Today, I finally got around to replacing my camera! The camera that, well over a year ago, I dropped so many times that the lens got stuck open, which would have cost £97 to repair, which I loved for its hot pinkness. Needless to say, I don't have a great track record! Before the hot pink beauty, I managed to smash the screen of my first Nikon, just before seeing the dawn in on a beach in Majorca, and I didn't do so well with shooting blind! (Man, I missed a lot of good picture opportunities.)
While I mourn the loss of those lovely cameras, I can now break in a new one! And this one should last a little longer given that I bought Jessops' accidental cover package which covers pretty much everything and lasts 3 years!
So what brought about this impulse buy? Basically, INSPIRATION! This week was the first of my third and final year at uni, and one of my modules (Documentary and Photojournalism) requires taking photos and editing them, and was taught in such a way on tuesday that I just wanted to go out and get snapping! So that is what I am going to do... look out Winchester! The paparazzi has arrived!

A bushel of apples...
What to do when your parents bestow the bounty of their apple trees on you.
Firstly, stick your head in the bag (but don't seal it, this is dangerous) and smell the deliciousness of them. This is VITAL in the enjoyment of them, so you don't get sick of having a sackful of apples taking up space in the kitchen.
Second, eat one, preferably in the sunshine.
Third, bake! Pie, baked apple, dorset apple cake, apple and cinnamon cupcakes (yet to be attempted...), and most importantly, APPLE SAUCE! This must be made in huge quantities, frozen if you cannot eat it all or share it out between your housemates, and put with practically everything; best with pancakes, french toast and dorset apple cake.
These are the rules of apples. There ain't no doctors going near me!

The first moment of this blog!
As I approach 3rd year at university, I am quickly moving from terrified to excited. The module that I dreaded has become inspirational and has finally convinced me to start blogging. After meaning to all summer, watching friends with blogs and finding more and more things to share with the world, I have taken the plunge!
This blog will be about my daily life, my experiences, what excites me and scares me, interesting facts and photos and websites that I find, and most of all, how on earth I will manage to fit everything into just 24 hours in a day!
I must apologise in advance if my constant posting about shopping and baking tempts anyone into splurging... that is not the intention, but may do you good! We all know the benefits of retail and chocolate therapy... And whatever splurges you succumb to, I can guarantee I am spending my money more recklessly and wasting my time on more trivial things, because that is what I do!
