Birmingham, Manchester and everything else..

My love for photography seems to have returned fully now and with my art foundation coming to an end I won't have time to be making posts as much as I would hope. I thought  instead about sharing a more photo diary based series and see how it goes. I love when other bloggers do this kind of post, wish me luck. 

35 things that happened in 2014...

2014 has been a strange year for me. It's been mixed with the joy of returning to Greece and meeting Paul Wesley again with the horror that was my A levels. Although, this year has been 100% better than 2013 and I already have plans to make 2015 a good year. I seem to be terrible at making lists although wanted to share 35 memorable things I did this year; I felt listing the memories that revolve around me and my friends being weird probably wouldn't fit very well here. Here's to 2015, wish me luck.

Countdown to Christmas

On Saturday I unexpectedly ended up in Lincoln to see their Christmas market. With One Direction tickets finally purchased and a Christmas jumper as the key feature of my outfit I was ready to be festive. Maybe because I'm from Birmingham I was disappointed; in comparison to our German Market it lacked christmas and was a third of the size. All that aside I thought Lincoln was a lovely place that I would want to return to it in the summer so it wasn't as cold and would be a whole lot quieter. Lincoln Cathedral is one of the prettiest buildings I have ever seen, I would recommend anyone going to look inside at it's  beautiful windows. I still need to become a lot more festive and watch a great amount of christmas movies starting with Home Alone and finishing with Love Actually on Christmas Eve, wish me luck. 

Free Radio Live 2014

As one of my 19th Birthday presents I was given tickets to Free Radio live and the line up was insane. I was finally able to see my beloved Ed Sheeran along with all the other amazing acts. I had been to their show twice when they were BRMB although this year I felt it could now easily compete with shows taking place across the country. People queued for hours; luckily we managed to get to the third row even though we turned up at half four. Being so close to the front made the experience better along with the atmosphere and excitement making you instantly become a fan of each act. McBusted were amazing although I feel if I begin with my love for Ed Sheeran and his performance in general I will never stop; lets just say sing was more of a duet between me and Ed rather than a solo performance. I only hope I can see him again some day and I'm already 80% sure I will be buying tickets for free radio live 2015.
