Half Way There: Longboat Key

26 October 2011

Little Piece of Paradise

As you may of noticed I've been a little absent from the social networking world this last week, the reason for this is I've been taking a break, in Florida, as you do!

For the same 2 weeks every October for the last 19 years my family have enjoyed going to a villa at White Sands in Longboat Key, Florida. Throughout my childhood I was lucky enough to go with them most years and this beautiful place holds many happy memories for me. Due to A levels and university I hadn't been for 6 years, until last week. In need of a time out from 4th year life I made the somewhat spontaneous decision to join them, I didn't realise just how much I needed the space until I was there, and even more so, how much I needed to see my Mum. I'm incredibly lucky that my time out happened to be somewhere so gorgeous!

I just thought I'd share some bits of my little piece of paradise...

I started this blog in 2010 simply because I wanted to write a blog on pretty things. It was a happy mish-mash of whatever made me tick at the time; anything from family, films, baking, to musings on what life might be like after university. The name 'Half Way There' seems more applicable than ever now. In 2015, I am 25 years old, fresh off a graduate scheme in the financial services into a permanent role and navigating regular quarter life crises.

My aim for the blog now is to do much of the same; a happy mish-mash of posts that reflect this new period in my life.

Expect general career posts, learning from my grad scheme experience, more personal subjects such as work/life balance and my musings for what the next 5 years might hold.
