Remember last monday? Thats right it was snow day. Not for me however, Im here in not so sunny rainy Barcelona. We don't get snow here. I was in a jealous rage seeing everyone upload photos to their flickrs and update their facebook status's. How dare they have a day off? The best snow England's had in 18 years, paah! I really miss that bitter chill, the beautiful white greens/parks/gardens. I miss naughtyness and children and adults alike cheerfull and playing. I miss breathing and seeing your breath.
I developed this old film the other day and was pleasently taken back to a nice snowy winter a few years back. I love how snow photographs, beautiful milky grey skies, white white snow.

So here's to playing and being homesick about snow and winter

I just recently developed this film from my trip to Boston, USA. This trip is actually one of my most fondest memories. I was studying art and had my head full of ideas and inspiration and it was wonderfull to be in a different city with its cold grey landscape. I loved walking aound huddled up in layers on scarves, hats and gloves. I remember it well, the smells as we first got into the city from the scary airport. I rememeber all the big buildings and fast food restaurants with their gaudy glowing lights. I was with my sister and it was a time in my life where everything was quite uncertain. It was amazing to be close with m sister and stay in our hotel room with princess beds and room service. And oh! The buffet breakfasts in the morning..wonderfull. It was nice to have that close time with my sister and remember it. At the time my dad was in a relationship with scary-Marion. It was actually quite fun, and a little mean thinking about it now, to plot to get away from her. We were statying in a small town called Andover just outside of the city, it was so good to get the old creaky train with its cracked leather seats into the city everyday. I just loved exploring, not really having a plan. We went iceskating on a pond, to the childrens museum, to eat at quincy market, the backstreets of cambridge abnd finding great diners and vintage shops, small independent art museums with pet cats and dogs, the breakfast buffets, the basketball game, watching shit telly in the princess bed whilst eating room service. There are so many amazing memories. Such as hanging out in Newbury comics (I think that's the name..) When it was to cold to bear the bitterness. Oh and cheers bar!

It seems like I have too many things to write about this trip so I will end it hear.
I want my sister to write what she remembers too!
