“In that book which is my memory,
On the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you,
Appear the words, ‘Here begins a new life’.” 
― Dante Alighieri, Vita Nuova

A whole new world is waiting...

Woahh it's been a while...

These past few weeks have been hectic! I've moved back to Uni, visited my friend Sean in Sheffield, stayed with Dan in Derby and been out countless times. This year has definately been one of the best years of my life. I have been blessed with an amazing boyfriend, a loving family and good health. I wouldnt change my life for the world! It is perfect for me :)

It was my Birthday the other week and i have to say it was one of the best days of my life. Dan gave me a handwritten letter which made me both cry and laugh, He has such a way with words. I was also treated to a £200 shopping spree which was amazing!!

I have another blog on Tumblr which i update more frequently than this one. I find it easier to use. Please come and follow me on tumblr :).

My birthday presents from Dan and my Dad.

Camping in Newquay

At the begining of the Summer Dan and I went to Newquay for a long weekend. We both loved it's sandy Beaches and beautiful countryside and vowed to go back. We were recently talking to some of our Best Friends (Mat and Ruth) and suggested going to Newquay for a little camping trip. We never thought that it would actually happen but on the 5th September we made the 6 hour journey to Cornwall!

You wouldn't believe how much stuff we took! Dan and I were squashed in the back, amongst a gazebo, 4 chairs, a gas stove, 4 sleeping bags, 2 Tents, countless bags full of food, a suitcase and two large weekend bags. Luckily we had pillows to add a bit of comfort. Here is a photo of Mat and Dan. You can almost see how little space we had in the back.

Friday Night Jamming session.

Here is a video of Me and Dan singing 'Just the way you are' by Bruno Mars. I absolutely love this song and Dan has recently bought a Ukulele so we thought, why not put them together and see what it sounds like. Here is the finished video. I know it's not perfect but it was only a bit of fun. Enjoy :)

These angel city lights of mine...

Yesterday was the day that i had to move all of my things into my new House in Lincoln. I don't start back at University until September but my house mates and I wanted to make sure everything was sorted now so it's not a mad rush in september to get everything ready. It was a 3 hour journey each way and luckily my Dad was driving. The actual move in only took about an hour in total, which was a lot less time than i was expecting. Last year i hadn't really tried too hard to get a job, thinking that i should have the chance to just enjoy university life. This year i am desperate for one! I handed out 9 Cv's and application forms in a mad dash to get a Job before all the Freshers arrive in September.
Please wish me luck. Hopefully i will be successful with at least one of them :).

This is me!

So you are probably wondering why my blog is called 'Shades of Sky'...? I like to think that everybody has different parts to their personality which make you up as a whole person. The sky as a whole is blue and the different shades within that blue make the weather sunny, cloudy, rainy...The 'Shades' in my 'sky' or life are the things i enjoy doing and the people i love. Hopefully i explained that well enough for you to understand. Shades of sky is a way for me to share the different aspects of my life with you. Hopefully you can get to know me better :) .
