So here I am, sitting in a vacant apartment located above the family’s own. It belongs to them, but it remains empty until family and friends – in search of sun and free accommodation – come to visit. In fact, I have no internet connection. When I turned on my laptop for the first timeContinue reading “Italian Charm”

The Shopping List.
Packing your life into a suitcase is hard enough when you’re going on holiday for two weeks, let alone two months. In fact, I’m going to have to be painfully brutal to even stand a chance of squeezing the basics into my medium sized, 15kg max suitcase. The pair of heels that go with myContinue reading “The Shopping List.”
Birthdays: the love, the presents and the food…
Being 18 seems to be a pretty big deal. For many, it signals the end of youth and the beginning of adulthood, whilst for others it simply marks the beginning of a lifetime of legal drinking. Although being able to thrust ID confidently in the direction of a bouncer, knowing that the date spells out yourContinue reading “Birthdays: the love, the presents and the food…”
18 Years Today.
Today it is my birthday. Today I got a Nikon D3000 Today I am happy.
Rainbows
I’m proud of this photo. I’ll admit, the crane that cuts the rainbow in half is annoying and unwanted, however, when I captured this scene over a year ago I was secretly so pleased with myself. After taking it I would admire the rainbow, and the beauty of its spectrum of colour. However now, IContinue reading “Rainbows”
My sister is stalking me…
You just can’t get rid of them can you? Just when I was beginning to look forward to two months away from my family, finding my independence and having a completely unique adventure which I could boast about when I got home, my sister decided to become an au pair too. Not only is it inContinue reading “My sister is stalking me…”
The Countdown Begins…
One month. One glorious exam-laden month until I’ll be boarding a Ryanair flight (well, as long my airport curse doesn’t prevent it), and jetting off to Rome Ciampino airport. From there, I’ll travel westwards, towards the sea. Oh, the wonderful, dazzling Italian ocean. And then I’ll gorge on gnocchi and pasta and pizza and I’llContinue reading “The Countdown Begins…”
The Cats of Venice
Oh, to be a cat of Venice. To slink through the early morning fog of a deserted canal. To walk in the footsteps of a millenium; soft paws crossing the well-worn Venetian streets. To find a sun-kissed window sill, from which to doze and dream and watch the life of an ancient city pass by. Oh,Continue reading “The Cats of Venice”
Glorious, glorious England.
The title of my blog, ‘Italian Inspiration’, might lead some people to believe that I am ready to wave arriverderchi to my own country and say ‘ciao’ to Italy. However, it’s on gloriously sunny days like this that I adore England; with it’s country lanes and May fields, boasting sunshine-yellow rape flowers. I love howContinue reading “Glorious, glorious England.”
Revision and Rome…
It’s been an awfully long time since I last updated this blog. I blame it on AQA. Yes, glorious exam season is upon us once more. School has been plastered with ‘Silence, Exam In Progress’ signs and in the library the stress of fellow students is permeating the air. Basically, life is pretty intense. I’veContinue reading “Revision and Rome…”
