Little Things

Hey guys,

One of my friends Charlotte has an amazing blog which I always enjoy reading that you should defiantly take a look at! I have left a link so just click on her name. It has so many lovely beauty posts and lush reviews that have persuaded to go to Lush and indulge in another bath bomb! Recently she posted a couple of posts saying the things she loves. I loved reading that post because it was filled with little things that we sometimes miss but when I think about I really love! So this inspired me to think about all the little things which I love and that make my day that little bit brighter!

1) Tea - I am another Brit who just loves tea! I think tea is magic; whatever life throws at us, we have a tea! You're cold? Have a tea. You're sad? Have a tea. You're ill? Have a tea. But the thing is most of the time it does make things better! Maybe it really is magical...

2) Cats - I am definitely a cat person and while I don't hate dogs, cats will always be my favourite. I have two cats (named Beebo and Hector!) which we got what I was 8 years old and they just make me happier!

3) A warm fire - Sitting by a fire (with my cup of tea of course ;) is just very relaxing. It's quite mesmerising watching all the all the bright flames almost dance around the logs, especially in Winter.

4) Disney Movies - If I'm in a bad mood then the one thing that is sure to cheer me up is a Disney movie. I don't care if it's a classic like Cinderella or something new like Tangled they're all timeless to me! My favourites though are Tangled, Hercules, Mulan and Aladdin.

5) Photography - One of my favourite things too do is too take photos and it has to be one of the best things about blogging! Especially of Nature and things like Mountains which make me feel so small!

6) Church - My Church is full of wonderful, life long friends who are as close as family. There is a real community of love in my Church and I always feel grateful for the encouragement they give me.

7) Laughter - I love a good joke and if someone is crying with laughter it's probably me! But as well as being made laugh, someone laughing at something I've said just makes me happier.

8) Inside Jokes - I love it when someone says something normal too everyone else except one other person and me because of the memories behind them!

Always loved reading!

9) Reading - As much as I love binge watching Netflix and watching Disney I love a good book! Ever since I was little I have loved reading, getting engrossed in a story line and characters, not stopping reading until I've finished! I love the sound of pages of a book being turned too, I'm not sure why, maybe it's because it's a very familiar sound!

10) Aeroplanes - If someone asks what super power I would have if I could I will always say flight and flying in an aeroplane is the closest thing I think I will ever get to that! It also is a great place to take photos whatever the time of day or weather because everything looks amazing!

I have decided to leave it there for now because otherwise this post will be very lengthy! I hope this blog post has made you think about the things you are grateful for, that make you a little bit brighter that you don't always notice. Thank you for reading and enjoy your week,

A Trip to France - 9 Days in Photos!

Hey guys,

For the last couple of weeks the reason I have not been blogging is because I have been skiing in France! I had such an amazing time so I wanted to write about it. But then I had the idea to do a picture post because I always enjoy them and as per usual I took a lot of pictures...

The 6 AM flights definatly weren't the highlight of the week however I did get some lovely shots of sunrise because I had the perfect seat to take some photos!

Where we were skiing was close to the border between France and Switzerland and the first two of these photos where taken at one of the highest points, which is just over the French border. I thought that the clouds touching the mountain just looked stunning so had to stop skiing to take a photo! The last photo is the top of the run I enjoyed the most, called 'Prolays'.

My younger brother Will had the excellent idea of toasting Marshmallows and as there was already a fire burning in our chalet I thought it was a great idea and just had to join in!

I don't have many pictures of me actually skiing but I do have these two! I am not the best skiier at the moment as I have only skiied for a couple of weeks so I ski mainly blue runs however I have tried a red run too. Skiing is so fun and I am hoping to go again in the next couple of years!

We went into the town a couple of times to do a bit of shopping and stopped in a Café called Beanies. It had the most delicious smoothies and milkshakes so I of course chose a raspberry smoothie!

 Near where we were staying there was a big forest with a long river flowing through it. When we got back from skiing on one day going to the forest was a very scenic place to walk and the sound of the water was relaxing too.

The 'Lac de Montriond' was very near where we stayed so we went to have a look. There is a cafe on the opposite side of the lake so we walked round which was well worth it despite the length because the view from that side was stunning as the mountains where in the background as well.

On our last day of skiing the clouds where very low and in runs higher up than the one in my photo you couldn't see past 50m around you. It was magical as I've always wanted to be in the clouds, but at the same time terrifying because you can't see much at all. After 50m everything just melts into white nothingness. In the second photo we where high enough to be above the clouds with blue sky again, but 200m further down we were surrounded by cloud again!

As quickly as it came the holiday was gone. Although it was sad too leave I was happy to be home after a fun but exhausting week of skiing. I didn't take many pictures on the way home as I read for all of it however I did take this because you can see the huge shadows that the clouds make!

I hope you like this type of blog post because I haven't done one before, maybe it's sometime I should do more often? If you have any ideas for blog posts leave me a comment below. Have a great week,

Abi
