Needs a date for new years

Plan: Dublin for 25ish pounds.

If interested you can apply for a chance to be my date... Might even buy you a fleur.

And to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end.

JK Rowling - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Leicester Square

Getting ready for their arrival!

Harry Potter!

Hermione Granger

The Twins! Fred and George!

Malfoy (who was actually very nice)

How can I possibly explain in words how wonderful this experience was? I can't. If that happens to be my last adventure for a little while I am more than ok with it!

Oh Harry Potter and the gang, I do love you.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

Much love!

might paint something that i wanna hang here someday

I would be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated by not working. It is scary because when I am not in a classroom I get nervous and I question if I should be in there at all. I second guess my abilities to work with kids and if I know my shit well enough. I had a half day on Friday and the mome

nt I walked into the classroom it was like I was meant to be there all along. Mind you the kids were well behaved and kind so that makes my desire to work with them much more stronger. I was more myself! I smiled more, laughed with them, sat and thought out ideas for their assignments. It felt right and I missed it. Overall it was an excellent day on Friday! I didn't even mind that it took me 3.5 hours to get home and I had to stand in the rain for 30 minutes before my travels. If that did bother me I best be moving to a drier countr

y.

When I arrived home it was still raining so we didn't end up going to the

fireworks for Guy Fawkes Day. As much as I love fireworks I was not prepared to stand in the rain to watch them. Hilary and I made curry and ate "it's Friday cake" from waitrose and heard firecrackers going off. What were firecrackers early in the night started to turn into a huge fireworks display ALL over the neighbour and city. My view out my bedroom window is pretty damn amazing and all night the were going off! It was beautiful!! We didn't have to go anywhere at all!!

Saturday greeted us with sunshine so we got out our camera and headed to Clifton Village. If any

of you com

e and visit me this will be one of our big stops. It is the cutest little place in the world! Full of coffee shops, local food, amazing restaurants, little shops, etc. You can always walk through it to get to the suspension bridge! We were trying to make our way to Ashton Court which is a huge estate with walking trails and a deer farm. Yep, just a bunch of deer hanging ou

t enjoying life! Sadly we didn't make it but we had quite the adventure.

I neglected to tell you that we had an interesting experience in Poland involving a dangerous highway. Poland has the highest rate of death on their highways because they drive too fast and pass people all the time. It's scary driving on it

so you can imagine my fear when Hilary and I go for a walk on our last day and we come to this busy road that we have to walk on OR take the route we just took. The route itself was a TINY bit scary but only for me. I don't watch horror movies anymore but I have seen enough to know that people come over of corn fields, there are scary things in woody areas, and ponds are filled with things beyond your wildest imaginations. So I had no idea where we were but I was still very much enjoying myself but with scary horror flicks running through my head... Then we get to the highway. It's not like a Canadian highway with 4+ lanes it's a small 2 lane highway still packed with fast cars and transfer trucks. When a car would come towards us we would have to walk on the grassy area which would also be cove

red in poison ivy. Needless to say my heart was racing the whole time and I said some hail marys. I survived and now it is a funny story we remember together. Yesterday, a similar incident happened where I thought a certain road would take us to Ashton Court. Wrong, just took us to the highway. So we chanced it crossed it to a "footpath" with wet slippery leaves and heaved ourselves up the hill with the help of a tree. Good times. Then we came home to the city continuing with the fireworks!

We are alive and have some lovely pictures and I had a grand sleep because I was tuckered out from our adventures!

Well hello November!

It's a cloudy morning in Bristol and I hoping the rain holds off so I can venture to the library at 10 to print off some resumes. There is a new health food/local food/organic/amazing/ veggie friendly store that just opened and they need a part-time employee for Thursdays and Saturdays. I think I would volunteer at that store so if they are willing to pay me I'm very down with that. (The Better Food Company <----- check me out!)

I bought my tickets to go to London on November 11th-13th. They are having the Harry Potter premiere that day and I am going to try out my stalking skills and see if I can see some of my favorite characters! I may have mentioned it before and as silly as it seems HP is a big reason for why I'm here in England. Oh the happiness it brings me!

Halloween was a success! People enjoyed our costumes and we enjoyed getting ready. Halloween itself wasn't a big to do. I called my favorite people to wish they a wonderful evening! Let's just say I would have given anything to hang out with Darth Vader and a motorcycle dude. AND apparently we gained an hour so I am now an hour closer to you (for those across the ocean)

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Much love.

Happy Halloween!!

Today:

I called my mother and she told me to go do something fun because I'm in England.

let the memories be good for those who stayer

Yesterday was a day to be remembered! It was beautiful out and I got a call to work for tomorrow! In celebration Hilary and I decided it was time to go exploring so we went to Gloucester Road. This place is magical, I tell you. Fun little shops, foods from around the world, little markets AND a coffee shop that sells pumpkin spice lattes. Yep, my journey to find a pumpkin spice latte was completed yesterday thanks to Coffee #1 on Gloucester Rd. We sat and felt completely in love with Bristol all over again! I find that happens on a daily basis.

Good days all around!

Miss you! xo
