Portugal

So as I may have mentioned several times I went to Portugal last weekend to visit my boyfriend who is living there for a few months (surf bum) He's taking a well deserved break from crazy london life and currently living here in the most beautiful little town, staying in a house with the most spectacular views you could imagine.

It just so happened that my trip fell on Valentines weekend (funny that!) lots of romantic times were had and needless to say I've fallen in love with Portugal, the people and the FOOD (Bread/Jam/Cheese/Ham) We both ate so well over the weekend, I'm pretty sure the bread in Baleal is the best I've ever tasted.

I took with me my XA2 with B&W film (photos still to be developed) and of course my trusty Fuji Instax 210. These are just a few pretty pictures from the trip, if you'd like to see more click here for my Flickr

Valentines- Yes I know I'm late

I just wanted to share my homemade effort at a Valentines card...

It only took 2 packs of film to get 3 photos I liked, oh an the patience of my best friend Katie who laughed at my cheesy poses like only your best friend can.

Once mounted on coloured card I wrapped them in meaningful emails, from the first one he ever sent, to the one that changed everything, much better than a bunch of flowers and a card from Smiths ;)

Hope you had a lovely Valentines day.

I'm EXHAUSTED from a weekend of doing this

Normal service will resume after a looooooong bath filled with 4 lush bath bombs, cause that's how I roll.

Toodles

Bruised

Yesterday morning in Leigh Valley Park as the sun rose the sky looked like it had been bruised.

Sometimes I'm convinced the weather reflects how I feel, today London is grey hmmmm.

I heart these posters

I always search for little snippets of wisdom from others, they usually turn up in sweet posters like the ones below.
