Summer has started.

The past week I haven't been up to a great deal. Luckily, half term came round pretty quick, and with exams this was just what I needed. I'm very lazy and I hate studying. I rarely get outbursts of motivation, and I lack concentration. The easiest way for me is to exclude myself from all forms of distraction, and completely isolate myself. So most days last week Lucia and I sat in the library for a few hours to get some sort of revision done. I haven't mentioned Lucia yet, but I will tell you more about her in another entry. She's too special, so deserves her own.
I spent most of last summer out with her, when she wasn't in France with her family. I think this year will be the same. We're both passionate about photography, and so we decided to go on an adventure. We looked up train tickets, and got a train from East Croydon station to the coast. I forget how much I miss the beach, I can't wait to move out of London.
The weather was perfect. We never really thought about how we would get from the station to the beach, turning up in an unknown area is all part of the fun. A nice young boy was keen to show us the way though.
We wanted to catch the sunset over the sea, neither of us really thought that the sun set from east to west, and we were on the south coast...
We still got some decent photos though!

We took some polaroids, too. Left the beach about 9pm, only to find our train had been delayed 19 minutes. It took about an hour and a half to get back to Croydon about half 10 at night. We weren't daring enough to get public transport home from such an area at that time of night. Or should I say, I wasn't brave enough.
