the four seasons, so although I will be sad to wave goodbye to the summer once more, I can't wait to snap up a new woolly hat and stroll through crisp sunny breezes in my boots, crunching yellow leaves and saying hello to a new and exciting phase of my life.  My dissertation I'm looking forward to less.  Swings and roundabouts!
