Amazing trip to York! :)

Cliffords Tower

Hello there! I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update this month! However, I do have a valid excuse as a lot has happened this month :) 

My partner and I went on a trip to York last week which was amazing! We fell in love with the city almost instantly, it reminded us so much of our time in Chester but with more history to be seen around the city. Our hotel was situated near to Cliffords Tower so it was one of the first things we saw on our walk from the Station (aside from the walls of course). Thankfully we visted York whilst the country had the bout of lovely spring time weather, so lots of beautiful blue skies in photos :) 

I love visiting places that have lots of history to be seen and explored, therefore, York seemed like one of the best places for me to go on a budget. I love the Tudor history and I know that a lot happened in York during Henry VIII's reign, the disillusionment of Catholic Abbey's and Churches for one, so it was lovely to be able to view the remains of St Mary's Abbey.

I won't bore you all with the lots of details about our trip! I will however say that it is worth going to the York Museum as there are so many interesting things to see and I would definitely recommend the Chocolate Fondue in York's Chocolate Story!

Now as for the second reason of my lack of blogging since the beginning of the month was the preparation for our trip to York and then having to see family and friends to give some good news! 

But to make up for it here are some beautiful pictures from York!

Little Ramble

Hi again! I apologise for the quiet bout! But last month I finally moved in to my new "home" with my parents. You may wonder why I have put "home"...well I do not plan on staying for long as I am itching to move out again in to a new home with my partner Ryan! (I am not enjoying the long distance thing at all).

It has taken me all month to sort my room out the exact way I want it in between work and sorting out gifts for Ryan's birthday and Valentine's day! I am excited to visit York next week and I will probably have a little post about the beautiful city and the things we got up to there :)

I have also decided in the past month to take a more positive outlook on life, on my instagram I have decided to take part of the #100happydays :) I am going to take something positive from each day and prove that life isn't always miserable as I have allowed it to get me down for the past 6 months or so...

I am also making positive choices in my life, I have begun my driving lessons again and I have given myself a target of when I would like to pass by so that my life I can start properly, as once I have done this I can look for a place with Ryan (this way we won't have to worry about how far out from town we are considering neither of us drive at the moment).

I apologise for my little ramble today, however, I suppose it gives you a little glimpse in to my life at the moment after being so quiet. Although I have been quiet on here I have been reading some pretty inspirational blogs recently! Here they are if you fancy a quick read...my friend Anneka sheds some light on the graduate blues! And one of my favourite bloggers Wonderful You has been sharing such inspirational life stories recently!
