Glad to be back!

Me on Tower Bridge, London

Here I am back at uni, sitting in a deserted media lab after a very long break. So what have I been up to?

Not long after breaking up from uni my boyfriend and I jumped on a train (first class no less!) down to London for a long weekend as a belated birthday celebration. We went to the transport museum, where I would of bought as many cool vintage travel posters as I could if Lee hadn't dragged me away and thankfully prevented my from spending all my money at once (I settled for a couple of postcards). We paid a visit to the London Museum and Tower Bridge museum and greatly enjoyed just wandered around soaking up the atmosphere doing many other touristy things on route.

A highlight was going to see Avenue Q, which I had wanted to see last time I was in London but it was taking a break. It was hilarious, they had the whole theatre in fits of laughter and gasps of "OhMyGoodnessCanYouBeliveTheyJustSaidThat?!". Brilliant, it was like watching a grownups version of Sesame Street, well worth the money. And as always when I go to a musical I was humming the songs for days and days after, although this time I was getting a few funny looks...!

And then I was off to Rome (Yes, another birthday present...!) with my Godfather. We spent a very relaxing week in the Italian countryside halfway up a mountain before hitting Rome. It was so rural we were the only tourists for miles and miles, quite a culture shock having spent a few days in London. The food and scenery were to die for. Rome was superb but far far to busy for my liking, I had a great time but would love to go back in the off season for a proper visit and to see the city a without feeling I am being swept along with the crowd.

Then I was off to Northumberland camping with my parents, a little less glamourous and a little damper than Rome or London but good fun all the same. Especially getting a fish supper and and ice cream in Seahouses. Yum.

And a spot of knitting on the beach...?!

When all my gallivanting was oven it was back to work in Rocket Cafe at Churchill (Morningside) in Edinburgh, which keep me busy very. It's a lovely little cafe and they do really good coffee, it was also very very busy!

More excitingly, I have also been working on a 'proper job', designing a website, which I will reveal a little later.

And a very good childhood friend had her first baby, a lovely little girl called Lily. As a birth present I designed and got printed thank you cards for her.

So I’ve been kept busy but am super happy to be back at uni.
