Does it almost feel like, Nothing changed at all?

I can promise there is no better way to forget about the ever looming D words (say it quietly... diss-a-tation) than sledging! It's actually the perfect antidote fresh air, exercise, best friends. So on April fools day (when else!) we decided to track down, possibly, the last patch of snow in Sheffield.

After the obligatory 90's boyband/sitcom posing, it was time to start the trek... I do not say trek lightly it was a pretty big hill!

Completely worth it! blue skies at the top

Let the sledging commence

The art of trudging to quote A Knightstale (bit of a guilty pleasure in our family if I'm honest) To trudge: The slow, weary, depressing, yet determined walk of a man (or woman) who has nothing left in his (or her) life except the impulse to simply soldier on. Ok possible slightly less relevant to our plight, but nevertheless we were trudging alright!

loving life, and the view from the top!

Double sledging it -  a tricky maneuver only meant for the brave... often ends in collisions

Every avid sledger loathes the trudge back up the hill

Sometimes you even have to leave a man behind!

But nothing beats the exhilaration, and sheer joy of the journey down, somehow it wipes your memory of how tough the climb was to get there, so quick and so complete is the mindwipe, that you jump from your sledge, turn and begin to run back up the "mountain" before loosing both momentum and enthusiasm at the same time, ending in a possible faceplant situation (see below), before resigning yourself resolutely to "the trudge" once more. 

GIFs make me happy! A little bit more posing and we were ready to head home

Whats that you say? one more overly posed photo... oh go on then, its a cracker...

I do love the snow, but I definitely hope thats the last of it! I want sunshine and springtime and pretty closes, actually hold the sunshine until I've finished my dissertation and I can fully make the most. Hope everyone had an Eggcelent Easter

END SCENE

It's been cold for years...

Seriously! snow in my home town of Sheffield again last night, and Nottingham is more than chilly, we had a flurry today but thankful its stopped now. When you live a 20 min walk out of Uni the snow is not your friend!

However I seem incapable of even managing a 2 min walk with no snow... completely stacked it today outside my university library. delightful. 

Apart from my brief conversation with the pavement, I have done nothing of intrigue today so instead I shall talk about my weekend plans. On Saturday Me and my best friend are hopping on a fast train to London town to stay with my wonderful sister for two reasons. 

1) I am interviewing the lovely Olivia from What Olivia Did on monday morning for my dissertation and 

2) I managed to score free tickets to see Piers Morgan True Life Stories being filmed. No clue who the celeb is although I have my fingers crossed for David Beckham... aim high and all that!

p.s. sorry about the quality of my photos I really need to read my camera manual still, I can take some lovely photos on it but it doesn't seem majorly up for outfit shots which is a bugger.
