Travel Diaries / Prague



Ahh pretty Prague! Land of super cheap public transport and vegan food! Oh and loads of pretty building obviously.
This was our first trip abroad together and it was a lovely one. Unfortunately we lost a day due to a flight cancellation (wah!) buuuut we still really enjoyed Prague. There wasn't really anything not to like!
I got to introduce Dan to one of my favourite artists, Alphonse Mucha and see some of his original work for the first time. 
We discovered a vegan chain called Loving Hut, oh my goodness, love that hut we did 😍It was a cheap buffet style restaurant where you paid for your food based on the weight at the end. It was sooo yummy. Even though we were only in Prague a few days we went there a couple of times. The staff the second time weren't great, I'm not sure if it was a bit of a language barrier (I think I read the restaurant is Asian/Vietnamese), but the food was still great. And so many bonus points for being totally vegan.
We've since discovered a Loving Hut elsewhere, on route to San Francisco, but that one wasn't as good. It was in a shopping mall and a different style set up/more expensive but if you're ever in Prague, I highly recommend checking it out.








I think our highlight of the trip was our jazz boat cruise and dinner on the river. It was so lovely! Plus at the end we got to have a little dance on the top deck while everyone else was still sat below and a bevy (Googled what a group of swans is called, disappointing) of swans past us. I've never seen so many together in my life there must've been about 50 it was like something out of a film! 










Outfit wise, I was Collectif based! These three dresses helped carry me through from day to night wear.



Ah I also took this Lindy Bop keys print skirt that was great to pop over my Wednesday Collectif dress for a jazz club one night!


For our amazing night cruising and dining on the river Vltava with a live band, we dressed up and I wore a more formal beautifully made 40s style Collectif dress in navy with a vintage brooch.

I'd love to go back to Prague, it wasn't really someone that was particularly on my list but we both fancied somewhere new, and 'coupley' and it sounded like it ticked the right boxes and I'm so glad we went.

Sad Journal Part 2

 In follow up to my last one, more hurt time in relation to the same topic... So back in 2020, when I'd just turned 31, I started feeling like I was less sure about whether I wanted kids or not, after 30 odd years of thinking I definitely didn't.  He and I had a conversation about it where I said I was less sure about not wanting them, ie potentially may do at some point, and he said he felt the same so that was good.  We both agreed though that there's an 'order' we'd like to do things and it'd be something to consider after getting engaged and being married.  I said that I'm now in my 30s and as risks start increasing way more rapidly after 34, then maybe it should be a bit of a '5 year plan' (but less...) type deal as with an aim to be trying by at least 34. So, I thought after all this serious life talk, we may have been engaged within 12 months, ideally married in the following 12 months, and ready to start trying to start a family when I ...

Sad Journal

Another personal journaling post so will be making this one private too. I find it helps to write and get things out though, I recommend it. At least it's less frequent that I'm feeling the need to write these I guess. Things just haven't turned out like I thought they would in life. Some things for the better, some have been disappointing and get me down because I hoped to be in certain places with my relationships. He's been struggling with his anxiety and feeling over-worked again saying 'yes' to too many work commitments, not sleeping well at all and not seeming himself and feeling down about comparing himself to others etc but I'm feeling the toll on myself too again :(   A couple of nights ago we were watching a film and he randomly started asking me what sort of wedding I'd want and stating what he doesn't think he'd want, he's thinking he just wants something small etc, I was like  "I don't know?! We're not even engaged...

Questioning

lots of things.  Late night ponderings. Feeling sad. You know when you just want need a hug and that feeling of support from someone and want to be able to trust people around you 100%?  Also, not being able to scream into the world all the reasons why you get these feelings and worries.  I guess this is my vague way of doing that, trying to ease the stress and sadness a bit without actually sharing as such.  Some of the things I'd forgotten myself but had reminders of this eve and, my days,  people can be truly awful.  So immoral and with such horrid ways of looking at things and saying things... Distracting myself with writing. Writing and looking up those daft Leonardo with a smug face memes. Sillyyyyy. They're helping though. As is the writing. I do worry though. People are a disappointment really, aren't they? Generally.  They all just let you down.  That's how I'm feeling about the World this evening I guess. Wanting the best for someone,...
