Oh my word I love the idea of sharing roses and thorns. It sounds so much prettier than positives and negatives. My week has been a thorny one but last night I found out a really good friend of mine isn't moving away and we get to live together instead! So that was a very big rose this week.
Oh I absolutely love this idea :) the idea of roses and thorns is just beautiful (I'm jealous I did not come up with this!) I have also recently had a conversation with myself about appreciating my surroundings more (Paris) so i hope everything goes well with you in regards to discovering London - enjoy it! Moving abroad takes a certain commitment on our part once we've got to grips with the little cultural quirks of the new place (and tried out all the local gastronomy - or maybe that's just greedy little me!) Lou xx
I'm definitely not looking forward to the cold weather approaching - but we did have the most relaxing and chilled out Saturday on the couch watching tv with the rain going crazy outside. It was pretty perfect :)
Thank you!! Although I can't take credit for coming up with it, it's just something I grew up doing. You're right, there are a lot of aspects to living abroad (and I definitely agree about the local gastronomy!). But thanks, I really hope to appreciate London more this year, and I hope you'll be able to do the same with Paris! (And that you'll blog about it so I can experience the city through you :)) xx
Have you thought about creating a Roses & Thorns linkup? I love the creativity in that expression. In my second au pair job, my kids and I did highs & lows each day. It was a great way to spark conversation with them over dinner.
I hope you settle in to your new flat well! And hopefully the weather doesn't get you down, there's still plenty of lovely things to do when it's rainy and cold (mainly snuggling under a duvet, but that's fun!)
It still hasn't gotten cold here - it's actually still too hot! I'm jealous of your London explorations, I feel like it's one of those cities you can never explore enough - keep us updated!
My mom always used the rose and thorn analogy and I love that you're using it here. :) I'd love to visit London someday! I do hope you get to explore it fully. I'm also eyeing that Photoshop Lightroom 5 so may the best (wo)man win! ;)
I'm jealous that it's hot where you are (even if it is too hot)! I totally agree, I feel like I'll never be done exploring London. Will definitely give many updates!
Aw I love that she used it too! It's my favorite way to talk about these things. I hope you do get the change to visit London sometime, be sure to let me know if you do! And I've actually already won the photoshop, sorry! Hope you manage to get your hands on one soon as well :)
Definitely, and I need to remind myself that this kind of weather doesn't mean I can't have a great week anyway. Thank you, I was quite surprised and excited! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it!! And I'm glad to hear there was an awesome rose amidst your thorny week! Hope this one will be better :)

ReplyDeleteThat does sound perfectly cozy :). Those are the moments that make me think that maybe the cold weather isn't SO bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosie! For some reason I always find it comforting to talk about it that way. x
ReplyDeleteIf you love fog London is definitely the city for you! :)
ReplyDeleteOo! You baked a pumpkin pie! I need to do the same. I think it might be mush if I did but I might as well give it a shot :)
ReplyDeleteTrust me Lindley, if I can do it you can too!! I'm definitely no expert baker, but it was fairly easy!

ReplyDeletelove these posts, they're so cheerful rather than having a moan about things :)
