Two zero one three

Happy New Year, my dear readers! Did you celebrate in style? I watched The Hunger Games with a lovely cold glass of Baileys and then listened to the fireworks from my bed. It was a cozy end to the year :)

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions? I love challenges, they keep me so motivated because I'm so competitive with myself. So here are mine:

+ Blog more - I'd love to spend more time here with you guys ♡

+ I've been a terrible penpal, I'd like to write more letters this year

+ Read 50 or more books - I'm going to sign up on Goodreads :) this one is a nice one because it means more reviews for you!

- Don't depend on others for my happiness

- No more procrastinating! / + Work hard!

And finally... 

+ Complete the 2013 Photo a Day Challenge:

The lovely Chantelle over at FatMumSlim has created this challenge and, I think, been running it for quite some time now. In fact, I think it was one of these challenges of hers that I took part in last May. I'd love to complete every single month this year. Please, please join me if you love taking photos too :)

I'll post my first picture right here. This morning my mum, little brother and I went for a walk along the beach. It was the first sunny day in ever such a long time! (You may have heard that England is sinking right now, there's been so much rain!) We had a lovely little walk up to the pier and watched while my sweet Macky chased after the seagulls! The prompt for this photo was 'Today':

Tell me about your New Year celebrations my lovelies. And let me know if you have any New Year's resolutions so I can cheer you on! Feel free to join me on any of mine, we can motivate each other!

One last thing... My computer is falling apart. Seriously. Websites don't load, my Word processor crashes every chance it gets, deleting my progress and my screen keeps going dark. So if I don't comment you, don't be sad. It will either be because my comment deleted while I was trying to post it, or because I've thrown my computer out of the window in a rage.

What have I done these last months?

Now that it's getting colder, the New Forest is really beautiful. The frost makes it really mystical. 

Aside from exploring the forest by our new home, I've spent lazy mornings walking along the beach. I love the little beach huts and the hazy winter sun. 

Most of my time has been taking up by reading for my dissertation. It's going to be based on Tolkien and the Icelandic sagas, so I've spent many cozy mornings in Starbucks reading and drinking christmassy lattes :)

What have you been up to my dears? Do you love the wintertime like I do?
