A strange and familiar feeling is hitting me. It's homesickness, and the reason it's strange is because technically, I am home. I suppose this is what happens when you have more than one home. When you stay in one for too long, inevitably you begin to miss the other. Unfortunately, my other home, England, is … Continue reading Missing Winch
Autumn
Today I had to break out the coat which in Winchester was my winter coat but here in Calgary is just an early autumn coat. School is starting for everyone again and in the morning I pass three other post-secondary institutions on the train before I get to mine. The summer as we know it … Continue reading Autumn
Winchester Day 4: The Hill
Well that didn't exactly go as planned. This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but the internet at my hostel was playing up so here we are, days behind schedule. No worries, we'll catch up soon I'm sure. Wednesday and Thursday I had a workshop thing until 4:30 both days, but I was planning … Continue reading Winchester Day 4: The Hill

I went for one last … Continue reading Winchester Day 3: The Cathedral

I came across a stall with a bunch of lavender stuff like candles and soaps and I saw cookies. Lavender cookies? Huh? It piqued … Continue reading Winchester Day 2: The Castle

It was a nice enough day and although I've been here for three years, I've got less than a month left so I figured, … Continue reading Touring Winchester
My First Trip to Winchester
The first of my many journeys between Winchester and home was...an adventure. I wrote it all down a while back, and now it's today's Saturday Story! Hope you like it. I took this picture. It turned out perfect. I arrived in London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 with a shoulder bag that was way too heavy, a … Continue reading My First Trip to Winchester
A Long Day Ahead
Sundays are 'Anything Goes' days. If I've got something to write, I will. If I need a break, I'll take it. If I just want to post a bunch of pictures or a YouTube video, I will. Today, I will write a good old-fashioned post. Tomorrow I will leave for home. The flat has been … Continue reading A Long Day Ahead
