Northern England

I'd rather be here. Please.

A Marshmellow World

On a cold and rainy day like today, I'm really craving a warm and filling dinner like the one Boyfriend and I ate at the Cathedral in Carlisle. Look at how delicious everything looks.

This is Dandelion and Burdock; a very odd drink.

I had some sort of hearty carrot soup and salmon and cream cheese on whole wheat! Yum

blue skies, i don't need them

I've only recently been able to work up the nerve to start looking through photos from Boyfriend's visit. These were taken our first night in Carlisle, England. We walked up a country road from the B&B to a charming restaurant for a late dinner. The English countryside is like something out of a beautiful, Hollywood dream.

I have so much to blog about: Norway, Carlisle, delicious meals, crazy pigeons, the British Musuem, and Egyptians. Just this morning I uploaded close to one thousand photos from Frank onto my laptop. Today, in fact, marks two months of me living in London, the half way point for my journey. I should write a Looking Back: London post (here's the first one). I should show you photos and blog about my adventures. But I'm not going to because Boyfriend flew home Saturday after a week here in the UK.

It was amazing and romantic and by far my favorite week here. He's my best friend and the love of my life and now he's gone and I won't be with him for two months. It's harder to know that now than it was to know that two months ago when I left for London. It's harder to say good-bye. So I've been moping for the past few days. I went out for Halloween on Saturday but since then have not left my room. I'm ok with that. Too soon reality and classes will draw me back into my life here but for now I'm existing within the four walls of my room and wishing to be home.

I know that soon I'll be excited to be in London again. I'll go back to planning adventures and taking/uploading photos regularly. Right now though... right now, all I want to do is be home, curled up in bed watching the food channel with my love.
