Hello! I have now finished my M.A. and have returned to the world of full time work. I really miss my M.A. so have begun volunteering at National Trust Properties and local archives (but more about that in another post!) I miss the rummaging around in archives, and finding out secrets from the past. I think I will have to try fill this in my weekends and evenings with book reading and museum/gallery visits.
My visit to Salcombe in Devon was amazing, but went so fast! We stayed in a house on the sea front called Pitchford House (how nice is the kitchen!)
I loved that house.... we are going again next September! There were stone steps onto a huge balcony that over looked the bay where we could drink coffee and eat Tom's birthday cake and watch boats go past. I don't know if it was so idyllic because the weather was so so hot (hot weather in England in October!) but I can't wait to go back.
Since finishing my M.A it is a little weird getting used to the fact that my evenings and weekends are mine again. I am slowly realising that I can do whatever I want in this time. There’s so much I want to do but I think I will split it over different posts (I want to go away at the weekend more, read more, watch more films, cook more!) Firstly I want to start going to the cinema again more to see really great films. Recently I have seen:
(I only managed to watch about thirty minutes of Snow Town. It was too violent/sadistic for me... I'm not saying it isn't a good film I just couldn't keep watching it).
In the next two weeks I should be seeing:
I can't wait!
