Happy Halloween everybody!  I hope you've had a tonne of fun, dressing up, partying,  trick n' treating, whatever you've been up to!  I had a great time at a party on Saturday, everyone at the party put so much effort in and looked amazing!  I felt very underdressed in a simple red outfit and oversized red fairy wings!  Oh well, next year!  And at least I put a bit of effort into my bloody nails, thank you to everyone who's liked the picture on instagram!

In other news, I got a new camera!  My last one finally gave up the will to live during my last trip to Gozo, so I decided to get the Panasonic Lumix TZ20.  I'm still getting used to the settings on it but I can't wait to get back into taking pictures for the blog!

Even more exciting than a new camera, I'm going to Rome on Wednesday!!  Just for a long weekend, but I can't wait to see all the sights, have some nice relaxing strolls around the piazza's, eat lots of pizza and just chill!  Now that I've got a new camera I'll even be able to take some decent pictures!

I hope you all have a good week, see you again when I'm back from Roma!

Welcome back to Blogger!!

Friday the 13th has been a very frustrating day in the blogging world.  We were all having major withdrawal symptoms over the last 24 hours, but luckily I didn't lose any recent posts - like some of my favourite bloggers, I did lose a draft planned to be published today and also some comments from my lovely readers though!  I'm sorry I didn't get chance to respond to you but please do comment again!

I wouldn't say I'm thinking of moving my blog to WordPress just yet, but I definitely need to start thinking about methods of backing up my blog in some way.  What do you guys do to keep your blog safe incase site failures again?

Anyway, although I need to re-write my lost post I'm going to leave that one for another day.  In the meantime here is a random photo, and one of my fave's... to cheer me up! :)


I took this photo from the Acropolis in Athens, looking out over the city to Lycabettus Hill.  This was one of my favourite holidays.  I was visiting my friend, Zoe, who was living in Athens at the time and I fell for the city straight away.  The birthplace of European history, with amazing ancient ruins and museums, restaurants, shops and close to fabulous beaches what else could you ask for!

Come on Zoe!  When are we going back?!

I haven't posted anything in my Random Photo series in a while so thought I'd choose this pretty picture to kick it off again...


Stunning amphorae found at a Roman shipwreck off the coast of Xlendi Bay, Gozo, Malta.

This picture was taken on my recent holiday to Gozo.  We decided to visit the lovely little Gozo Museum of Archaeology one afternoon after a lazy morning drinking coffee in a nearby square.  Situated in the sympathetically restored Casa Bondi, within the walls of the beautiful Citadel in Victoria, this quaint museum covers the life and culture of the tiny Mediterranean island of Gozo.  Having completed a degree in Ancient History and having a general love of anything historical, I could spend hours in museums...  The Gozo Museum of Archaeology however is small enough that even the boyfriend was happy to leisurely stroll round it, without complaining of boredom once!!

The sun is shining this weekend, so when choosing an image for my Random Photo I found myself looking through my holiday snaps from New Zealand last December.  We were visiting family and were lucky to have the most fabulous weather while we were there.  I think it was their hottest Christmas in 5 years!  These pictures were taken on the run-up to Christmas.  Oh how I wish we had this weather in the UK!!

Sunglasses:  Primark
Vest:  H&M
Button Harem Trousers:  New Look

On a side note.  If you ever find yourself in New Zealand I'd seriously recommend tracking down Glassons, great fashion at great prices!  It reminded me of a Kiwi version of Miss Selfridge or New Look!

When we finished uni my housemates and I decided to celebrate by going on holiday to Barcelona.  It was an absolutely amazing holiday, we got up to all sorts!! Now we only see each other a few times a year - with us being spread all across the UK, and even further afield!  I miss you guys!

P.S.  I don't think this photo is mine, I've had it on my computer for AGES but it could actually be my bessie, Charlotte's.  Hope you don't mind me using it dude!  :)

This cat had loads of personality and was just chilling out enjoying the stunning view of The Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta.  I absolutely love Valletta and try to get there every time I visit Gozo, Malta's beautiful sister Island.

I was inspired to post a random photo from Malta after the birth of my gorgeous niece, Sophia.  She was born on Gozo 11th March 2011, this time next week I'm going to be flying out there to visit her and I'm SO excited!  Sophia is such a lovely little baby!

The beyond stunning Galeries Lafayette.  I was actually distracted from shopping by the beauty and grandeur of this Parisian building.
The Random Photo is a weekly post that I'd like to introduce to my blog.  The idea is to share some very random pictures and hopefully an insight into what I get up to.  Most of the pictures will be ones that have been saved on my computer for some time so I'll probably have to add a bit context.

I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!


A few years ago I celebrated my birthday with a trip up Newcastle to visit some friends and have a good old night out on the toon.  I went to uni in Newcastle but at this point had been graduated for nearly a year.  Well to cut to the chase, we were obviously trying to replicate our uni days, most of the the pictures from the night were either blurred or of the floor ...like this!
