This weekend I went to visit my wonderful boyfriend, Tom, up at his university.
When I go visit Tom I always have a brilliant time.
It doesn’t matter if the weekend is packed full of activities or completely relaxed and spent at home, I never fail to leave happy.
Long-distance is really difficult, I’m not going to lie, but it does have some positives! The best thing about it is that every time you are reunited the time spent together is so precious and feels that extra bit special 🙂
We had a mixture of activity and relaxation, the perfect balance really.
We went for walks along the beautiful river.
We saw the first signs of Spring’s arrival.
We watched films (50/50, The Adjustment Bureau and K-Pax) and munched cookies (and un-pictured toffee popcorn!).
We sat in cafes, drank coffee and shared chocolate fudge cake.
We cooked tasty and healthy food. This is a plate of whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce with onions, peppers, quorn chicken, ham, garlic and spices – delicious.
And most importantly, we spent some magical moments together!
Hope your weeks are turning out well 🙂
What did you do this weekend?
What have you got planned this week, anything special?
p.s. Thank you so much for all of your brilliant advice on my last post! Your suggestions were all fantastic and I will be replying to all of your comments tomorrow 🙂
p.p.s. I hope you all had a lovely Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Pancake day!
Love Live & Learn 
I’m glad you had such a fantastic time! I agree that long-distance is really hard but can be so worth it, and definitely has some positives. Being excited to see each other every single time is great, even if the inbetween bits can be not so great.
Does your boyfriend live in Durham or did I make that up?! The first picture of the river looks familiar. If so, I love Durham! If not, it looks beautiful wherever it is 🙂
You make an adorable couple!
Thank you lovely 🙂 Yes I completely agree with you!
Yes he does, well spotted! Durham is gorgeous, apart from it’s hilly nature (so painful!) it’s one of my favourite cities in England.
Thank you again!
Fabulous pictures! I’m so glad to hear you had such a wonderful weekend with Tom 🙂 That cake looks amazing too haha
Thank you so much Alexandra! It was delicious 🙂
I’m glad you had such a wonderful time with your boyfriend! I can imagine how difficult it is not to be with him all the time and being so far away from him. But I agree that it will make you treasure all the time that you do get to see each other more. 🙂
Thank you Kim 🙂 It is difficult but as you say, we can treasure the moments we have even more!
Awwww you guys are so cute!! I can’t get over how cute the last picture is. I’m glad you had a good weekend 🙂
Oh thank you so much Chloe! 🙂
I agree that it can be difficult, but it’s so wonderful when you do get to spend time together, even though you wish it was more often. You look so happy together!
I’m not surprised that you shared that cake. WOW, it’s huge. And so chocolatey.
I completely agree! Thank you, he makes me very happy 🙂
It was very very chocolatey, but so good!
I’m presuming that Tom is studying at Durham uni? What’s his subject? I did my MA at Durham Uni and miss it so much! Lovely to see pics of my home city 🙂
Yes he is, he’s studying civil engineering and is in his final year! It’s a lovely city isn’t it, it must have been so nice to grow up there 🙂
So sweet! Kudos to you and Tom for managing a long distance relationship–you’re right, it is really difficult. But it sounds like you make the most of your time together, glad you had a great weekend.
Thank you 🙂 It’s difficult but so so worth it!
Yummy food! You both are beautiful – a perfect couple. 🙂 Glad you had a great weekend.
Thank you so much! What a lovely compliment 🙂
Those photos of you are absolutely beautiful! I’m glad you had a good time – that cake looks fantastic 🙂
I’ve been doing the long distance thing for 6 years now and it’s tough! It makes the moments together so much sweeter though.
Thank you Sarah, that’s such a nice compliment! It was delicious 🙂
Oh gosh that’s a long time to be living apart! I hope you get to be a bit closer soon, you must have a very strong relationship!
These photos are all so lovely. What university does your boyfriend attend? The riverwalk in his town is absolutely stunning.
