Day Trip

One sunny day friends picked me up and drove out into the Peaks. It was nice.

Start of the year - new toy

My new years resolution was to give Instagram a chance. Since getting an iphone I've been loyal to the quirks and analogue hit and miss of Hipstamatic. I just didn't understand why everyone was instisting that I would love Instagram. Pretty soon I was addicted, it isn't so much the manipulation of images but the community of other Instagrammers taking wonderful and inspiring photographs which frequently make me want to do more, make more and embrace being part of it.

My favourites are: sandrajuto, mmmm____, witanddelight, nickdewald, benjaminheath, lifeserial and yu0324.

The thing I was least expecting was to be inspired and then spend money finding thing I have seen! This is dangerous be warned!

Darlington

A catch up is a couple of snaps I took back in early September of my mini break in Darlington when I went to meet my darling.

Darlington has a beautiful and massive park, these photo's don't do it justice, they even have geese!

After much speculation and quite a few phone calls it emerged that the best place to find the traditional grub of Darlington the 'Chicken Parmo' was Best Kebab...

Waiting with anticipation...

It had to be done but it was awful!

Mild panic but all is ok

My friend has just shown me some photo's of her new home and I have got all inspired and quite jealous. The house reminded me of a Farrow & Ball styled house for their Spring 2011 colour range but IT'S NO LONGER ON THEIR WEBSITE!!!

I was horrified but after a quick google image search I have found enough images to remind me how good it was and I thought this was the place to highlight this amazing campaign.

Wall

If your ever in Sorrento call in at the train station ask the man to let you through the barrier and just down the stairs you will be greeted by this wall.

Don't use the toilet it is one of the worst train station toilets I have ever had the pleasure to use.

What are you doing there chair? #2

and then the next day....

The Docks - Sorrento, Italy
