Typical!

I was going to start this blog by saying something like; "Same old me, never getting round to doing yet another thing - saying I will blog as much as possible, and still not...". 
However, I won't.
I will start it by saying this:

Hello lovely blog world! Same old me: doing things how I want, when I want - aren't I lucky?
Yes.  That's much better.

SO.  I am back in Lancaster, after a 5 week stint visiting family and friends in Vancouver. WOW.  Hectic.
All together enjoyable, and all together happy with returning as well! ...suprisingly...
I have spent the last 2 1/2 years of my life HERE and always wanting to be THERE.  Now, I've spent an enourmous (and wonderful) holiday there....It appears that the tide has changed. 
I suppose it happened after having such an amazing time, and realizing just how incredibly lucky I am.  For...EVERYTHING.  I have an amazing, supportive, funny, BEAUTIFUL family, and equally as like friends.  They are all blessed with intelligence, heart, humour, ambition, sense, the list goes on and on and on.  On top of that, I come from such a beautiful place where such beautiful people grow in abundance, and also have this amazing opportunity to live on the other side of the world, doing my own thing, with the man of my dreams.....does it get much luckier?  The world is my oyster!!
SO - what am I doing wasting my time pining over a place that carries on, on the other side of the world, when I have this great opportunity right in front of me?  And I have such AMAZING friends here too!
Okay. Rant over.  I guess what I'm saying, is that I have decided to stop wanting, wishing, waiting.  And will start being, appreciating, taking, DOING, and enjoying :).
And I'm so excited for it.

I love my family x

LIFE! XO


It's proven; every time I feel unmotivated or down for any reason, I can look at my photos and be reminded of how incredible my life is, and to never take any of it for granted. <3


On that note - I'm going to make curtains! Haha.  Which brings us to recent news: Will and I are moving! yay!  And the new place has HUGE windows, that need to be covered! So, here is my set up:

OLD Radiogram playing records, rummaged 1960's chair, and ancient sewing machine atop!

My friend Kerri and I were at the new empty house extremely late crafting it up and eating stirfry!  It was fantastic.  She made cards for her penpals across the sea while i tried my hand at making curtains.  They are far from perfect, but will cover the windows and the fabric is ace!  Who cares if they're not Liberty...they're mine!  Not Laura Ashley's!

Okay.  I've done my motivational blah-blah's for the day, and have said things my older sister would be sick at (she's not the sentimental type....just the mental type), and I'm sure later in the week I'll roll my eyes at my own cheese too - but TODAY, today it works.  And that's all I'm living for :)

Here's to Today XO

  1. I feel the same about missing/ pining for home in a similarly cheeseball way - but you're right, everything in England is awesome and Vancouver will always be there, and visits only make it more special. Enjoy! xox Morgan
