cute cat photo of the day

Awwwwwww

phew

We have had some friends up over the last few days, which has been so lovely.

It's so nice to see people who I can just chat to (or even to sit with in silence), with no self consciousness or fear of making an arse of myself.

We mostly spent a lot of time eating amazing food and drinking lots of red wine.

None of which I have photos of because we ate it before documentation crossed my mind!

We didn't spend the whole time eating though, we went for a walk through the forestry on a quest for this waterfall which Jamz and I had spotted from the top of the hill. 

It was in a bit of the forest where they had recently cut down a load of trees, so it was a bit strange, sort of like a grave yard, with remnants of tree looking like bone scattered across the ground.

We did find the waterfall, though not a path to take us right to it. Next time I think we'll go along the top path over the hill... or maybe check out the other waterfall which we spied which might be more accessible.

Having A&N over has also inspired me to make more things!! 

It has been a while as all of my stuff has (and some still is) in boxes.

Though I am determined to get on it, organise my space/life/shelves and get some stuff on etsy.

Hope you've had a nice week so far?

Just over a month ago, I moved with my boyfriend, from Plymouth (where I was studying) to a place on the west coast of Wales. 

A big move, considering that aside from uni, I have lived in the same village my entire life! 

I was a bit worried at first, moving somewhere totally separate from anything (or anyone) I have known, but its getting better now I have begun to meet people properly, and as I make new friends of my own I'm sure it'll get easier. 

  (imagine it without the bin!)

Though I must admit, I am still finding our new house totally novel, and aside from looking at buying things for the house, food and going to the library, I never want to leave it!

Its a beautiful 16th century cottage, about 300m above sea level looking out toward Cadair Idris.

(I know its really really cheesy but...)Everyday I wake up feeling so so lucky.

I think our lovely kitten Myrtle agrees.

The house is coming together SLOWLY which is a bit frustrating, though we have all of our STUFF we have nothing to actually put it on or in. But its all coming, in time. I just find myself a bit impatient with things in boxes all over the place.

Though on a good note, we did pick up a nice set of drawers from the tip for £3!

And some wicker baskets which will also come in handy.

We still have lots of exploring to do yet! And I will update you on here (particularly for you Ash!)

And I look forward to it.
