Bee Went Camping

Hello everyone!

Long time, no post! At the tail end of last week, Luke and I, along with his two brothers and sister in law, headed down to Cornwall to get away from it all. Copious amounts of BBQ food was consumed and a billion layers were worn to combat the freezing cold British nights (read: I wore a top, two tees, a long sleeved top, 2 thick jumpers, tights, jeans, 3 pairs of pj bottoms, two pairs of socks, slippers and a snood whilst cowering under three layers of bedding and my coat!) Despite the painful lows of the weather, camping was still awesome! Although, I'm pretty happy to be back in the comfort of my own bed. I've still not got the internet where I'm living at the moment so I'm completely out of touch with the online world! It's a weird feeling but I think I might pop to Luke's tomorrow and steal his internet so that I can catch up with all the goings on! I'll be back soon with some more of my camping photographs (I'm horrendously running out of time right now!!) <3 

Bee's Photobomb: My Adopted Hometown

Winter pretty much kills my chances of heading to one of my favourite parts of my adopted hometown so when the sunshine recently graced the skies I thought it was the perfect opportunity to catch some rays and give you an insight into my surroundings. I was looking at analytics recently and it astounded me to see where some of my readers live, from good ol' UK to tucked away in Texas, from France to Indonesia. Therefore, I thought it'd be quite nice for you guys to see where I spend my days because I always find it quite interesting to see my favourite bloggers' natural habitats; it's a tonic to my own wanderlust and helps me to understand their experiences. As you can see, I live by the seaside; I've always lived by the shore and I know I'll find it pretty difficult if I ever have to prise myself away from it. I call this my 'adopted' hometown because this is where I live whilst I study at university; it's a lot larger than home but it's still pretty cosy in its own way.  These photographs were taken on different days, as you can tell by the warmer/colder juxtaposition! You can see other photographs that I've taken of my adopted hometown HERE. 


Hometown aside, this week has been a bit of a strange one. I've not really done much of note apart from plan things. We are off further down the coast tomorrow to visit family before heading out for some fresh fish and a blu-ray night with Luke's brothers and gorgeous Brazillian wife. I'm pretty looking forward to it. In this next week, I'm hoping to get week in photos posts up and maybe do some photo an hour posts because I want to get Viva back into the lifestyle swing of things. How does that sound? I will also have a sketchbook update up ASAP as an absolute shed load of you seem to be looking forward to it! You lot are a mad bunch ;) Would anyone be interesting in a creative writing tips/inspo post too? Tell me what you'd like to see in the comments!


By the way, If you've done a post on hotspots in your hometown, leave them in the comments and I'll have a gander! I quite liked doing this post so if you'd like to see more like this, I'd be happy to show you specific areas of interest and/or the local food that is on offer....Let me know! What's your hometown like? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I'll see you soon, have a lovely weekend!

What with the outrageously gorgeous weather, Luke and I decided to leave the flu-ridden flat and catch some sunshine in my new hometown! It's technically a city but 'homecity' doesn't really have a ring to it, does it :/ We headed out armed with a bottle of water and a point and shoot ready to just chill out and escape the pile of work that I've already got to get my head around. As ever, we didn't stray far from the coast and lapped up a lot of fresh sea air that has consequently made me feel a lot better! I honestly think that I was a seagull in a past life because I can never stray too far from the shore. We decided to walk in a direction that we haven't done so before and in turn ended up in a completely new borough. I'm so glad we did because we came across some beautiful pastel coloured houses that I'd love to make my own, Arthur Conan Doyle quotes galore and a pretty little patch of beach. We even stumbled across two weddings - sweaty wedding photos, ahoy! I don't think I'd fancy donning a heavy wedding dress on a day like today! It was the best little walk to take my mind off of being horrendously ill and that terrifying piece of creative writing; which I will have to tackle once this blog post is published!

It certainly doesn't feel like October at all. I'm having to drag out the summer dresses from the back of the wardrobe. I swear my knitwear is feeling a little left out! I'm afraid I'll have to leave it here because Luke can't go without 4 minutes without attention, haha. I'm off to go and do a little Poundland shop (3 cans for £1!!) before settling down to write. I'll be back tomorrow with even more photos of the seaside - woops!
