christmas eve, the equivalent to the night before.

i got bored. i generally can pass the time easily but i decided against a post about me going on about fate when really that's one of my "dont do's" new years resolutions should be way more restrictive- i never and will never keep the ones i think are truly my flaws. i just find it so much easier to mould back into the person i was. although that does, objectively go against the whole point of a resolution! i actually made an effort today with christmas. my wrapping skills are low and i am quite happy to wear pj's. i bought a dress; its black but extra cute. i bought a friend a book today- SK. i just love him. "each life makes its own immitation of immorality" i love the intensity of his writing nature. i would love to know what he is like as a person, im reading a book on him and to be honest hes what he comes across as. christmas tomorrow- i cant believe where the days have gone!
of course i applaud you: http://thecatalyst.typepad.com/the_catalyst/fashion/

happy christmas eve everyone. holl x

seems a little out of the bleu that snow, or a lot of it has fallen. i mean i know when i usually say a lot i mean by the fact ive been wishing for it but its actually here- its so beautiful and is literally white powder. it was bugging me that i couldnt snapshot it because my poor camera isnt good enough for that type of fineness. it snowed last night though so i rushed out, wellies and hat, and perhaps over took the meaning of "just a few" i couldnt help the fact that i was just so excited at the amount of it. i went with mar, trudi and our dog. bless him he was half hidden in it. it was just so amazing to be able to walk in it. ive had some free time on my hands as im kinda snowed in. so i thought what a better time to take some photographs. our local pub is struggling and ive walked the last two times ive worked there- revision is possibly ruining the beauty of the weather and for the last couple of nights i have lay on the floor, listened to jack johnson (his older tracks) and talked on the phone. its snowing again- i have managed to wrap the presents i have.. i feel festive anyway! plenty of time to read which is probably the best part. i just wish i wasnt fussing about exams. its most definately a cloudy fog- it looms and then leaves. so beautiful that it has me smiling everytime. (:

i really am fond of you snow- please stay. hol

like a sleepy bleu ocean

so, tinsel and flashing lights can be seen when you tilt your head back to gaze at the moon... it's starting to feel more like christmas every day. can't believe it's next week, everything seems to be going full speed a head. nothing changes. holl and myself love this time of year, we were late night shopping tonight and it was beautiful. cold, but still beautiful. we stopped for a cuppa tea before starting our shopping at our usual coffee house. so, pretty much done for christmas shopping this year, now for the best part of handing out the presents. lets hope santa stops by...

tay+hols finds ♥

one time we went on a walk. we had no direction or plan to aim for anywhere and we ended up walking for quite a while. it was an awesome day, and we managed to find some really worthwhile places- the views were just incredible. i miss the times when i had no other worry, i could walk for hours and it'd never become overwhelming. now my head is so cluttered and i can hardly do the things i onced loved. time has become something of a burden. when you get older theres a tendancy for responsibility. 'the moments that make up the dull days' is a very true phrase and i think that many people forget the meaning of life. i love the fact that tay + i appreciate the same beautiful stuff- we would quite happily walk anywhere and never become bored. i love the way she is so enthusiastic about everything. plus since when did life have to encounter the big things? what happened to simple is purely better- sometimes i am just so grateful at the fact that i live in the country. its a wonderful place to grow up and there are so many little things that can really cheer up someones day. -
anyhow, this day in particular was memorable. and i thought i would share it, because it means a lot to me..

old crick'

blog makeover! YAY! we decided that things were becoming too cluttered. pretty much like everything else at the moment. We were ready for an evening full of candy floss, carousels, the typical fayreground smells that are standard for this festive time of year. there were plenty of stalls to browse full of trinket boxes, patchwork scarfs and chestnuts. so we went straight to the vintage market, we didn't buy anything probably because we were more excited to try out the rides. we really wanted to go on the big wheel as it was least scary. so once we had paid we found ourselves rather excited about being so high up. although, when it started to go backwards quite quickly tay completely freaked out and so we ended up going back through the queue. oops. so to the carousel it was! some guy tried to overcharge us, weren't completely satisfied with his lack of courtesy, as we're sure 4 50ps makes £2! the best ride of the night was 'Jiminey Cricket' which we ended up going on twice because we adored it so much! being in the air whilst going up and down isnt exactly natural- hair in our faces and desperately trying to hold down our bags whilst being tossed about- probably the most challenging tasks of the night! we giggled so much but screamed for most of it. from where we were sat it seemed so giddy, everything kind of blurred into a swirl of colours. the people watching didnt seem so impressed but that was probably because they didnt have the motivation! the ride seemed far too short and we got off almost as we had got on. it wasnt long before we decided to go back again! the guy controlling it almost seemed happy to see us.. the fayre was beginning to close and the endless bits and bobs were being packed away. we thought it was a good time to just simply stroll through the streets and talk. the street was lit by christmas lights draped above our heads. if you tilted you're head back so you could see the stars you could also see you're own breath- it was that cold. we were glad to get back into the warm and have spent the rest of the night listening to old tunes, drinking tea, sat on tays bed. laughing and passing random thoughts. xoxox
