HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I hope you all had a good a Christmas as me, and wish you all an amazing new years (-nye).

I LOVE MY FRIDGE

Beer, cheese, water, soup and a pie, all a girl could ever ask for.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

After seeing the Red hot chili peppers my life is now complete! Me, and 2 friends from back home had so much fun- we were about 5 people from the front!! Now I feel I've seen, pretty much, all the bands I would love to see.

THAILAND '12

So me and 2 other friends from college are on our way to Thailand next summer for a month! The trip involves trekking, touristing and volunteering and I can't wait! Though one speed bump is the fact I have to raise £3000... Probably should get a job... Any offers?

London is home, and home is sweet.

Living in London has been so amazing so far, I could not ask for a better life.  I've met some amazing people and already experienced the amazing life and surprises of London.  Now I want to share some of these memories with you and keep up to date with my blog - or try to.  Hope you enjoy my most recent pictures.

Catching up

So I haven't posted for a while because i've been so busy but here are just some memories of my amazing holiday! Next post hopefully i'll show some pictures of my flat and some with Pixie when she visits me Saturday!!

Mother Mother.

Right I just wanna express my love for this new band I found, 'Mother mother'.
- Cool, hip, upbeat music with a querky edge, hope you enjoy listening (2 of my favvss).

And here's some other music i've found entertaining over the past couple of days I would recommend listening to:

(Foster the people are so awesome! Totally gonna see them at Reading Festival).


-Hope you're enjoying your holidays!

Weekend.

So this weekend has pretty much drained the life out of me and the thought of waking up tomorrow to go to København to see Gala and Pixie at 5am is making me feel sick.  


Anyways had such an awesome first weekend back, catching up with friends as if nothing's changed and going out.

Vendredi, je suis allée à Camden avec mon cher ami, Becky, qui était cool quoique nous avons presque rencontré une mise en couteau et un détective de police.

Samedi, Harriet et moi sommes allées à le festival de la paix aprés une soirée à Smack, je me sentais trés fatiguée donc le meilleur remède était aller à Smack un autre soir.


Maintenent, je me sens fatiguée, hungover et je ne peux pas lire ce que j'écris...  Je n'avais pas installé mes affaires de Paris et maintenant je dois pack tous mes affaires parce que je vais aller à København jusqu'à Samedi. Bye till then, or as they say in Danish, farvel!

For Jane.

So basically yesterday was so chilled seeing Jane, Beth and Becky- went up to Newbold parc and watched the fantastic view of Leamington spa, the one and only town I come from and lived nearly all my life (Though it doesn't really compare to Paris hmmm. Paris, Leam, Paris, Leam?) Check out the pictures:

Oh and yesterday I went cycling with my friends and fell over. Fail.

I love how I haven't seen these girlies in over a month and nothing's changed.
(Hier, Je suis allée au parc avec Jane, Beth et Becky.  C'était génial même si je suis tombée de mon vélo. Fail.  Rien a changé avec mes amis, elles sont les mêmes que toujours.)

Home is home.

So i've officially moved back to England after living a year in Paris, as you can tell from this picture my room is a tip! Though it's good to be home and see my amazing family, i've missed them.

Nevertheless, have no time to clean it, had to get up early today for an Theory driving exam (ahem. Which I passed) and now i'm baking brownies and waiting to see my amazing friends which I haven't seen in over a month.

Baking reminds me of Nina-Miss you!

(Je suis retournée en Angleterre après une année à Paris, et la journée a commencé bien! - j'ai passé mon examen théorique de conduite et maintenant je cuisine des brownies et j'attends pour mes amis! Etre jaloux de ma cuisine fantastique! Au revoir.)

Memories of Paris:

This year has been the best year of my life, I have shared some amazing memories with some amazing people and here are just a couple which I treasure and some of my favourite places in Paris:

Smoking Shisha with friends

Gala's host family's house, basically stayed here with the gang every weekend

 Graffiti hunting with the amazing Gala, we've had some good afternoons doing that.

 The view from Montmatre is fantastic!

Minuit à Paris is amazing, Paris is so beautiful at night.

Tape bar (21 Rue de la Roquette) is about the coolest bar I've been to, really good scene and great mojitos at happy hour!

Le Marais, best place to go shopping and eat decent priced food- really chilled area with fantastic vintage shops.

And of course the girlies, gonna miss these guys!!

Anyway, I think that's all for tonight, probably missed out some stuff but oh well- going to enjoy my last sleep in my bed at Chambourcy before I have to move back to England tomorrow.

Night, gros bisous.

Last night in Paris

So this is my last night in Paris after being here since September i've just come back from Tape after saying a last goodbye to my friends (hopefully not forever) and wanted to show I love them all very much (here are some pictures below of them):

 Mamo (aka Marie-Monique)
