Berlin Birthday

After whizzing through Berlin last Summer whilst interrailing I decided it was probably my most favourite city in the World. Last month I spent my 20th Birthday there and that changed to most definitely.

Birthday's are good things at the best of times, so to spend one in my favourite city with some of my favourite humans was basically the greatest idea ever.

It was a good kind of day filled with brunching, baklava and bumbling. The baklava was owing to our first stop after a lazy brunch, as we set out to the Turkish market, diving between stalls to admire ripe, round produce and escape the drizzle.

The 'Buchstabenmuseum' was echt cool - essentially 3 rooms filled wall to ceiling with old neon signs to celebrate the art work in sign making and typography. It's only open till November so if you are around I recommend you to pop in!

Dinner outside just about made possible by the delicious bowls of Pho we devoured. A side of people watching and time to make plans of just when exactly we can just move right away to Berlin, please.

Oh yeah and don't ask about the pumpkin..

Autumn

 

Crisp leaves, muddy boots, fresh air - time to venture out to appreciate what's on your doorstep. Even if you live in the city, on our little green island you are never too far away from the leafy corners and windswept beaches of escapism. On the pitiful balance of a student's bank account and coursework-crammed diary, bigger travel plans shall have to wait till the summer months - for now stomping up the local common to check out the storm damage or taking my camera along to capture this beautiful, transitional season shall suffice. Hopefully the chilling winds that seem to be here to stay will whip up some winter swell to give me an excuse to journey off down West to catch a few waves. 

Blog revamp.

Autumn is the season for change as the leaves turn, the weather gets chillier and the food gets stodgier. So as the days get shorter and the nights get longer, I though it would be an ideal time to add one more change into the mix, and that is the appearance of 'Big World Small Girl'. Everyone needs a change of scenery from time to time; people take holidays and travel and so on. With the blog it's just the same - time for something new and fresh. Please do tell me what you think and be as honest as you like! Any comments at all are welcome, would love any feedback you have.
