Hello again & Thailand snaps

Long time, no blog! Hello again (if anyone still reads this...!) For some reason, this summer I haven't at all felt motivated in a creative way. I'm hoping to fall back in love with blogging soon, I don't want to force it as I truly believe a creative stream should be natural. I hate feeling like I have lost my creativity spark. I feel like my mind has been more anxious lately and it's probably linked to that. For some reason on this August Sunday I suddenly felt compelled to start writing and start sharing photos from the past few months. Let's hope my creativity is picking up! I hope so.

Thought i'd share some of my photos from our holiday in Thailand earlier this summer. We tried to squeeze in as much as we could in a two week holiday and visited Bangkok, Khao Sok National Park and Koh Tao with quite a few ferries, buses and overnight trains in between! We had a great mixture of city, jungle and island living which is exactly what we wanted. We were It really was an amazing trip and it has given me itchy feet to properly explore and backpack around SE Asia.

July in France

I have only just got around to going through my photos from Brittany. I was unusually busy last week, with plans every weekday night (I am never usually that social in the week, I even surprised myself!). This week has felt a bit like coming back to reality after a holiday and a festival. It's my birthday on Thursday and have a couple of surprises at the weekend from my nearest and dearest to look forward too, including the inevitable meals out, so the end of this week is looking good! I am currently going through my photos from Lounge on the Farm, and shall post them soon. It was a good festival, not the best one i've been too, but still rather enjoyable.

So here are a few photos from France - I usually take way more photos of food, it's never normally this warm so I suppose the beach was a little more distracting....

Bonjour from Bretagne!

My grandparents' French cottage with an added Grandpa plus a lovely reflection of my legs!

I am here at my grandparents' place in Brittany, France. Aled & I realised we couldn't really afford the holiday to Barcelona we were wanting, but could afford flights to my grandparents. I am very lucky to have relatives that live abroad - always a great place for a last minute holiday!

 I reluctantly went for a run this morning which was hard but I really enjoyed it. It was so refreshing to run outside and in the beautiful, sunny countryside, which makes a slight change from Fitness First in Shepherds Bush. I am currently using my grandparents' French laptop and it's taken me an age just to write this post because the keyboard isn't a qwerty one. It is rather weird not being able to type so quickly as normal.

I am looking forward to a relaxing week. Days with my grandparents usually include country walks, discovering new towns and lots of delicious French food. Heaven!

J'espère que vous avez une bonne semaine et je serai bientôt de retour avec beaucoup de photos!

Belle Bretagne

I had such a lovely, relaxing time in France visiting my grandparents. The holiday consisted mostly of markets, walks in the countryside, home cooked food and not much else! It's a such a pretty quiet little part of Brittany and even though i've been many times, it never gets old! So many little quaint villages and authentic Breton touches. A definite contrast to London town.
