With this, I've decided to come out of my shell and plan for the up coming lovely months. I don't know if many of you who are young and in full time work (after leaving school/uni) find daily life quite odd. Now what I mean by this, is that for the last however many years you've studied and had more of a flexible lifestyle, and now it's completely dictated by your weekly job. Often 9-5, quite possibly stuck at a desk behind a computer. You can see why people get confused about what they want out of life as there is often very little challenges when it gets to this part. This all sounds quite deeps for a Tuesday evening but I promise you it's not - I just refuse to get stuck into a rut in life. So with this all in mind I've decided one of my main goals this summer is to spend more time outside. A lot of us don't get enough fresh air and that is something that can make anyone feel chirpier about life.I'm renknowned for my lists... but I think this is a good list. I'm closer to 30 than I am to 20 so I've decided to hit a few targets which I'll check off and let you know what I'm up to.

So there is my list! What do you think? I often need a list of some description to keep myself going. We do often find as we get older life tends to be harder in some ways, but quite frankly I'm fed up of worrying for no reason. As a child I was super care-free...
Butter wouldn't melt...
I showed you my new love in the form of two wheels, Gertie. She and I will be cycling over the country over the summer so watch out for what we get up to! There will also be lots of walking my favorite four legged pal...What's not to love about him?!
Me in Paris - more of this yes please!
