<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Uppsala you beauty, I will miss you so much! Thank you for all the fantastic memories you gave me, introducing me to some crazy wonderful people, and reminding me again of how brilliant it is to live in Sweden. Uppsala if you haven't heard of it already, is a tiny little city near Stockholm where I spent last year doing my masters. It's technically a city but really is a small university town with a big heart, its atmosphere dominated by a visible youthful exuberance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For me, places are extremely important. Everywhere I have ever lived is profoundly imprinted in my mind with a deep sentimental significance, whether I like it or not. The saying 'the people make the place' is often true, but the place itself will always have a unique atmosphere that is hard to replicate elsewhere. Uppsala possesses one that I will always treasure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was briefly there to hand in my thesis last week and now I'm back in London, unsure of the next time i'll be back to visit. This is actually the very first September I will not be returning to education and it's certainly a bittersweet feeling. I found myself surrounded by initiation ceremonies, study-groups, new students excitedly chatting about their first weeks. It's a wonderful time of year and I was definitely sad not to be part of it this time round. I'll miss the coffeehouses, the tiny streets, the swedish berries, the long, deep winter and the short, but exciting spring. I'll miss the dinner parties with mismatched plates and looking out at the snow falling, but most of all, i'll miss my dear friends who are still amidst the magic of it all. Below are some autumnal moments from my stay.. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's the weekend! It's bit grey and lackluster in London today however, so I'm not overly enthused about going outside even though I probably should. Instead I'm reminiscing back to last weekend's fun in the Stockholm sunshine when I ate cherry ice cream, wandered around aimlessly with my friends and people-watched to my heart's content. Here is a selection of a few little moments I captured during those final summer days. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love ships! If I had the choice I would spend my life at sea, eating biscuits, catching fish, wearing stripes (the entire clich<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 14.545454025268555px;">é</span> woul</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">d be brilliant). I blame this fascination on my parents, who continue to enthusiastically decorate our house with a nautical theme. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There must be something so exciting and free about having a boat, being able to set off into the horizon anytime you feel like it, having complete agency over one's own travel. The geographical possibilities are endless, as is the supply of fresh seafood.. it must be fabulous! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's fun to hang out by the sea in Skeppsholm in Stockholm and watch the proud owners of ships moor their boats in the sunshine, wondering where they have been and where they are headed next. The boats themselves are stunning creations, a harmony of wooden planks, steel poles and tightened ropes, they evoke the inevitable drama of the sea. I imagine the lines being pulled to adjust the wind pressure, the sails being rigged to change directions in a storm, the lifeboats prepared for the worst. There is no adventure without risk, as they say, and what could be more risky or adventurous than living life at sea! One can dream..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">As I made my way across Stockholms Skeppsholms bridge, I couldn't help but check out this stylish couple. I love the splashed lines of color on her oversized jeans and how it compliments her knotted vest. He is all about a loose fit and muted colors, but his cherry-red hat ties it all together. They make a great pair. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my opinion, the best thing about big cities is their spontaneity. The relative anonymity they provide seems to spur people to act free from the lasting judgement of social constraints and behave a little bit more compulsively. Each day that I walk around capital cities like Stockholm or London I inevitably get approached by quirky strangers or witness amusing or carefree behaviour and I love it! If you ask me, spontaneity is the true spice of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last Sunday was no exception when I was walking around </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">S<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 14.545454025268555px;">ö</span>dermalm with Nui. We spotted a jazz band consisting of three dapper gentlemen playing an infectious tune and stopped to listen for awhile. Suddenly a couple of girls with matching outfits jumped into the centre of the crowd, twirling, waltzing and swinging to the music, laughing like school kids. I really admired their confidence and sense of fun, not to mention their stunning black jackets. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Roma is my stockholm go-to-person. Walks around the city are perfect with him because he walks fast, knows where to find all the secret beautiful views and even where to get free coffee, he's full of little tips and tricks. We met on Sunday evening as the sun set and hot air balloons rose above the city, the perfect atmosphere to catch up on the weekend's events and stroll around our favourite spots. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He's incredibly photogenic (must be his Russian genes!) and didn't mind me snapping a few shots while the evening light struck his face. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It might be awhile before I'm back in Sweden again this year, I'm really going to miss our chats and how much he makes me laugh! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There's a wonderful bridge in Stockholm where fishermen and fisherwomen gather each day to try their hand at catching something delicious. Their visible camaraderie extends across all age boundaries, and it's lovely to watch them bond over one of life's simple pleasures. As I was photographing them a curious boy stepped into my frame, looking wistfully on as they reeled in their lines. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This weekend was a scorcher in Stockholm. Nui and I headed down to the water to relax with absolutely no agenda for the day other than catching up on the summer's events (and eating ice cream of course). We lazed on a wooden bench in <span style="background-color: white;">Södra Blasieholmshamnen</span> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and people watched to our hearts content while the sea breeze cooled us down. We spied eccentric tourists, elegant</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> elderly c</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ouples, mischievous</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> kids, to name a few. I'm pretty sure if we hadn't gotten hungry we would have stayed there all day! