Hôtel Vila de la Mar Review in Ste Marie de la Mer


When we travelled to the South of France earlier in the year we went to the beautiful town of Sainte Marie de la Mer in the Camargue region to enjoy the amazing nature and the gypsy festival (you can read my posts here).

3 Perfect 2015 Moments


Can you believe it's almost December?  

It's ridiculous!  In my uni world it is week 11- the last week of teaching before revision week and exams.  Luckily I don't have any exams this semester, just one last deadline!  The first semester of my final year in St Andrews has been academically tough and kind of odd after coming back from my year abroad in France and most of my friends graduating.  But I've got some great friends and we're having a blast!
