The Month Of March

As I said in the last post, this month has two very important birthdays: Mum's and Dad's. I missed my dad's as I am still in Spain and I will be home two nights before Mum's so that first weekend that I am home (23-24) is going to be a birthday weekend. On the Saturday, Dad is making his homemade steak and kidney pie with homemade chips and peas (I've made him promise that this will happen) and I will give him his prezzies. On the Sunday, it is Mum's birthday so a late lunch out with the family and more presents etc. etc.

 

Also, this month it is Easter! That means getting fat from a lot of chocolate eggs on top of all the proper English food that I am going to consume over the two weeks I am at home. I swear the thing I talk about most is food.

 

Other than that, I am supposed to be going to Fallas in Valencia next weekend! I still haven't bought my tickets however. I need to do this! 

 

This weekend, I don't know whether to go out, or stay in and sort out my life/save money. Decisions, decisions... It is also Mother's Day on Sunday! I need to send Mum a card and some flowers!

 

I need to get my blogging and writing back on track too! ASAP! 

 

 

(L-R) Hell March; Birthday Celebrations; Easter Fun; Reading ELLE Magazine; Flying Home; Heart; Reading Two Issues Of Glamour; Catching Up With Friends; Lazy Mornings; Loving The Single Life; Home Time; Losing Myself In A Book; Homemade Steak Pie; Happy Mother's Day; Reading And Writing.

 

All of the images will be happening when I go home. I will be seeing friends and writing whilst I'm in Spain but even more so whilst I'm at home.

 

Happy times ahead!

 



Extended Family...

... are our closest friends in life.

It is true that you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends and so far I have been a really good chooser! I have to say it and I pat myself on the back for it.

though miles may lay between us

 we are never apart,

for friendship doesn't count miles

 it's measured by the heart.

This is a quote that sums up the recent happenings of my life and I wanted to express how important your friends are in life. Even if you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, whatever, never forget your friends and make sure they know that. It is important to keep in touch because you never know what is around the corner where you may need your friends.

As you may or may not know, during the academic year, I live in London which a lot of miles away from my home friends, my best friend of eight years and it is easy to lose touch and I do not want to do that because we have stuck together through thick and thin.

Keep your friends close to your heart

Even when you are miles apart.

There is no point in losing someone you love

As they can be as precious as a peaceful hopeless dove.

It is true that friendships die

And others are let in although you cry

For the one you have lost

At a small cost

Of losing touch

And letting them slip from your clutch.

Love them like there is no tomorrow!

You never know what's around the corner.
