These are a few of my favourite things...

I've been on a real nostalgia trip recently, watching old movies (such as The Sound of Music as you can probably tell from the title of this post!) and reading books that I used to love. I've also been baking a lot more and I've been trying out some tastes that evoke the memories. I'll post some recipes soon, promise!

Sorry for the radio silence, life has overtaken my writing but I'm hoping that once I start my new job I'll have more time for everything else. Three day week, woop!

In the meantime, here are some blogs and tumblrs that I really like and follow closely. They are all written by very talented and interesting writers and seem to reflect the homey, comforting feeling that I've been carrying around lately.

• Annabel's House is written by a friend of mine and is all about her new life in the country. She's also posted a couple of very tasty recipes that I know first-hand are delicious!
• Dear Baby is written by a young American woman who talks about her experiences of raising her first child. It's full of gorgeous pictures and interesting insights to what motherhood is like. I always look forward to her posts.
• Sort of Glamorous and Kind of Awful is an eclectic mix of pictures, poetry and musings written by a very insightful young woman. I like this tumblr in particular because you never know what is going to come up on it.
• The Last Five Minutes is a journalist written blog that mixes topical posts with random facts. This has a slightly harder edge to it than the others but it's often very funny and informative.
• Beautifully Awkward hasn't been updated in a while but it's all about art and, as an artistically-challenged individual (I got a D on my GCSE level Art!) I find it interesting to read about a world I know almost nothing about.
• And finally, Sometimes I Will Put Things Here started out as a random collection of thoughts but has now been turned into a dream journal. I find it interesting to see what goes on in other people's heads!

So, there's my list! Don't forget to take a look at my Tumblr if you get a minute, I use it to post random pictures that catch my eye or to put up quotes or ideas that occur to me throughout the day.

I will write a proper blog soon, my diet has been very bad for the last couple of weeks but I plan to get back on track ASAP and will let you know how it goes!

Stay happy,
