During summer, I spent a beautiful long weekend in Barcelona with my girlfriends. I made a pact with myself a year ago not to fly within Europe, so I decided to take the train to Spain. By the time I came to book, the prices had rocketed, so the Megabus it is! I figured I might as well spend a day in Paris, since I was passing through.

Scottish adventures in Loch Lomond on my birthday. Technically the end of April (not May/June) but I'm sure you'll forgive me. I have so many nice photos from that day!
A sunny weekend in York!
Making wooly friends in the Peak District.
A cloudy day in Paris.
Barcelona - drinks on our terrace and strolling alongside the harbour.
It's been a little while since I wrote about life here

Tuesday was our last day in Paris. We went back to the Hotel Du Ville to visit the vintage shops that I had missed the first time around, including my favourite Parisian vintage shop, Hippy Market. I bought two pairs of crazy patterned trousers, which will make an appearance on the blog soon! We spent our afternoon visiting the Sacre Coeur, the Place du Tertre and wandering around the small hilly streets
