four years

And you beside me love.
Lost in your world, your thoughts.
Wherever you are love,
Is where contentment lies.

Today is our four year anniversary, we celebrated yesterday with a trip to London.

Fuelled with snacks of peanut butter and date cookies,

we walked through old stamping grounds, Camden to Parliament Hill.

Making a wish on top of Parliament Hill.

Nobody in the bathing ponds yesterday!

Then into Hampstead to Keats House,

and into Hampstead village for refuelling at Starbucks.

Finally, through Belsize Park into Primrose Hill for drinks at the Pembroke Castle (my old local and infamous for the number of times the staff have thrown Liam Gallagher out!) before dinner at probably my favourite restaurant in the world!

Manna is an almost predominantly vegan restaurant and holds many many memories for me, some good, some not so good but it was wonderful, finally, after all these years to go on a date with Himself there (even if Himself felt duped by the lack of dead animal). I ate everything before remembering to take photographs, but you can have a look at the menu here.

And then home to Cambridge (via a roundabout route due to engineering works). Because it is only when revisiting the scenes of your past that you can truly appreciate how far you have come, and how important it is that I am where I am right now.

When life gets in the way – stop!!

Sometimes life gets in the way of my search for bliss. By life I mean bills, money (or lack thereof), mood swings, the happiness of my other half. Sometimes life escalates into petty squabbles, disagreements and a general feeling of gloom…

But hang on. Stop a moment!

Spring is here, the sun is shining and when I open the kitchen window I can hear the birdsong and smell the sunshine…

And there it is. Bliss is right there – always. You just need to know where to look for it.
