Out East.

I'm still here, but I've only got a week left in Berlin (in fact, this time next week I'll be on a train somewhere around Leeds, on my way back to Durham from my Dad's). Last week, though, I had a week off work and I popped out to Poland and to Budapest and mostly forgot to take photos.

Here are some of the ones I did take...

Buildings in Warsaw old town//

Sunset over the mountains in Slovakia (taken on the bus from Krakow to Budapest)//

various sights of Budapest from various angles

Poznan (of which there are no pics...) was wonderful; Budapest even more so. Warsaw was nice enough but I didn't need to stay so long, and I have no desire to return, unlike most of the other places I've visited on my travels.

All the above pics are from instagram, btw...

today was a good day.

there was also a woman at one of the vintage-y stalls wearing a huge purple hat with 3 equally huge lilac feathers protruding from it. it was amazing. if she hadn't been busy i'd have got a picture... but she did say she loved my skirt. score!

also, the jam is lush, the coat is amazing, and the rings are awesome. and i bought Elle in town afterwards.

so the plan for the rest of the day is:

a) eat jam... already done

b) do some work

c) watch x factor

d) eat more jam; read Elle and the Vice mag i've had lying around for days

tales from the riverbank.

lazy sunday blogging. yesterday - lunch, then a walk to the park which ended in a stroll down to the river with the boys catching fish in empty drinks bottles and me ambling across the river to sit on a tree. enjoy?

all the pics are from Thomas' phone....
