(fairy floss - an old obsession of mine)
Recently, I feel like I haven't been living in the moment. I have just been constantly dreaming about being somewhere else. Whether that's dreaming about being back home in Sydney, or on a ski trip to the Swiss Alps, or going to London for the weekend, I just haven't really been focusing on everything amazing around me.
That was until this weekend. George and I spent cozy days inside sipping on soup while watching cheesy Christmas movies. We visited Cardiff's Winter Wonderland, hung fairy lights all around our apartment and even put up our own miniature Christmas tree.
I now feel totally content on where I am right now. (But that doesn't mean that I am so incredibly excited to be back home in Sydney in 25 days time.)
oh man how I LOVE christmas! and putting up lights.. and your tree! how lovely to have a winter wonderland to play around in- wayyy jealous (: But I feel you, sometimes me feet get itchy and all I can do is daydream of adventures in lands far, far away...

You can totally be happy right now and look forward to stuff in the future at the same time. I'm like that as well at the moment. And also loooving my early Christmas decorations, cosy nights in watching films etc. These last few months in a year are definitely my favourite (or am I now sayin this about every month?) (ah, well..)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing pics from your weekend again, it's always so much better than mine haha (and seems SO British now to me!)
