I heart Cologne

I went to Cologne at the weekend, with my friend Mel to see our friend Nina

{who lives there}.

We had the most amazing time catching up,

being silly and exploring the city

mel and me waiting and waiting and waiting at the airport...

me and one of the many trendy cafes where we ate brunch

inside the most beautiful cathedral

Cologne is such a nice city, it's small and has trams {which i adore} and is full of lovely, lovely people.

my highlights from the weekend:

eyebrow waxing {long story....!}

finding Sky Bar which was located on the roof of a car park completely hidden away

spending a whole day in the most amazing {naked!} german spa

I pretty much adore you..... A lot

You show me constant love and support, this i adore. 

You make me laugh like no one else. 

You put my mind at ease and make me remember the important things in life, rather than the little horrid things that leave me sleepless at night. 

I couldn't ask for a better partner, best friend and clown. Thank you for believing in me, when i forget to!

{p.s sorry i've been a monster recently}

cupcakes!

excuse the no make up and bad hair!

so in case you haven't noticed {from all my moaning!} glen has been working a lot recently - on a new film called the kid {based on a true story}. he's really enjoying it and it sounds like it will be amazing when it's finished. i'm so proud of him but i miss him so much when he's working.

anyhooooooo, the other night after i had a horrid day, glen brings me back a cupcake from work. which i like to add was made by Keira Knightley {it was wheat free and yummy!}. i'm a huge fan of hers -okay she was pretty bad in pirates of the Caribbean, but... what an amazing performance she pulled off in Atonement.

I have had the most wonderful weekend. I've never felt so content, comfortable and well blissfully happy. I am so lucky to have so many amazing people in my life. 

Anyway highlights from my weekend -  

1. seeing my gorgeous mum and sister. we moved lots of boxes {my sisters moving} and ate cupcakes whist gossiping.
2. late night cinema date with Glen. we went to see Star Trek, I loved it by the way.
3. sleeping in on Sunday and waking up with glen still in the bed {for the first time in a month!}
4. going to London fields lido { two weekends in a row!} and day dreaming about the future whilst glens arms were round me. 
5. eating fish and chips in the park on a lazy sunday evening

I love my life. I have up and down days - more so recently than ever before. 

but i am so grateful for all the opportunities i have been given. 

happiness

I had the loveliest weekend. 

my friend nat and i danced to pop songs like two little girl's, without a care in the world. went to the lido in london fields and basked in the beautiful sunshine. stubbled upon borough market (amazing food!).  and was taken out for dinner by the best and funniest person i know(glen).  I’m just so annoyed i forgot my camera!

it’s now bank holiday monday and i’ve also had a great day meeting friends for a swim and going for a yummy thai lunch. This is what life's all about - enjoying it! 

i’ve been really stressed recently. i haven’t worked since i got back from India, which has been a while and i’ve been struggling with not being creative, productive and well just using my brain. this is one of the reasons i started this blog. i wanted to write my feelings here like i would a diary, and honestly it has kept me sane. i look forward to taking photo’s and having fun day’s out, so that i can share it here. 

  although i’ve had day’s where i’ve felt lonely, sad and had a few too panic attacks about the future. I’m glad that i’ve had this time to get to know myself more. i lost myself in work at the end of last year. i was unhappy, stressed and not fulfilled in my job.

  i’ve never been one to think that life is all about work, i’ve always wanted to travel and this is why at 18  i flew around the world on my own. i’ve realised that i’m so lucky to have the opportunities that i’ve been given. 

  Anyway this brings me to tell you that I’ve just got a job and although i’m slightly nervous, i’m also excited and anxious. I don’t know if my chosen careers right for me anymore, but i’m going to be patient and see what happens. i still don’t know what i want to be when i’m older but right now i’m okay with that. 

I also just want to say thanks to glen, my family and friends for supporting me these few months and sorry i’ve been a little emotional at times. 

I love you.
