Crawley

I love my girlfriend. I love going to see her, and I love it when she comes to see me. I love that we spent weeks on dates doing very little, and I love that now we are starting to discover shared interests. i love that the more I get to know her the more I like her.

She makes me feel inadequate and special at the same time, but I guess that's normal for people in love.

Anyway, we had a quite weekend at my house. Stayed in Friday night and watched a Brit Flick with a housemate (Rise of the Footsoldier, gory and possibly a bit opaque if you aren’t from South England).

Saturday we went shopping in town. We got hiking and camping supplies (we are going camping shortly), and generally did very little except enjoy being with each other. We spent the evening with a friend in Brighton (PVs, r-bar and Chales Street). This was the same friend who I used to go out on all night drinking sessions in Brighton when we were both single, he’s now also newly coupled up, which was sweet.

Long cuddle in bed for Sunday, then we went out running in Tilgate Forest. It was kind of strange running round the paths which I rode around a lot last year. The forest is different in the winter, and you see more when you go round slower.We saw two roe deer in the forest, which was cool.

So that’s a few shared interests which we explored at the weekend. Shopping, camping (well, not camping yet but soon: we’re both outdoorsy types), dancing and friends, forest and running.

A Tilgate forest picture from last year. I didn’t take my camera with me. Nothing to carry it in. It’s not that much different though, just less bracken.
