It’s so weird when I come home that I’m surprised how everything feels so familiar, like I expected to have forgotten it all. It feels so surreal, almost like I’ve travelled back in time to a past life where everything else has stayed still. It usually takes me a few days to adjust to being back but when I visit for only a weekend the time tends to flash past in a instant, taking me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions on the way. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy visiting home though!
This weekend was especially fun, aside from Dan and I both feeling completely exhausted/on the verge of becoming sick. Tomorrow is my sister Ashley’s 18th birthday so we all went with my mum to Top Golf for the day. We played a game on driving range, messed around taking photos on the podiums and played adventure (mini) golf. It was absolutely freezing but so much fun! At one point I hit my ball into the water trap, expecting it to just make a splash, but it bounced several times over the surface- it was completely frozen over!
Afterwards we had a yummy roast dinner made by my dad and fairycakes my mum had made for my sister (because she doesn’t like birthday cake). Then Dan watched several football matches (whilst I was drifting in and out of consciousness on the couch and played with my kitties) and gave me loads of cuddles until it was time to leave. He has been so cute and romantic the past few days :)
It was a really nice, relaxing weekend. Sometimes I just need to get away from the concrete jungle and mad rush that is London…but it’s always fun on the journey back to see all the pretty lights :) I love the feeling of travelling, it puts me in the perfect state of mind to daydream (and blog)!

Ok, I have to ask. What’s a fairycake? Is it like a cupcake or something? Sounds interesting!
Yeah, fairycakes is pretty much the British word for cupcakes. I think they may be a little smaller though.
This is a pretty good example of my sister’s ones, except she had chocolate icing: http://www.dublincupcakes.com/images/fairy-cakes.jpg
Home always has a familiar feeling, to me at least. I don’t think that ever goes away. But you’re definitly right when you say that sometimes you just need to get away from the city to relax and ground yourself.
Side note: the quote you have on the iphone up there is the same quote I have on my blackberry while the keypad is locked. Its a great quote.
Oh, ok! I think I like the name fairycakes better! It’s cute!
