Memories

I came across this little idea when I was flicking through Tumblr this evening and it made me wander; if I had done this for this year, what would be inside it?
 The good times that fade in your memory and blend into and overall sense of happiness. They'd all be trapped inside this capsule, ready for someone to uncover all of these forgotten memories.

Exeter

    Just to forewarn you, this is a pretty picture heavy post but it's definitely worth it! 
    Over the half term I went to visit my brother in Exeter for three days since I haven't seen him since he left home in September. It was so good to see him again and honestly felt as if we had never left, despite the drastic change of weather. 

   Near to the University stands this memorial and the traffic cone on its head was how we knew where we were going. Tom told us some stories about a person who had tried to climb up onto the horses back after a night out and broken both of their legs! The result could be argued worth it.
   I really like the city of Exeter and I now know quite a lot about its history due to my brothers knowledge on it. One really cool thing is that the hall that he currently lives it was the original inspiration for Griffindor house! 

   
The central square near the cathedral where we got quite friendly with some very bold pigeons who Tom ended up trying to get as many on his lap as possible. I commend him at managing 5.








    We went up into Dartmoor and we came across a spectacular waterfall so different to all that I had seen before purely for how thin it was. The view at the top of it was beautiful and so untouched although the waterfall itself had an interesting history of being managed.
