On Saturday I had one of the best days of the summer so far, bursting with sunshine, food and a whole lot of photo taking – you could’ve been anywhere in the world yet it was England.
I’ve said in posts before about being a tourist in your own home and how it’s great for mindfulness (woop for the use of a trendy, cliche word) but it’s true; just walking about under the trees, by the sea and capturing this in a lasting memory, it was a truly great day. I just love exploring and going somewhere new, I have have the urge to jump on a plane the minute I land in England but days like this quenched my thirst; there is a beauty in the place I live you just had to do a little looking.
It was the first time I’ve properly been able to get my camera out and take photos outside and it was great, I didn’t realise how much I love photography but I do; even if I’m nowhere near Rankin standard. I’m really pleased with the photos I (and my lovely friend Ellie) took and I couldn’t not share them, the happiness of the day just seeps through the image.
There should be a proper outfit post of this look coming up next week and it also happens to tick off one of the things on my summer bucketlist (to actually take some outdoor outfit photos). This year more than any other I’ve wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I have. I’m hardly Bear Grylls and I’m not about to run a marathon, nor has my fear of bees subsided but I’m getting there. I just hope that can continue in the 4 months we have left; nope still can’t quite believe that we only have four months left of 2016, it’s gone unbelievably quickly.
If there are any posts or topics you would like me to write about definitely let me know as I always love your input into what I write; I’m not doing any back to school posts this year purely because not much would’ve changed from what I wrote last year (other than sorry but posts will definitely be more sporadic this year due to GCSE’s) but I am doing an organizational post at the start of September and I’m going to do revision tips nearer the time of my exam. However, if you would like me to write some school related posts (and on what topic) then let me know and I will do the best I can to write them.
I’ll finish with this totally blurry yet candid photo of me looking back to see if my friend had taken the photo of me but really hoping she was taking a photo of me turning round 🙂 what’s your favourite place in your home country and why?
