in germany we have this saying "vorfreude ist die schönste freude" which means something like anticipation is the best kind of joy. well, i think that's true.
tomorrow i am going to manchester to see the civil wars and the lumineers! i am so excited.

summer recap #1

roadtrip to scotland...

Edinburgh

lots of rain and wet feet

waving to the queen

backpipes

good food and drink

Glasgow

scottish national football stadium

nature walks

...and castles!

thinking about home

this really makes me miss home, swiss german, basel, and my friends.




"manchmal muss man erst in die ferne reisen, um frieden mit seiner heimat zu schließen"

just that.

life lately

this morning i did my laundry for the first time in the new house and hung it up outside - i just have to watch out for lancaster's unpredictable weather now...

started doing soul survivors "bible in one year" reading plan again -

see here for more information.

until thursday my brother was still here with me, longer than actually planned - 

due to the breakdown of our car but we had a very lovely time together. 

we hang out at starbucks...

...or at the fireplace in his hotel

and visited ashton memorial and other places.

yesterday i made pumpkin soup - which was delicious

and today my roommate and i gave our house a thorough cleanup - very productive weekend so far!

even though i already catched a cold (the english weather, i tell you) i am very happy to be back.

hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Back in the UK!

I just realised that I haven't posted something on here in over a month... Life has been very busy these last couple of weeks - I enjoyed the last summer days with my friends, celebrated my birthday, went to Italy and moved houses! I am back in England now, not living in halls anymore but in a lovely little house with three other girls.
Lectures started again and so far I am really enjoying to be back in Lancaster. My brother is still here this week, which is very nice.
I will try to upload some pictures the next days or weeks from summer and to be a bit more present around here.
Happy Tuesday!
