Preface to a beginning

Long time no post.

Since my whole life is about to change drastically I thought I'd write a blog post seeing as I have essentially left my blog to become buried under three thousand feet of sand. I am ecstatic to say that I have finally finished secondary school (cue screams of delight and intense joy) and I earned the mark I was working furiously for. I also met my conditions for university so Psychology here I come!

What with moving to Scotland far sooner that I am mentally prepared for, everything is changing and the butterflies in my stomach have conveniently multiplied significantly. I cannot wait to start university, but I am absolutely terrified at the same time. I'm going to miss all my friends dearly, and starting anew will be difficult. However, I am determined to stay positive as this is a spectacular opportunity and I cannot wait to begin something completely unknown. I am so excited to move and experience new things!

So, what with enjoying my last week in Belgium and attempting (because I have barely started) to pack up all my belongings into suitcases, I feel very jumpy. Due to the fact that I have moved around a lot, my mind has come to detest suitcases, so the very thought of packing makes me sigh distastefully. I also can't really come to terms with the fact that I'll be moving away from home as my course doesn't actually start for quite a while. It also means that I have to limit my packing and leave behind some belongings (gracious, I'll have to cut down on shoes). It's becoming a gloomy affair, as I realised that everything I own is simply 'stuff'. I own quite a fair amount of clothes, but it's all quite meaningless really. I always feel that way when I'm travelling, that nothing really matters about from the passport, the ticket and the money. Everything else is irrelevant. I think that may be slightly pessimistic.

I've been doing a little travelling these past two weeks, and I thought I'd add a few snaps to show what I've been up to.



New Forest icecream

Being artsy on the beach with reverse dinosaur spines

Dorset beach 

6am lonely walk in the sunrise (camping is definitely not my thing)

the BEST BREAKFAST I HAVE EVER MADE (this is me preparing for the cafe I will own)

I made scones and we had an English high tea

I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo (it's taking quite a while to read) and I absolutely adore it! I'm wrapped up in Dumas' world of deceit and murder.

Right I'm away to make mini apple crumbles for dessert tonight! Yes, I do always think about food. I really do want to own a cafĂ©. It will be filled with avocados.
