This is my beautiful friend, Megan :) She's studying Spanish, and as part of her course she spent a year in Peru during our Academic Year 2011-2012. The other week she came to our Neighbourhood Fellowship to tell us all about her travels :) This included her showing us lots of photos (which, of course, I love!) of what she experienced while she was there, the lovely people she met, and lived with, and the beautiful places she visited. It was so great :) And she's an avid reader of the blog *Hi Megan!*, so I really wanted to get a photo of her on the night :)

Thanks again, Megan!

So I've got 2 weeks of blogging to catch up on...Apologies!

I remember getting home at this time and thinking "I haven't had a cup of tea all day...I love a cuppa." So I made one...good story, huh. I can't actually remember what else I did that day...oh! I'd been out at a friends for dinner :) That was 2 weeks ago...crazy. Time is passing too quickly!

Happy Bench Monday Birthday, Rachael! :)

My friend Rachael's Birthday is exactly a month before mine, and, unlike me, she's not so excited to get older each year, so each year I take great pleasure teasing her about turning a year older a month before me :) 

What's crazy is two years ago we were sat looking up the release date of the movie Fast and Furious 6, and thinking "2013...Two years!! We'll be 24 when that comes out! That's so far away..."

...and here we are, Fast and Furious 6 is being released this weekend...and the last 2 years have FLOWN BY! We can't believe it. But...only Rachael's gonna be 24 when we go see Paul Walker, driving fast cars...isn't that right, Rach? Heh heh heh.

Oooh...it's my birthday in a month! How exciting :) I hope it's a sunny day...

This is Zazu, my friend Murdo's bird. It hates people...I'd hate people too if they trapped me in a cage, and I regularly had to sit and listen to a group of lads talking about who knows what until early hours of the morning.

He's a cutie though, huh? He was allowed out of his cage for a bit while we were all round last night. He spent a loooooong time just perched on the roof of his cage, cleaning himself, and then all of a sudden the wings went wild and he took flight around the room. I won't deny I had a fear of bird droppings landing on me...Good times!

I'm kind of in love with this photo...I feel like it should be in a magazine. Haha! Cathryn's wearing a Harris Tweed coat from the 70's...Ah.mazing!

I had a lovely wee road trip to Edinburgh to meet Cathryn & Gareth for their Engagement Shoot :) We did a lot of walking around various locations. This shot was taken in the cute wee village of Ratho. I love a wee stroll along a canal, checking out the boats!

And before I headed back up the road I got to meet my friend Katherine for a quick coffee! So it was a very good day :)

I had to make a tray bake for our Congregational Fellowship at Church on Sunday night, so I went to my favourite recipe books on Friday evening, and enjoyed a wee break from editing, looking at all their delicious goodies! There were a few things I considered making, but with a trip down to Edinburgh for an Engagement shoot on the Saturday I didn't have a lot of time to bake anything too fancy, and I didn't want it sitting around for 2 days waiting to be eaten. So I chose their very simple, but seriously delicious, moist, chocolatey, scrumptious, mmmmmmmm, brownies! And baked them before Church on Sunday morning :)

I did take photos that included my face...but this is the only one I like where I'm lined up perfectly in the frame, my big cheesy grin was becoming a little too cheesy by this point.

I planned on doing a quick wee self portrait in the evening sunshine at Castle Fraser on Thursday night, as it's been a while since I've done a cringey one, but by the time I stopped working and got myself over there the sky was covered with clouds and the air was cold...so I decided just to head home again, and as I headed down the hill to the main road I spotted this tree, with the sun poking through behind it, so I pulled JD in to the side and hopped out for a few quick snaps :) Much easier than me attempting to pose myself!

On my way home I stopped in at the Fish n' Chip shop, in my pretty dress, and got myself some scrumptious fatty food! Yum!
