Things that make me happy: part 2

A while ago, I wrote a blog post called ‘Things that make me happy’ and I really enjoyed sitting down and thinking about exactly that. But the list I wrote then wasn’t exhaustive and I thought it would be nice to extend that list and write a part 2, because it’s important to think about the things you really enjoy doing yourself and making time to include these in your busy scheduele.

                Cute coffee dates with friends                                         Personal achievements

                                                                     New challenges

                               Travelling                                                                Long days    

                    

Blue and yellow (Prize for anyone that guesses the reason for this correctly down below)

                 Skyping long-distance friends                                Making other people happy

                                                           Late night herbal tea chats              

                              A handwritten letter                                                Scrapbooking

I’m pretty sure there’ll be a follow up to this post at some point, but in the meantime, I’d love to hear what’s on your list.

Durham Fire and Ice

One thing I really enjoy is exploring my surroundings. I love that sense of adventure, the sense of being able to appreciate the things around you in a way that many other people are too lazy to do. So one Saturday morning, whilst most people I knew were happily curled up in bed (albeit it being around 11 o’clock) I wondered down the street to see what seemed to be attracting so many visitors into the city centre. 

What I found in our city centre where several beautifully carved ice sculptures as part of an event called ‘Durham Fire and Ice’ and I guess I just wanted to share my pictures with you.

It was so lovely to appreciate something that brought many tourists to my home and a fantastic revision break. Would definitely recommend a visit in future years!
