Summer

As I sit here in an autumnal jumper and listening to the rain falling outside I have realised that autumn has kind of snuck up on us. Don't get me wrong I was aware that it was coming, but the past couple of days the temperature had noticeably dropped. Autumn is in full swing and I have been reflecting on the summer that has just waved good bye to us.

Summer always brings with it longer days and shorter nights. Warmer temperatures even when its raining. A bright and wonderful colour show brings us something different each day with nature taking centre stage. Going into the garden and picking fruit/vegetables that you have been waiting for a couple of months to be just right. Having a day in the park and a picnic with your cousins. Sometimes summer can trick us into  thinking that it has gone for good but the sneaks back on us in September and squeezing every last bit of what it has. The anticipation and excitement of the arrival of a new family member whilst still enjoying the older ones. Summer, its been great and now it is over to the ever changing autumn. 

Dubai Diaries: Travelling

At the end of august my sister and her family got to go to Dubai for a month. I was really happy for her but there was small part of me that wanted to go as well seeing it had been about 6 years since I had been on a holiday. About a week before they were going to go my mum suggested that I should go and see them while they were out there. So next thing you know I'm booking my plane tickets, hotel room and getting very excited to go to Dubai for a week. This was the first time I was travelling abroad on my own and I was rather excited. I watched a couple of films, read my book and had some surprisingly good plane food and before I knew it I was in Dubai. So here is just a little video of my flight and getting to my hotel.

Sunshine

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. The sun was shining, it was a bank holiday, I had a day off work so I took full advantage of the relaxation time. We spent most of the day in the garden, even my grandma, who doesn't really get out, sat in the garden for a bit. Me and my mum went out for a bit and en route home we stopped off at supermarket and treated ourselves to some ice lollies. So all in all it was a lovely day.
