Andorra, Solsona and a little promise

hello dearhearts. once again i've broken my promises haven't i?! i 'promised' to run a post after i got back from my trip to Andorra and France and Spain and Belgium, and i haven't posted a thing...

i also promised to run a small giveaway featuring goodies from my trip. i haven't done that either and actually didn't even buy any goodies while i was away! i mostly just stayed in my room reading and watching films!

i failed miserably didn't i. *big sigh* the truth is that i just don't have the get up and go for blogging any more. in fact i haven't had it for a while which is worrying.

however, i want to try and make amends because i know that many of you still follow this blog and i frequently get NEW followers and readers as well so it's not fair of me to just stop posting things!!!

now then, those that have followed the blog for a while might know about my other annual trip away to Ireland. i visit Ireland every summer and run loooots of lovely blog posts chock full of photos and stories and generally fun Irish stuff. (you can see ALL of my Irish themed posts right here - Ireland Times)

next week i'm heading off for a trip to Cork and Dublin (i visit both every year) as well as a trip to Limerick. i'm particularly excited about the latter since i've never been there before and i can't wait to explore the city and look for some groovy cute sights and shops to share with you all on here.

another tradition of the annual trip to Ireland has been the Summer Giveaway that always follows it. this year will be no exception! i'll gather up a bundle of sweet Irish goodies while i'm away and then run the giveaway once i get home. THIS. WILL. HAPPEN.

i won't just promise it... i swear it will happen! i've done it for the past two years so i can manage it again this year for sure!

so yaaay!!! a trip to Ireland AND a giveaway to follow!

i'll shut up now. Here are some photos of my trip to Andorra as well as some snaps from my brief foray into the beautiful medieval town of Solsona, in northern Spain. scroll, scroll, scroll and enjoy...

so there you go. beeeeautiful. and guess what, i have TWO new creative café features to run soon so i might even post  one of them over the next few days. maybe. perhaps. probably.

so until next time, that's all folks... xX

Salut!

Bonjour dearhearts, if you follow me via Twitter or Facebook then you might have noticed that i'm currently away in France, travelling down for my annual (or biennial, as the case may be this time around) trip to Andorra.

i'm currently in Feytiat near Limoges having travelled down today from Calais, but tomorrow i'll get to Andorra at last!!!

so for the next 10 days i shall be stuck halfway up a mountain with no tv/phone/internet for what will be a much needed BLISSFUL break from the hubble and bubble of the rest of the world.

in case you're wondering how a self confessed internet addict like myself will handle the seclusion... I have a stack of truly delicious new books to read, lots and lots of awesome DVD's to watch + enough music and tv shows on my macbook to divert me for months!

now i know i have been seriously neglecting this blog again lately, since my HND Fine Art course ended i've not done much other than laze about watching films, reading + working on the occasional commission. in short, i've been a very lazy blogger!

so while i'm in Andorra + visiting the surrounding areas of France and Spain, i'm going to attempt to gather some nice snaps of the place (since, it's a pretty amazingly gorgeous place!) and when i make it back to France and nab some free wi-fi, i'll run a nice blog post + maybe even a little Andorra inspired giveaway featuring some yummy Catalan goodies!

sound good?! well it's probably going to happen regardless.

oh  and if you don't already, be sure to follow me on Twitter or Like my page on Facebook to keep up to date with my travels and stuff, since you never know, i might deign to update a few things online while i'm down visiting Andorra la Vella one day :)

anyway, until i return to the land of le internet, au revoir mes amis, parler bientôt xX
