Hazelbabes

Ok, this is another of melancholic posts, mid-desperately trying to capture the fading memory of one day, a year ago.

Let me start again than...

A year ago, us 141 international study abroad students were gathered and devided into different bus coaches that were taking us all around Stirling and surroundings.

Me and Rachel were in the same bus and we started chatting instantly. But Courtney was in a different bus. Our first stop was the Stirling Castle and there we finally met Courtney, but she was chatting to another girl 
...a girl that I did not much like, although I never spoke to her 
- 
Hazel Proust.

She smiled at me and started talking to me. 
Well, from the first moment we started talking I feel like I wanted to know that girl better. I wanted to know more. 
That day we never really stopped talking. 
Not even in the Dunblane cathedral, where people are not supposed to talk, or talk very silently.

Hazel and I clicked. 
Since the day a year ago, we started seeing each other almost every day.

WE:

- found a first man in a kilt.

- had lunches together (usually veggie soups in the Stir cafe).

- found the only golden post box in the UK.

- went on flat-warming parties together.

- went to various galleries together.

- went over to each other´s houses and cooked for each other countless times.

- shared veg bags.

- shared gossip and occasionally talked behind people´s back together.

- went up half-way Dumyat together.

-we have been to several vintage shops and loooved just going through the clothes. I can almost hear you saying Hazel "yeah, I love, go for it! :D"

- went on picnicks.

- went on a spring break to Oban and sank our feet in mud while walking through the fields.

Hazel taught me to eat the best delicatessen ever – carrot and hummus and celery and peanut butter.
And let me play with her hair :)
