Take 2 - A Trip To Oxford

First of all, WELCOME to my new followers! Even though my following is few, I truly appreciate each and every one of you, please feel free to introduce yourselves... and thank you for follwing! 

Now, on with the show. Last week I was lucky enough to have not one but TWO consecutive days off... so I decided to take the opportunity to visit Oxford, where my LA sister is currently residing with her man. 
I'd never been to Oxford before, and was surprised by how close it is, despite living in the Midlands Countryside. 
It really is a beautiful city, full of history and countless quaint little villages. We accomplished so much in 48 hours that I have decided to split my trip into separate posts, as there are many, many photos and lots to share... it would be a tad tiresome to digest in one sitting! 


And so we come to Oxford, Part One. 


Monday, I collected my sister and begin the drive to Oxfordshire... stopping at a couple of little villages on the way, just to make sure they didn't have a plethora of untapped thrifted treasures waiting to be Biddled... disappointingly, they did not. On the way, we came across this fellow...
 I knew pigs could fly, I knew elephants could fly, but hey, no one ever told me sharks could fly!(Although arguably they can't land, as evidenced by this photo!)


Finally, we made it to our resting place. Where we sipped on red wine before heading out into the dusky Oxford evening.








Our walk into town led us along the canal and into a field, where we found yet another aquatic fellow who, like his  sharp toothed friend, had failed miserably in his aerodynamic endeavors.


In the city centre, we began the night playing phonetic Scrabble (a Biddle invention, full of fun and surprisingly difficult, particularly when you play regular Scrabble as frequently as we do!)...




Phonetic Scrabble! 


Next we shared a delightfully English night picnic, washed down with sneaky beers, on the stones step to one of the many historical buildings Oxford has to offer














We ended the night at The Gloucester Arms, where I indulged in another favourite pasttime of mine!
























I treated the locals to "Calling Dr Love" by Kiss hahaha


Then it was home to bed to recharge for the full day of sightseeing ahead!


Part 2 soon, with an abundance of photos to accompany it!


Love, love

30 Day Photography Challenge Part 2

Finally up to date with this mini project! 


Here are days 5 through 10! *click image to view full size*


Day Five - From a High Angle
Apologies to any Vegetarians out there... I adore animals.. but I'm a country girl... kitties will be kitties! 


Day Six - From a Low Angle
I think it's pretty interesting how my low angle photo came out like a high angle one hah






















Day Seven - Fruit
This is a strawberry plant from my days of working at the Garden Nursery, that is just starting to blossom again 








Day Eight - A Bad Habit 
Mmm mmm mmm I love sweeties!






Day Nine - Someone You Love
Edd and I have been steadfast companions since I was 5 and my Mama brought him home from a trip to Texas <3 
Day Ten - Childhood Memory
Chinese Solitaire. I wasn't lying when I said I was a SuperDork™. I spent so many hours as a child playing cards and games by myself... this version of Solitaire was one of my favourites. The antique schoolhouse Desk was also a 5th Birthday present, I've spent many hours drawing at that thing! Ahh memories


Hope you like!

Summer Goals


Elsie of A Beautiful Mess inspired me to make a list of things I would like to achieve this Summer. Here it is!

1) Ride a ferris wheel. In my 26 years I have never once indulged in this simple joy. This summer I plan to change that 

2) FINALLY get my US Work Visa and complete my official move to LA. Having all my belongings in one place is a goal I think everyone would agree to be worthwhile!

3) Play an open Mic night with Bree (this one maybe slightly unrealistic as for this to occur we need to reach several other goals such as LIVE in the same country, write rehearse, practice, practice, practice our material... all of which are already being put into slow but steady action!)


4) Continue to create, sew and sell my sister and I's handmade collection Biddleton! Taking baby steps towards our dream.


5) Share a romantic kiss (preferably in the rain.. but when combined with goal 2 and the time of year, this seems rather unlikely!!!)


What are your Summer Goals? Be sure to click the link above to have a read of Elsies!