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought she looked gorgeous so she graciously let me play paparazzi for a bit. I love her use of color-blocking, I think it works especially well when paired with neutral accessories and a fitted denim jacket. Her choice of scarlet skinny jeans and a cosy blue top was both practical and fun, perfect for messing about in September's transitional weather! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just look at those eyes, those cute little ears...those whiskers! Squirrels are adorable, it's simply indisputable. One of my favourite things about Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens is not only are they brilliant places to people watch, but also home to hundreds of very friendly squirrels. One Saturday I packed some cashew nuts and headed to the flower walk where they were scurrying around playfully jumping from branch to branch. We had a lovely time hanging out with them, coaxing them to jump and climb all over the place (including on us) and in the process I discovered just how photogenic they are! Complete sweethearts, i'll have to pay a visit again soon. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Christa is one of my favourite people. She's bold, smart and utterly hilarious. Fashion has always been one of her strong points and thus she's always my go-to shopping partner! I'm often amazed at the outfits she puts together, and part of me believes its all down to her attitude. She's taught me that if you have the confidence to wear what you love, there's no doubt it'll look good on you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I really like this relaxed vibe with a slouchy tee and loose denim, paired with an ornate necklace and velvet flats. Comfortable and stylish, it's the perfect myriad of masculine and feminine.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Remember that feeling of elation and fear when you go too high on the swings, or the fun of just hanging around in the playground with your friends? As our studies come to an end, we found ourselves there once again, laughing at the boys in the skatepark, playing hopscotch and swinging until we got dizzy... maybe we'll never grow up! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the best things about spring is the imminent arrival of duckings. Cute, fluffy, feathered and bemused, they provide endless enjoyment and warm the hearts of everyone everywhere. Never has the presence of ducklings failed to put a smile on my face, they're brilliant! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
This year, every time I was lucky enough to see them I never had my camera with me, until bang, right in the middle of summer when I found some late bloomers! I was having lunch in the park when they wandered over, waddling in their characteristically amusing fashion. They were simply adorable, one minute huddling next to their mother and the next running off in search of adventure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think it's their mix of vulnerability and curiosity about the world that makes them so endearing..(that and their perpetual fluffiness) </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not quite sure where to begin! I had heard from friends and family that the Notting Hill Carnival was one of London's must-do events, so I marked it in my diary months in advance. I knew it was a celebration of West-Indian culture and there might be a parade and some jerk chicken but that was pretty much it. I was certainly in for a surprise! As we crossed Holland Park to enter Notting Hill, it became clear that all of London and half the world were there that day. Apparently each year it attracts over one million people, making it one of the largest street festivals worldwide. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
People spilled onto the streets and joined in with the moving anaconda of color and music. The energy and the atmosphere was infectious and before long I was dancing and trying to simultaneously photograph all the amazing scenes around me. There were people of all ages and races just cutting loose and having a good time, smiling, clapping, dancing, watching, listening, simply feeling the moment. It was complete chaos in the streets, smoke billowing from food tents, people climbing on signposts, drunk friends staggering together arm in arm, feathered party-goers gyrating on policemen, kids having water fights..the list is endless. Everywhere you went you saw people smiling, just genuinely happy to be part of such a powerful celebration. I think that was what really resonated with me, the pure happiness that surrounded it. We followed the route for a few hours and then went for a drink on our friends roof terrace, surveying the madness from above. After a little recuperation we got back to the action on the streets before heading home as the sun went down. It was truly euphoric and I can safely say it was one of the best days I have had in a long time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was visiting Cambridge last week and whilst meandering around the market stalls in the main square, I happened upon a Latin band playing their hearts out. The trio were so full of energy and passion, they immediately drew a large crowd. Dressed in bohemian shirts flowing dresses and dark shades, they exuded a kind of effortless cool. It was as if we were no longer in a cloudy English town, but transported to a warm and alluring Spanish city.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was wandering around a sunkissed Hyde Park earlier this afternoon,photographing birds and getting up the courage to approach people, when someone actually came up and approached me! Oddly he didn't seem to have an agenda, but was in London on holiday and liked the idea of striking up conversations with strangers. (you have to admire his confidence!) We talked about nonsense for awhile and then parted ways. A very interesting encounter! I really liked his style, preppy with an urban twist. Anyone who wears a bird on his hat gets my vote! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">While in Oxford one Saturday, I spotted this duo harmonizing on the street, one with a cello and the other with an electric guitar. An unlikely mix, but it worked fluidly, the boy in purple providing the soulful notes and the boy in black giving it spice. They played so beautifully together, I stayed rooted to the spot, watching them synchronize their sounds. