Well... It's August, officially the "Sunday of summer" and I can't believe July is over. It seems as I get older time goes by alot quicker and I'm not entirely sure I like it. But I thought I'd write a little update about my summer so far!
I'm currently on my break from uni in my home town by the sea. As much as I love London it is lovely to be home with my family, friends and the fresh air, as opposed to the petrol fumes of the city. If there's one thing I appreciate at home its living near such a beautiful seaside towns. Being in London you can often feel a little trapped amongst the tall buildings and busy streets, and although you have the river nothing quite compares to a sunset over the sea. The waves crashing against the banks of the Thames isn't the same as the sandy beaches near my home.

Whilst being at home I have had the amazing opportunity to work at a place called Dreamland. This is a historic vintage pleasure park located in Margate. Being able to work here has been incredible and has made going to work seem like less of a chore and more of a fun experience. My colleagues are so friendly and its great seeing so many people so happy in the sun - although if most of the time I want to be on the rides rather than selling sweets! Either way Dreamland is an amazing place to spend my summer and it makes a beautiful picture for Instagram!

With all this being said I do miss London so much! I think my year at uni has definitely brought out my inner 'city girl'. There's just something about being in a busy place, surrounded by people in a city with so much to see and do that I love and can't get enough of. There's so many areas I have yet to explore and so many experiences to be had and I can't wait for them. London and my university are such incredible and diverse places to be which makes every day inspiring and interesting and although it may be expensive I wouldn't change where I live for the world. Although it is lovely to come home to the sea side too!
