I met my friend, Hannah for some food at Wagamamas (fusion Noodle restaurant) and I had a yummy Yasai Katsu Curry. Afterwards, we decided to wonder around the local town centre.
We ended up walking through the church which dates back to medieval times, marvelling at the beautiful Celtic tombstones.
The bell ringers were hard at work and we noticed a door that had been left open. Hannah was very curious.

This book arrived for me today, I love receiving nice new books in the post and even better if they are free! The book is YiYun Li's, 'The Vagrants'. I'm quite excited to start reading it because she has had such good reviews for her award winning collection of short stories, 'A thousand years of good prayers'. However I already anticipate this first novel to be rather bleak seeing as it is based on true events in 1979 surrounding Communist China.
What books are you all currently reading?
Beautiful beautiful. You are lucky to have such beauty so close by.
ReplyDeletethose shots are lovely!

I would love to live somewhere with so much history. That's so interesting that people are buried there from so long ago. Polar opposite of where I'm from. Buildings from the 50s are historic!
ReplyDeleteIt's so crazy how much smaller people used to be. When I was in Stockholm, I went on a replica of medieval ship and I was one of the few people that could walk freely without hitting my head.
mmm i love wagamama! i love your bag
ReplyDeleteYou look so wonderful! I really like that bag, and this looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeletewow i wouldve been a little spooked, but the tombstones are designed beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your are having fun!!! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI want your bag! I am currently rereading all my Harry Potter books <3
ReplyDeleteYou look great!
ReplyDeleteLove your skirt!!

Yeah, I forgot to say the top it's quite All Saints like yes... I didn't quite think at first but is true, I love All Saints anyway, just find them a bit pricey, but good on sale though.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos<3
ReplyDeletelooks like fun ;D
xoxo L.
Lol at het door, you look like a giant! The book looks really good, it might be next on my reading list.
ReplyDeleteI just read a book called What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt. It is really really good.
ReplyDeleteYasai ........ YUM...
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Gynaecology by Ten teachers for my exams!!

What beautiful photographs :) Ooh and Wagamamas is awesome! Apparently the average height of a British soldier in the 19th century was 5'6", which means I would probably be resting my elbow on their heads lol. And wow at the free book!! I'm reading The Great Stink by Clare Clark at the moment, it's a surprisingly good read :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love finding things that make me feel taller too! I love your bag. x
ReplyDeleteHaha ok love that tiny door!
ReplyDeleteI just finished up the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. It was awesome. I highly recommend it.

ReplyDeleteOooo, graveyards :-) *ehem*
ReplyDeleteI might have to nick that bookie off of you when I return pour ma holidays missy (^-^). I read 'A Thousand Years of Good Prayers' last year and I've still got it - it was so profound, really really amazing. Her writing is so simple and yet so evocative.
