Greenbelt festival

Hello lovely internet people,

For the last 6 years every August bank holiday I have gone to a festival called Greenbelt, it's a music and arts festival with a Christian ethos.. Now I was brought up in a fairly religious family but over recent years I've turned my back on the church because well it started to annoy me. However Greenbelt restores my faith in humanity. Instead writing a huge blog post I'm just going to put in all the pictures from the weekend. I hope you enjoy:

 

I drank some tasty cider, enjoyed some fantastic music; listened to inspirational talks and spent with some like minded people. I came home with a new perspective.

I hope you enjoyed this blog, thanks for reading

A change I've made

Hello lovely internet folk, 

I had a brain wave this week and decided to do something new, so I brought a pen and a leather journal. It's not to write a diary or anything like that, it's going to simply be to write down funny things that happen during the day and maybe start writing a book. But I don't know about that yet. 

I just think it's a really good idea to carry some paper around with you and write down the good thoughts you have and sometimes the bad things. I know when I feel like there's a dark cloud over my head just writing the crappy things down just helps. 

Thanks for reading this weeks post, sorry it's a bit random and short I'm really busy with work at the moment. 

Have an amazing week :D

A few words

Hello lovely internet people, 

I didn't actually want to blog this week, I just didn't feel like I had any decent content to put out there. But then I heard the sad news about Robin Williams who if you don't know was a comic genius and a fantastically talented actors. 

It's said he committed suicide after struggling with depression. This got me thinking, I've not spoken about mental illness on this blog but it's surrounded my upbringing and have suffered with depression over the years. 

I felt that I needed to let out the feelings this has created. Now I'm no expert on the subject but if you've stumbled across my blog at a time where you feel your low and no matter what anyone says or does you can't shift that feeling please talk to someone, your GP, parent, best friend or partner. One thing I have learnt over the years is not for one second are we alone in this world. If you don't feel you can talk to anyone there are charities like Samaritans which I have reached out to a couple of times. 

Thanks for reading, have an amazing week

Thinking forward

Hello lovely internet people,

After a week that can only be described as shit. I decided to start thinking forward to what is going to come. Believe me I know how hard it is to be positive, but sometimes you've just got to do it. 

My dad has an old car that sits on the drive and is waiting to be restored and put back on the road. Now in my family this is a running joke, about how things take years to get done. But I think that you have to wait for the right moment to do them, people don't just climb Everest they train for months. 

What I'm saying is try and look towards the future a bit more, set yourself an achievable goal and achieve it. Don't wait around for someone else to tell you it can't be done. My goal is to travel to at least 1 country in the next 12 months.

Thanks for reading have a great week
