A Thousand Words #9

It's nice looking back at all of these photos, September was such a fun month! I attended some press events at the beginning of the month and we also went over to London to see KATE BUSH! It was my first proper trip to London as I didn't get to actually see that much on my flying visit for the photo shoot last December.  I loved it so much and can't wait to go back again and explore more of London.

The BEST burger I have ever had in Five Guys; Krispy Kreme; Tacos in Shoreditch; Lobster Roll in Clodagh's Kitchen; Lola's cupcakes in Spitalfields Market

It was a surreal experience to finally see Kate Bush live after hearing her songs for most of my life. I feel so privileged to be one of the few people who got to see her. Hearing the first bars of Hounds of Love brought me to tears, the emotions that came over me hearing a song I have heard countless times throughout my life being sung live was overwhelming, I will never forget what a magical night it was
