Ah, autumn; I love the beautiful colours, the return of cosiness as the nights draw out, comfort food (and yes also the build up to Christmas - there, I said it
)...September and the next few months are my favourite time of year
I always get a bit nostalgic when we hit September, thinking about my childhood, where I am now and how much things have changed (or not!). So many things have changed for me this year that when I think back to January I can hardly believe it's only been a matter of months! This year has definitely been a big one for me! I feel like I've really started to find myself
I wonder what else this year will bring
I think it's good to take stock - there's a tendency at the beginning of the year to come up with all these amazing plans, but I think it's important to stop and see how things have panned out.
I went alpaca walking for my birthday. It was AWESOME. If you can go alpaca walking, do it! It's so relaxing, I felt totally spaced out (and very attached to my alpaca...I miss him
)
I'm still working my way through my exams - hopefully I've got two left to do and then I'm qualified! Yay! So, fingers crossed, I will hopefully be done with them next year and I can start getting down to my arting with more vigour
Art-wise, I've started a new painting but I don't envisage finishing it anytime soon as it's a big project and I'm fitting it in around everything else which is going on
What's your favourite time of year? I seem to be the opposite of everyone else...they all like summer, but I don't like being too hot so it's autumn/winter for me
