I fell in love at the seaside...

-
Last week me and Chris decided to get on the train from Flitwick (where we live) and go to Brighton (the very last stop on the train line). We were absolutely blessed with sunny weather and we had such a nice day. It is the first time that we have been to the seaside together and is actually the first time in a long time that we have managed to schedule in an entire day together. We love spending time with family and friends but it was so nice to have some special time together. 

We went to the Sealife Centre, mooched around on the pier, walked around the Brighton Pavillion, paddled in the sea, had fish and chips and a nice ice cream to finish off the day with. 

The seaside is my favourite place to be and I felt completely relaxed for the first time in aaaagggess! Here are some pictures from our day. 

Where do you guys go for a day out?

I found Dory!



THE NICEST FISH AND CHIPS. I wish I could tell you where it was, but we honestly just sat down anywhere we could find a seat. The seafront was so busy because it was bank holiday and the sun was out. This was lovely though and not over priced! 

Chris had Marshmallow and bubblegum flavoured ice cream...Sickly sweet!



I love this photo. My step mum thinks Chris looks possessed but really he just wants to avoid the potential cheese level this photo has!


The key rings we won in the arcade on the Pier! Never won anything before! Hey, you gotta start somewhere!

The Pavillion really is spectacular. Chris, as an architect, was in awe of the building and its structure (I just liked the pretty gardens!)

A Letter To 16 Year Old Me

Me, aged 16 - NYE Amy, You are now 16. You think that you have your life planned out. Hear me now -  you don't. A ton of shit is coming your way  and at that moment you are going to think that you will not be able to deal with it. Before pain and suffering capture your good heart, I hope you know that even when you’re pushed to the very edge of defeat, everything will be okay.  Stop trying to have control over everything in your life.  Stop being the adult. You will grow up very quickly and you will wish that you could have your teen years back again. When Dad and Sonia are strict with you  - don't have a go at them. Don't scream at them and tell them they can't stop you spending the night out... They aren't doing this because they want to control you. They are doing it because they care about you and want you to have a bright future. They are doing it because they know that you don't have much structure at home and they want to be the consistenc

Joe Wicks' Paella

I was bought Joe Wicks' Lean in 15 cookbook by my lovely mum a few weeks ago. Last week, I had my friend Emily over for dinner and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to set myself a goal of cooking a freshly prepared and healthy meal for us. I chose to cook the paella. First of all I should add that this was never meant to be a full on paella that you would expect to eat in Spain. The idea of Joe's recipes are that they are quick, easy and fairly cheap for everyone to make. We had chicken and prawns as our main ingredients. I threw some peppers, onions and peas in too. Chucked in a pint of stock with Tumeric and Saffron (most expensive spice EVER apparently, but you only need a tiny bit so the pot gets a lot of use). I then put some Uncle Ben's vegetable rice in the microwave, zapped it and then bung it in the pan. I used my wok for this as I needed a big saucepan and this was the biggest I could find. Stirred it for a bit. Dished up. Threw some parsley o

Love after Love - Derek Walcott

The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. I have loved this poem since I was 14. My English teacher gave us the task of finding a poem online and me and my friend Alice were stuck. She showed us this poem and explained that she was going through a break up with her boyfriend and this poem was helping her through it. Fast forward eight years and with every poignant moment in my life, I have always found comfort in this poem. Heartbreak, grief, depression. The mea
