Nominated for the Liebster Award 2017!

Firstly just the fact that my blog has been read by people other than my friends, people that haven’t been nagged to read it, is unthinkable. But that I have been chosen from the thousands of bloggers out there as a nominee for an award is mind boggling! I have been nominated by Belle and Steph at Hautepursuitss for the Liebster award, an online award created with an aim to promote and recognise new bloggers. I’d like to thank them for their nomination, you can check out their greatness here.

If you have been nominated or want to know more about the Liebster award, it’s origin and rules please look here. 

My answers to the 10 questions I was given by Hautepursuitss.

1. What is the proudest moment or greatest achievement of your life so far?

My greatest achievement is completing both BA Degree and MA Degrees in Arts.

2. Out of all the places you have visited which place would you travel to again?

If we are asking about countries I would say Ireland. However one my favourite places on earth (that I’ve been to) is Latitude Festival.

3. Sweet or salty food?

I can’t choose. Don’t make me! I really really love cake, but sometimes all I want is a sausage roll!

4. How did you meet your best friend?

I don’t like the term best, they’re all great!

5. What is your favourite thing about traveling?

I find travelling quite a chore, I would love for teleportation to be invented! I love visiting new places and having new experiences, but wish the getting there was easier.

6. Mention the top 3 things on your bucket list.

• Visit Florence in Italy (when I learn to teleport!).
• Go to Glastonbury festival.
• Have a very white Christmas. I realise this is out of my control unless I travel to somewhere snowy… I do kind of like the idea of Christmas in a log cabin with a fire and hot chocolate. 

7. Who has been the biggest influence in your life? and why?

I believe that everybody you meet, however insignificant you think they are, influence your life in some way. Read the novel ‘The Five People You Meet In Heaven’ by Mitch Albom. 

8. Do you consider yourself a morning person or a night owl?
Can I say neither? I’m definitely not a morning person. Although always up early I need at least an hour and two cups of tea before I go anywhere or do anything. I think in another life (and my younger years) I would be a night owl, but routine, restrictions and age are against me.

9. What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
I’m not know for my spontaneity. I’m known for my planning.

10. What do you feel people take for granted the most?
Kindness. Is there anything easier, more rewarding or uplifting? ‘It takes guts to be gentle and kind’ – The Smiths. Oh and having a wee!
