Friends.

I thought I'd post these photos of my gorgeous friends, taken the day I got back from my Christmas holiday. Best cure for homesickness! <3

Valediction - the act of saying farewell.

First of all, I would just like to point out that I love my life in Scotland, and that I am so happy I decided to move here. Just so we're clear on that.

But there is something about leaving all my loved ones in Norway that is really quite heartbreaking. 

I hate having to say goodbye to my family and friends. Especially my brother and my sisters. Knowing that I won't get to see them for months and months, it's the worst feeling in the world.

You would think saying goodbye, even if it's just for a while, would get easier in time. That you would get hardened, used to it. But instead it just gets harder every time.

My adorable sister.

These are the first photos taken with my new camera, Canon EOS 550D. 

I only used auto on these, so they are not terribly exciting I'm afraid. My sister does make an excellent subject though. <3 

Don't you agree?

Old photos

Because I have yet to take any photos with my new SLR camera, I thought I'd add some of my fave photos taken with my compact camera.
