    #INNTRAVELCAPTUREYORK WITH KEITH MOSS | QUEENBEADY

    York Minster

    I’m munching away on a tuna & cucumber sandwich, with a bag of salt & vinegar squares to be precise and an email lands in my inbox inviting me to a photography event with Inntravel, where legendary street photographer Keith Moss would be our mentor for the day. Now, anyone who knows me, I don’t put down food for anything (hey, I love food, what can I say?) but this email made me put my sandwich down. No lie. You see, I’ve owned a DSLR camera since October last year and it’s only fluke that I get a decent photo from time to time. I couldn’t wait to understand my camera bit better and how to get the best shot.

    I was called “very strong-willed” the other day. It’s very far away from the view I have of myself to be honest. I just see myself as a panicky, over-thinking, late-twenty year old mess. But then, I got thinking about it. Maybe I actually am quite “strong” – because some of the things I have to put up with, which for the purposes of this blog I will not actually go in to detail, a lot of people probably would have said a big “F U” to, many, many, maaaaaany moons ago. The same person who said I was “strong-willed” I actually stood up for the other day in a slightly heated discussion. One where it felt like they were getting the blame for something that in all it’s entirety was not their fault. So yes, I sat back and thought deeply (yeah ‘cos I am deep & shit!) and came to conclusion that actually yes, maybe I am.

    Oh Oslo, you are a town that is so fresh from anything we have seen before. So clean, safe and ever so cool. It’s safe to say that I fell completely head over heels in love with the Norwegian City of Oslo. It’s two weeks since we were there and I’m still walking around in that “holiday bliss” phase (which I’m sure will disappear soon!) After booking some very reasonable flights from Manchester and a rather chic hotel for Mr C’s Christmas present, I have been counting down the days since the 25th December for this trip. I’m hoping I can share with you some of the fun we had (go watch the vlog too!), along with places to see and things to do during our weekend in Oslo, and maybe you might just want to give this little corner of the world a visit!

    So I wrote a post about where Summer had got to? Then within an hour of the post going live we were subject to temperatures way past 20 degrees Celsius. I now know that all I need to do to win the lottery is write a blog post about “WHERE ALL MA MONEY AT?” (I joke, of course!) so I was a little bit worried to write a post only days later entitled “The sun has got his hat on” that he might go back on his jollies and take his sunshine elsewhere and leave us Brits with the rain, again. I guess I’m going to have to take a risk and we will just have to wait and see, won’t we?

    “Can you please take some photos of me before we go out for dinner?” I ask.

    “Yes. But we can’t be long.” My husband replies.

    The camera gets pulled out for all of 45 seconds. Snaps five photos. “Thank God at least two thirds of those photos look decent.” I retort.

    The camera then suitably get’s stuffed away. Me, wishing that we had just fit a couple more in for the sake of another minute.

    Excuse the long and drawn out blog title, but I think for some of us Bloggers we aren’t bestowed with an on-hand photographer Boyfriend for all our every day blogging needs and requirements, are we? So I’m trying to make it a little easier for us poor souls who have to deal with this. Welcome to the basic blogging bitches #BloggingProbs101.
