02:59 pm - MR FROSTY:


Last christmas
last christmas
last christmas

I am homesick, although its not really my home any longer. I miss Cambridge, my little town and my family&friends. I miss crispy cold early mornings, cups of real tea, sitting by the fire, FROST on the grass, pavements, trees, nose etc. I miss wrapping up really warm. Warm wine and christmas treats. Cambridge at this time of year is my FAVOURITE! Buying a christmas tree from the market, peering in all the little shops, the little cafes, taking the double decker bus around all the tiny villages back to SW, fields of frosty green, bike rides, cyclists everywhere.
I'm here again for the holidays, working on christmas AGAIN! I need the money. How sad.

El otro dia fuimos a las montañas, estabamos en un pueblo a 1 hora de Barcelona (se llama Montseny). Me sentí bien al pasar un rato en el medio de el pasaje, a sentir espacio y podia escuchar mis pensamientos. Soy de un pueblo y echo de menos vivir la vida de un pueblo. Todo las cosas son mas sencillas y mas innocentes. Me encanta. Pues no se si algun dia nos vamosa vivir en un pueblo. La vida, a veces, es triste aqiui en la big bad ciudad. Es que tengo recurdos de ser una niña, cuando jugaba con mis hermanas en el campo todo el tiempo. Fueron tiempos maravillosos. Ahh bueno cuento todo jaja...

For adventures in the car
For holidays in different lands
To visit home and see all my loved ones
