Saturday was boring.. so I'll skip it and go straight to Sunday! Sunday was the harvest service at church so everyone had to bring food for the foodbank. Harvest isn't a religious holiday as such but is almost like a 'Thanksgiving-y' type affair. I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently its a British thing dating back to early Christians, where everyone would have a big feast in the village with everyone's successful produce. In the modern tradition, everyone makes or buys food for those who have less than they do and then sings songs about gratitude and nature and stuff. It's usually alot of fun, and has great aesthetics. Read more here... This years harvest festival was my first in a new church - and also first in a long time lol so I had a good time reliving good childhood memories associated with it. However, it was pretty busy and I think I was just feeling a bit anxious anyway, so at the end I was fully socially exhausted.. (っ- ‸ - ς) ᶻz
On Monday, I went to the cinema to watch the film Brides. The premise is that these two girls are running away to Syria to become ISIS brides. So I knew going in it was gonna be a sad watch.
Today (Tuesday) I took a trip to Oxford, home to the notoriously fancy and very beautiful university. I hadn't been before but my mum helped me plan where to go as she has been before. ^.^ The train journey was very chill and I listened to The Everglow by Mae. Oxford is very pretty to walk around as the architecture is soo pretty! All the university buildings are amazing looking and soo ornate.. I can't imagine studying there...
They also had a cute market - which is always one of my favourite things in British towns. What can I say we just love to trade things!
After walking around various churches and historic streets I decided to make a pilgramage to a vegetarian cafe I found on google maps. The walk was long.. and treacharous.. and I was soo hungry... but I made it yay! The food was all homemade and looked so good, so it was def a worthwhile trek.

Anyway, the museum had some great art and was very relaxing! Here are photos of my favourite paintings.

After doing some more shopping and looking around I went home. For my train journey I got a smoothie as a treat but I def made the wrong decision getting one with blackberry in it because the seeds were very.. crunchy..
Here are the things I bought:
There were more pictures than these - some dated 1950! The book smells very old and damp.. I don't think anyone else had opened it in a looong time.
The oil-pastels were just so cute, I couldn't resist. Hopefully I'll try them out tomorrow! ₊🖌⊹♡
In regards to the challenge, this week I have:
- not watched any YouTube
- watched 4 films since Saturday
- uploaded all photos from my music pages from imgur
- i have fixed my disk-man (needed new batteries LOL), so more CD listening is happening!
I would say the challenge is successful so far! Yay! (^__^)
Oxford looks so stunning during Autumn! And the salad looks great too, I love how colourful it is. How did you like Goodbye, Lenin? I loved the film, mainly because I looove Daniel Brühl :D.
ReplyDeleteGoodbye, Lenin was so great! Defo one of my favourite movies I've seen lately.. Autumn is such a good time to take pictures, with all the nice colours on the trees ^^ Thanks 4 reading btw!
