I fancied visiting somewhere random, somewhere I had never been to before and somewhere I knew absolutely nothing about. After researching the typical not so cheap weekend get a way's to Barcelona, Iceland, Germany (the list goes on) it suddenly dawned on me that I have so many idealic places closer to home... how about Scotland! I had over heard a couple of people talk about how beautiful Edinburgh is over their morning coffee chats in my work kitchen.

My First Ever

My First Ever Blog Post I don't know why I am so nervous to start writing my first ever blog (but here goes!)  On the 3rd May, at 26 years old I have decided to start a blog. Crazy...

I therefore desperately need a platform to spill all my thoughts and passions in to one place, otherwise I am going to end up with a hundred Instagram pages. My passions include painting, flower arranging, home cooking and last but certainly not least travel. I have a trip to Bali, Indonesia planned for June this year and I have just started a new acrylic painting on canvas - watch this space! I am by no means a writer or photographer so please bare with me on my blogger journey. Please feel free to comment on what you would love to read about on my page. I think I am really going to enjoy this.