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I've been spending a lot of time in Cambridge and Oxford over the last few weeks, mainly because as part of my summer job I'm required to regularly give a tour of these cities to large groups of international teenagers. This is quite ironic, seeing as I've never actually been to these places before, but after some time...you learn to wing it (with a map, a sense of humour and inflated false confidence). After I've shown them the main sights, I'm free to explore, and I so I headed straight for the river to check out the famous tradition. There is something quite romantic about punting, breezing along the river, ferrying passengers to and fro, having a beer. I could have watched from that bridge all day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't say I'm particularly fond of insects. I'm normally the kind of person that runs a mile when they see a spider or a wasp nearby. When you live in the countryside though, these sort of things don't bother you. Every year when I head to my farm in Sweden or Vincent's house in Provence, the bugs come flying out. They are under the bed, in the bed, in the kitchen, in jars, on the window, on the patio, on the leg of your chair.. honestly...after a point, you just give up and get used to it. live and let live as they say. You inevitably get bitten, but perhaps thats just part of the package of being in those surroundings. On closer inspection, some of them are even quite beautiful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I love Siamang Gibbons! Aside from the fact that they resemble us so closely, their dextrous arms and quick reflexes allow them to swing from branch to branch with incredible ease and agility. Honestly it looks like so much fun, I'm inspired to take up climbing lessons. Apparently they can even swing up to fifteen feet in just one move, which is really impressive! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
They are truly beautiful to watch, and it saddens me to learn that 80% of their habitats in Sumatra, Malaysia and Thailand have been destroyed due to the booming palm oil industry. I really hope governments start to realize that the sooner we prioritize the protection of wildlife, the more chance we have at ensuring the balance of our ecosystem.(Hopefully before it's too late.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I applaud the work of national parks and conservation centres around the world who make a joint effort to breed and protect endangered species like this one, they really make a difference. The world would certainly be a poorer place without the presence of these fellows! I watched them playfully clamber around the place at Fota Wildlife Park while ducks splashed about in the stream. Not a bad way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<u>*fun facts*</u> They have no tails. Since their arms are always busy swinging around the place, they like to carry things with their feet. They also have a special throat sac that amplifies their call, which can be heard up to two miles away.(That would be useful) Apparently they mate for life and regularly sing duets with their partner in order to maintain their bond and establish territorial boundaries. (You know what they say...couples that sing together, stay together!) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My favourite day of the year has to be my birthday, as self-centred as that sounds! Though it can feel unnerving to get older I place a large importance on marking them as an occasion, probably passed on from how brilliant my parents were at making me and my siblings feel so special on that one day a year. When I get the chance I try and do the same for those closest to me, there's nothing quite like being spoilt even if it's just a muffin with a candle in it, or a scribbled homemade card, it all counts. Even after all these years I was definitely touched by the little details. My parents still wrap up anything, even if its a keyring or something lying around they thought I would like. It's become a bit of a joke over the years, and I always expect the kind of free merchandise that you get on planes and from companies they represent! Year after year they write me a message in a funny card and arrange everything so beautifully that I just melt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This year I was twice as lucky, treated to cake in the garden, bubbly on the beach and dinner at a beautiful little restaurant in Vieux Nice. After blowing out my candles we ended the evening by visiting Fennocchio's ice-cream parlour and buying some wacky flavours to eat by the boats. All in all, a wonderful day...and I'm so grateful to my family, friends and boyfriend for being so sweet! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is nothing I love more than coming home after being away for awhile. My family tend to spread out in all directions due to our varying work and life commitments, so this feeling is one we know all too well. Our house in Cork is like a base where we all meet from time to time, a familiar, cosy and wonderful haven bursting with memories and links to our past. Each piece of furniture, knick knack or painting has a story and they have all come to deeply represent the essence of what I call 'home'. Thanks to my mum's dedication - Swedish design dominates, with hints of Ireland and of course, the Middle East. I realized it's the little details you grow used to that make all the difference, be it in my case the playfully colorful glass, soft rugs, fake tulips or arabian coffee pots, they are the sum of what makes any house a home. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a lovely stay, and I was sad to leave my parents as usual. Moving to London as a new graduate is my next chapter, I hope it will be as exciting as I think it will be! Home, sweet, home..it's been wonderful, see you next time! x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I recently took a trip to the Maeght Foundation in St. Paul de Vence in France. I'm a big fan of art and never pass up an opportunity to wander around a gallery for a day as I get so much from it. I don't claim to know an awful lot about art, having never studied its various periods and defining moments, however each time I go I am inspired and captivated by the stories told and learn more about it as a result. I love that feeling, and I wanted to look at other people's connections to the art around me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had a shy visitor at the house a few weeks back, the cutest little black and white cat just wandered onto our patio one afternoon. Needless to say we spent half the day giving her milk and trying to get her to come close. (too much time on my hands, #graduateproblems) She had such elegance and composure, not to mention beautiful fur...I wish she was mine! </span></div>
