I guess you could say love comes in all different shapes and sizes. I’m not one for cheesy romance novels; characters falling in love within five minutes of knowing each other, the will-they-won’t-they tension and superficial relationships.

Yoga Practice, Notebook Obsessed & Slow Pancake Mornings Happy weekend! This week my parents booked flights to visit me in Madrid for the end of February which I’m oh so excited about. I also enrolled on a Japanese course, 3 hours classes taught in Spanish every Friday. So, with the…
