As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023! I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff...
To say 2020 has been a weird year would be an understatement, in fact, it's been pretty crappy and much worse for many people. I feel lucky to have been able to live with some normality when the world is so chaotic. However, the year seems to have gone ridiculously fast and this blog took a backseat. I definitely had writer's block too and didn't want to blog for the sake of it, however, after being away for a while I've missed it a lot! I enjoyed the social side of blogging as well as sharing bits of my life so am looking forward to getting back into it.
I’ve still been posting regularly on my Creative Arts blog as part of my studying which definitely took up a lot of time! It's been a really interesting experience and I’ve learnt a lot. I’m actually making some decisions about my future studies which I’ll share on here at some point but I definitely have a better idea of what I’m really interested in!
Obviously doing a course from home is pretty time consuming and my job (in a school) also meant I was considered a key worker. It was certainly different but I’m glad I was able to provide some help through these strange and stressful times!
During my spare time, I went on a lot of walks and have been able to take so many photos. I definitely feel lucky to live in a place with great views, especially this year! I also went away for a weekend in Lincoln, somewhere I’d not been before so that was a nice break. Obviously being in lockdown meant there weren't many options for days out but I did manage to visit some quieter beaches a few times too!
Besides that, I’ve watched various shows which I’ll probably do a post about soon as it's something I enjoy sharing. Oh, and like a lot of people, I also got addicted to watching TikToks and have even started making my own recently!
So, there's a brief update - I'm sure I'll share things from the past few months in more detail in my upcoming posts but I'm glad to be blogging on here again for sure! Hope everyone is well during these very strange and uncertain times!
Welcome back! What a beautiful beach shot. I look forward to catching up with you more in future blogs. Helen

Ah thank you so much for reading and such a lovely comment! x
DeleteIt is so hard not to get back into the things we really enjoy doing! We may falter but, if we love it, we always come back.
