One Whole Year

Huzzah huzzah! Today officially marks a complete 365 days since I opened my laptop and published this blog post. You don't have to click the link, it basically just says some weird, largely incoherent stuff about how I've forgotten how to be a human being after completing my final year of uni and that I was now, with my new found free-time, super committed to like blogging and stuff. Words. I'm great at them.

Obviously, I ten-thousand percent was all like "yeah, this is going to last for about five minutes and then I'm going to run out of inspiration and give up". But alas, this was not to be a repeat of the Professor Layton Nintendo DS game which I gave up on after I couldn't complete level five, this was to be different. Mucho mucho different.

And lo-and-behold, 113 blog posts later, here we are. Happy unofficial first birthday, Life as Eleanor! What, if the Queen's allowed to do it, why can't I? So, to mark this exciting day, I've complied a list of some of my favourite blog posts from the last year. Some of them even make sense.

1. That time I announced my comeback tour (and 100% did not believe a word I wrote about sticking to it)


2. That time my two best pals and I explored Albufeira, in the sunny sub-continent of Portugal


3. That time I went to Bill's for breakfast and ate pumpkin seeds on eggs benedict 


4. That time I contemplated what I'd learnt in my twenty-one years of life


5. That time I had a birthday


6. That time I had a monstrous afternoon tea and almost passed out


7. That time I got a job and kickstarted my career *dances*


8. That time I admitted I'd become middle-aged


9. That time I graduated while wearing sky high heels 


10. One of those times where I shared a sneak-peak into my daily working life


11. That time Windsor dressed up in its Christmas finery


12. That time I decided to make some resolutions for the new year


13. That time I admitted that I am so totally not a morning person


14. That time I went to the London Coffee Festival


15. That time the Queen of England turned ninety and let everyone know about it


16. That time we all realised I have a thing with Wisteria

Happy birthday, Life as Eleanor. Time to drink champagne and dance on the table!
