Well, what an exhausting past two weeks it has been. Went to Venice last Thursday, which was really good fun. Such a beautiful and unique place, never experienced something like it before. So romantic, so full of culture and history. You could imagine what it was like back in the 1700s etc, apart from the weather getting down to -15 due to -10 wind chills it was fantastic. We all bought masks and costumes for carnival, a special week in Venice that they celebrate every year where they act out their original drama and go back to their heritage. It was something I had never seen before, it sucked you in with all the colours and music, definitely something I recommend going to, but bring extremely warm clothing!!
Ben Howard has been my soundtrack this half term, religiously listening to him in Venice and on the flight to San Fransisco, and then on the flight to Vancouver. Which is where I am currently, the jet lag is a bitch, 10hours behind UK time, so it's been a bit of a mission to get into eating, sleep at the right time. We flew in from Venice on Sunday evening, then flew to San Fransisco very early Monday, then waited for 6hours in San Fransisco before a 2 hour plane journey to Vancouver. So I can safely say I've done my fair share of flying this week.
Sometimes it's so nice to go away to a foreign country to get away, to be unable to contact, getting away from all the happenings of home life. Although, saying that I miss home a lot, I miss cuddles and kisses, the sound of peoples voices, the smell etc. but when someone goes away I think you learn to appreciate them more, right? Not having them on tap all the time, sometimes not meaning to take them for granted, you know? Plus, when you next see them it is so special, right? Well that's what I'm telling myself.
Typical, the first valentines day I have a boyfriend and I'm away. But I had the best surprise ever when I flew home from Venice, probably the best surprise I've ever had. Even made me a little teary eyed, shhh. How was your valentines? I'm interested in what everyone got? Or if you celebrated it or not? It's funny, when I think about my blog this time last year I was moaning, complaining, about valentines day. How it's so depressing blah blah blah... Little did I know this time the following year it would be completely different. Shows that it's just a matter of time before it's your turn. Trust me. Everyone gets a turn! Happy, happy, bunny.
Only 6days till I'm home! Bittersweet, I'm enjoying myself a lot. Eeeek. Might pop to the SPA later, anyways...
Hope you're having a banging half term.
Have a good one.
