York

I dream of better days. I remember hazy spring days when we were children, you were always bigger than me, always stronger. I remember the white days of winter when we were lost deep in the woods building snow men.  I want to reach into my childhood and tell myself to thank you for all that have ever done for me. I want to tell you how much you mean to me.

 I lie on the damp grass where you slumber underneath and I listen, wanting you to talk to me. I once dreamt of you standing by the ocean, waiting for me. You told me that you could never go home. You were so serene against the velvet skies of my dreams and I wanted to capture you and keep you in my heart, forever alive. But I awoke feeling lost.

The desperation of wanting you back ways heavier every day. I remember whispering in your ear come back to me knowing that you never will.

Yorkshire love.

I was sitting in Starbucks messing around with my camera (when I should have been doing my dissertation work) when I realised that I don't really have any photos of York. I finish university in May so I thought that I would start taking photos of things that I find beautiful here in York. I thought that I would take a few photos a week and post them on here. Enjoy!

Sorry- this one is a bit blurry!

Who said romance was dead?

Hello! First and foremost I would like to say hello to my new followers! I haven't had any new ones in ages but I think that was due to my lack of posting. But I'm feeling more inspired to write recently. Always good news.
These past few days have been pretty lovely, I can't not brag to be honest. I was feeling pretty low because I was homesick and missing my boyfriend, then, out of nowhere, he surprised me by appearing in my living room! I was so completely delighted. He took me out to Nandos and then we went out for cocktails and got  merry. I was so completely happy. We went to Evil Eye Lounge where we enjoyed our very strong cocktails (one that we shared had Rum and Bohemian Absinthe in, yumm). We went to Evil Eye with our two friends Ruth and Noah, who are also in love. Anyway I won't tell you the full details of the evening and I'm pretty sure it will all sound sickly sweet to you. All I know is that I'm very lucky and very happy in life! I really hope the rest of you enjoy Valentine's, whether it is with a special someone or not.

The sad truth.

If you know me there is one definitive feature of my personality- I love cats. Not in the sense that I think "Oh there's a cat. How cute!" but more like "Oh my fucking god, how cute is that cat?! Come here kitty..." *slips cat into my bag*. It's almost unhealthy. But I realised that my love is more of an obsession when I was just flicking through some holiday photos... 

This is the Coliseum. If you click on this you can actually see the cat against the wall.

Funny story about this. This is also Rome and this is the location where Caesar was killed. My father was beyond annoyed that I actually didn't take a photo of the entire place. Only this cat...

So as you can see... I have an issue. At my house, here in York, we (as in I) have encouraged a few cats to stop by. I have cat food in my cupboard. But back at home (in County Durham) I have my one true pet- Sally. She's the laziest, fattest cat ever. But I love her.
