I want to put in a bay window in our main living room when we get around to replacing ours, but who knows! I'm super shy too - stops me from doing a lot but I learn to live with and around it.
ReplyDeleteI love bay windows- they're awesome! Same here too.

ReplyDeleteI love these posts, it's a great way to get to know people :)
Definitely are. Thought it would be a great way to do a bit of an introductory to myself haha :)
DeleteLove this post! We have so much in common. I think my anthem is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyaSQLlS5e8
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to learn the violin buy my parents got me a clarinet instead... maybe because we lived in a small house haha! I don't think the noises I produced were much better.
Do go travelling if you get the chance. It is one thing I regret. I wish I had gone with my friend from uni after we finished but I went home and got a job instead and life tends to take over after that. x
Thank you! :D I'll have a listen to your anthem, I can imagine I'll love it haha. I don't think I was actually pushed into violin or anything. There was a violin teacher came into the school and you could 'audition' for it and I did cause I wanted to play. Looking back now if I had had the opportunity for playing guitar or piano I would have taken that instead.
DeleteI'll definitely try to! :) x
Love this post! Gives me so much scope to write about things in snailmail. I'm going to do this kind of blog post too! Thanks for inspiring me. Xxx
ReplyDeletehaha yeah it certainly does! You should as well, no worries! xxx
