ZACHARY.

For the past seven years my big brother has been working towards becoming a registered stuntman....and he has officially made it! This past weekend, my immediate family (minus one, we missed you Tim) gathered together to celebrate and have our own little graduation.

I'm so proud of how hard he has worked and stuck to his dream despite obstacles. 

You are amazing Zach!

STARTING NOVEMBER IN STYLE.

This month kicked off with a trip to Oxford to visit my sister Asha along with another sister, Mia. The few days we were together for were really great and filled with long train journeys, exploring the city, country walks, keeping warm under blankets, a lot (but not too many) cookies and getting into the Christmas spirit! 

I am so grateful that this month has been and will be filled with family. Here are some photos of our time together.

BONFIRE NIGHT! (UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT THE BONFIRE...BUT THE FIREWORKS WERE WORTH IT).

TASTY HOT CHOCOLATES, TIMED PERFECTLY TO WATCH 'THE HOLIDAY'.

WE FOUND SOME FRIENDS! THEY WERE MORE INTERESTED IN THEIR FOOD THAN US.

Really loving all the Autumn colours right now and spending time reflecting on who God is. Here are three pictures in orange and green shades and three Psalms well worth a read over the weekend.

Have a great one!

SUMMER MEMORIES.

Here we are in a new week and it is pretty chilly! The layers are piling on and my shopping list is consisting of blankets, thermals and all things cosy. However, todays post is a bit more summery....

Whilst in Brittany back in August, I filmed a few of our days and have finally got round to putting them together as a little video. I blogged about this trip before but I've enjoyed reliving it recently.

Music - Bon Iver "Towers" a favourite song of mine.

Here are my photos from this trip.

Here's to a great week!

MY LEEDS/ A NIGHT AT THE THEATRE.

One evening last month, I spent a night at the theatre with a friend. Seeing a play is something I've been meaning to do for quite a while and it crosses another goal off my list. We saw The Crucible by Arthur Miller, put on by the West Yorkshire Playhouse. I had to read an Arthur Miller play when I was 16 as part of English Literature at school but didn't really know the story of The Crucible before. Although I've been lucky enough to see quite a few dance companies perform and multiple musicals this was one of a only a few plays I have made it to. It felt very 'grown-up', which I sometimes have to remind myself that I am, to see a serious play and it left me thinking a lot about injustice and human nature which you don't quite get in the same way from Wicked. Once I got past the idea that everyone was only going to talk at us, I really enjoyed trying something a little different. 

The staging was great and despite a few questionable American accents, it was all round pretty good though not the most heart-lifting story! This was the third time visiting the Playhouse and hopefully I'll be back soon.

THIS IS WHEN I AWKWARDLY SNUCK A PICTURE INSIDE THE THEATRE...
