a catch up

I love blogging but I hate posting everyday. It just feels like it isn't enough time for people to read your thoughts and see your pictures. It isn't enough time to get feed back and despite all of this...it is hard work. I like time to read your blogs and catch up on your lives. If I am writing everyday I never get time to read or...live? Those of you who post everyday or most - I applaud you. What are your secrets?!

On Friday night me and a good friend headed up to the cinema to see Titanic in 3D. Simply amazing and simultaneously devastating. We walked out and strategically kept our 3D glasses on...! Yesterday, despite the dire weather - was a brilliant day. I bought some lovely nautical accessories for my bedroom and it is in the process of looking very stylish. We then hired out two films, Hugo and The Help. As previous mentioned, I read The Help over Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been debating as to whether I should see the film but then decided that if it corrupted my images and memory of the book, I would just have to re-read during the Summer! 

Anyway, here are a few snaps from Sunday...





My lovely Grandad

just driving.

Oxford
Tuesday morning we left for Oxford! It was really nice to get away and escape this area for a bit. My dad had a meeting up there and we decided to head up with him (my mum, brother and myself). We just explored the city and went round the shops were I bought a polka dot shower poncho!! The sun was shinning beautifully, as you can see in the pictures, and you could actually feel that the weather was warming up a bit for Spring. I decided against taking my camera around with me because I don't have a good bag for it at the moment. I just used my iPod touch as a slightly lame substitute. It doesn't take a bad picture though, I should cut it some slack. I drunk two pots of tea in my favourite coffee shop and also found a Boost Juice. I drunk so many in Australia and couldn't believe I actually found one in England. It was seriously, an dream come true. After all this excitement! we drove to our Travelodge.  After a freshen up we went next door for dinner and then headed back for a nice early night.

The next day we drove up to Cheltenham and looked round my potential University. It was amazing. The course sounded perfect, the campus - so picturesque and the vibe was really friendly. It was definitely a successful day.

We had a really nice couple of days away and as we drove back (3-4hours) we listened to our favourite radio station, Magic. My favourite song to listen to whilst driving home has to be Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. I always wish we could keep driving. I just love being in the car, especially at night. Seeing all the lights in the distance, watching cars woossh past, the music in the background and feeling like a million miles away from everything. I can't explain it.

On the drive home

Hope you are all having a great week! Let me know what you have been up to? What is your favourite song to listen to on long car journeys?
