beauty all around

I'm going to post a picture every day this week of something lovely.
Today's picture is of the river running through Saltaire- the river Aire

Wet Summer

Every summer what I'd like to do is swim and paddle and canoe in rivers, lakes and seas
Every summer I sit at home or in a sodden tent and hear the rain stream down
I'd really like a sunnier summer

Going home again

This summer I'm moving house, yet again
This time I'm leaving the beautiful city of Bradford where I've lived for 7 years and heading back to my parent's house in south Manchester.
Really its not that far- an hour door to door driving
but I don't drive
I also don't really know anyone apart from my parents there any more
I'm a bit nervous

and I'll miss Bradford

Mumford and sons

I love Mumford and Sons

I've had their album constantly in cd player since I bought it

I was lucky enough to go and see them in July and they were absolutely fantastic

They played in St George's Hall in Bradford which is a beautiful venue. I'd love to see them again

winter warmth

I'd love a new cozy scarf type thing

I've seen these type of scarves called cowls and snoods and infinity scarves

whatever they're called, I quite fancy one this winter

take flight

Taking chances
letting go
its the scariest thing but whats the worst that could happen

This year I left my job to go back to college to do a post graduate teaching qualification, its very full time and pretty taxing as I'm in school or college all day and then have assignments and paperwork and planning and reading to do at the same time
I am happier than I have been for awhile
I feel on my way to achieving my identity and being where I want to be
I'm having lots of fun with the other people who are doing the course
I never thought I'd be a teacher but I think it will be a good fit for me
its all very exciting

are you taking new challenges?

something beautiful
