Tom and I are having one those moments where we are being ruthless with the amount of junk we have in our home. I mean it is the time of year for it isn't it.
Our bedroom is the second largest room in our house and consequently we fill it with lots of stuff, cram it everywhere, under the bed, on top of wardrobes. It's kind of hilarious that people think we have this beautiful home when in reality I choose to show only snap shots of our home when the piles of dirty laundry and bits and bobs are just out of shot!
We dug out all the boxes under the bed full of wires and random notebooks and set to really sorting them out. I found three disks marked 'old pics' and this is what I found on one of them.
A few peeks into a time I went to spain with a uni friend for a few weeks. We stayed with a family friend and travelled around Malaga (not the touristy bit but the campo in the mountains) and Tariffa, road tripping between the two on hot dusty roads and learning really quickly how to ask for a bottle of beer.
Unfortunately me and said friend fell out quite spectacularly after day three and so the next few weeks were at times quite fraught! Travelling and sharing the same bed with someone you are barely speaking to is not something I really would recommend to anyone, sheesh!
Regardless it was quite nice to look at these pictures and remember a different type of me, from almost ten years ago now! I've always been quite a homebody but recently I've been day dreaming about travelling with my little family. Not long adventures but I'd love to see parts of the world with my two favourite people by my side. I wonder if that's what was always missing from my adventure bug gene I was just waiting for the people to do it with?
These pictures were taken by a family friend named Gavin who kindly let us stay in his home and travelled with us also to Tariffa. I'm kind of regretting not visiting Morocco when we were so close but maybe that's for sometime in the future :)

Fabulous photos Fritha, just wonderful. I love looking at the way back when photos then linking them up to what's the story?, it's a great excuse to air them. It's weird looking back on travels before being a parent isn't it. You should definitely plan a family trip though x

I love looking through old photos - I don't have many from when I was younger unfortunately, of the fun student times and just after. Those I have are very precious.

Wonderful photos. I really like looking through my old photos. Uni days/School days almost seem like a different life, I feel like a whole different person nowadays. It is still great to look back though. :-)

Ah these are amazing! I lived in Spain for about a year in 2007 as Matt's mum bought a house and moved out there, I can remember quickly trying to learn how to ask for a beer too! x

Love these photos! Sometimes I wish I didn't have such wanderlust, or travelling yearning, because it sometimes really gets me down that I can't just up and go!

We've been having a clear out and have decided to be ruthless; the amount of stuff we have is ridiculous! Love the photos :)

I love looking back an old photos and these ones are beautiful. Can't imagine having to travel with someone you've fallen out with but glad you still have good memories of this trip . x
It's a strange feeling to come across old photos. You can be transported so easily back to that moment and it's magical! How nice to find them and remember your time then x

I really love these photos and even though you had a big falling out it's always lovely to look back at a different time - and this mini road trip looks blissful :)

I am in introverted homebody, but also enjoy traveling. This world has so many amazing sights in it! My husband and I have our grand travel plans, however they don't involved diapers, so they have to wait a couple more years! We did our old picture purging in January - I found that it really makes me appreciate what I have now.

I love Malaga. We've been there a few times while in Gibraltar, and the best time was to see the Christmas lights. Lovely. You have some great photos. I can never look at old photos without feeling the urge to go somewhere!
