Winter is here, and she's early.

Winter has arrived in London, and she's come early this year. Bringing with her cold wind and the excuse to wear animal hats and earmuffs. Yesterday my mum and I decided to go on a charity shop trip in one of our local towns. We didn't really last very long though due to the fact that we were absolutely freezing.

Anyway I did manage to purchase this lovely vintage bag for £4. Its worn brown leather and is just big enough to fit in my purse and phone.

I am in love with it! What did you purchase this weekend? Comment! x

A plan in the making..

Me and my best friend have decided to do everything on this list, from start to finish. So that in the end, we will have no regrets and no disappointments.

Beautiful beacon

Walking. Not my favourite way to spend a Saturday, especially when you only got half a nights sleep and the suns blinding yet somehow still freezing you half to death. But I actually had a lovely day today. After sitting in the house all morning, wrapped in a blanket and happily watching friends re-runs, my mum decided I needed some fresh air. So we put on our warmest clothes (I got to wear my earmuffs, woo!) and headed out to the  beautiful countryside of Ivanhoe Beacon. A village about thirty minutes from my town. It was such a lovely place, full of subtle beauty and secret paths.

I even managed to get a picture of the sun setting over the fields. Although, as you can see it temporarily damaged my camera, the light was so bright!
These pictures really don't do the beautiful place justice.
Enjoy!

Let the tears pour little one..

         

My two weeks at Elmtree school are over, and it definitely went to quick. I never expected it possible to get so attached to a group of people in just a fortnight. At the end of my last day yesterday, when I was being showered with pieces of paper decorated with the priceless colourings of these young children, I couldn't help but worry that I may never see some of them ever again. As they all threw their arms around my waist begging me not to go, I couldn't help letting a few tears escape.

So when I arrived home yesterday, after moping around for a few hours, my mum insisted on dragging me out to the cinema to try and take my mind of things. So I sat through some terrible comedy, feeling sorry for myself.

But waking up this morning I feel better, and I can now look back on my past two weeks, with no regrets and feeling proud that I made such an impact on these children.

These are the gifts I got at the end of my two weeks.

Mummy, I'm a working girl now

Theres something quite magical about children. They are so naive, so accepting and so.. simple. Easy to get along with and frankly, more interesting than most adults I have met. Which is why the last two weeks of my life, I have found utter bliss.

I have been working at a Primary school in my small town, the very primary school I went to in fact. I have loved every minute of it, and really don't want to return to normality next Monday. After two weeks of playtime and colouring, GCSE maths is looking worse than it ever has. 

Am I wrong to say that a child may actually be better company than anybody else? When upset, who better to turn to than a child, whose smiling face could cheer up even the worst of people. Isn't there something amazing about a young person who you barely even know offering their hand to you beaming.

I have found these past two weeks truly amazing and when I return to the bleak corridors of secondary school, I know I will miss the smiling faces of my new found friends.

This is the outfit I wore today.
