Start of the summer term.

So easter's over..

and it basically consisted of revision/avoiding revision/trying to concentrate on revision/ignoring the revision.
BUT
The sun came outttt at last (which was a further distraction from the revision) and you can begin to smell fresh grasss and you need one less layer and can stop wearing Uggs and you start to shape up for summer because..
SPRING is here :)
okay, sure Croydon doesn't look as serene and beautiful as this but it's still wonderful nonetheless :)
It's nice to wake up in the morning to some sunshine as a pose to the dreary winter clouds and it's such inspirational weather for me to paint :) It was so wonderful last weekend that instead of doing revision I got started on this painting of the gardens down at my dad's old place (I still go there to relax because they are truly beautiful).

I found this mug and I love it :)

Irrelevant, I am aware.

Now.
On a more serious note, I would like to dedicate this post to a truly inspirational woman who I'm sorry to say, has tragically passed away.
My spanish teacher was a wonderful, amazing person who made me love spanish from my very first lesson and got not just me, but my whole year, through the awful ordeal of GCSE's. She then got us through our immense breakdowns over Year 12. She always believed in me, even when I couldn't believe in myself. Believed in us all. She was always there to listen to me, was always a shoulder to cry on, helped me through really hard times at home and was always a smiling face when I felt I had noone else to turn to.
I have my Spanish oral next Thursday.. the real deal. I hope I make you proud.
You will forever be missed by us all.
