A few friends and I gathered there to pass the evening and I noticed a vibrant atmosphere surrounding the place. Designed by Sou Fujimoto, the pavilion appears like a cloud floating above the grass; its appearance achieved through a composition of steel grids. Fujimoto, who cites organic structures as an inspiration, demonstrates here the fundamental principles of nature's design, whose geometrical patterns make up all organic things. The structure itself invites people to sit, climb and interact with it as well as one another. Its transparency causes it to become part of the landscape of the park, encouraging exploration and enchantment. It's worth checking out - it'll be around until late October!

serpentine pavilion 2013
On any spare evening this summer, head down through Hyde Park to Kensington Gardens, where you will discover this year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion. It's always exciting to see what the new pavilion is like, and this year is no exception!

holds us all together
sometimes something happens
which reminds you
that we've been put here
to make each other's lives better
and that those you are with
you have been put with for a reason
so let go of your pride
your jealousy
your anger
and be grateful
that there is something stronger
that holds us all together

How do forests make you feel?

and the sun shone on those who turned to face it
It's like we're being spoilt with all this sunshine! A group of us headed down to Brighton for a day to celebrate a friend's birthday. There is so much to love about Brighton; there's always something happening there - it's a quirky, friendly and romantic city bustling with life...

"and some day this morning would just be a memory"
This is one of my favourite quotes from The Alchemist. It is a fable which takes you on the journey of life, in reaching your ultimate goal.
I find it inspiring because it encourages the idea that what is valuable isn't achieving your goal, but all that it took you to achieve it. It also teaches that in realising ourselves, we can find what we're truly looking for.
I think this line explores a key paradox of life; it is timeless in the way that this moment will always exist, and is crucial to what is to follow, yet like most moments in our lives, will swiftly be forgotten as if it had never existed in the first place. It suggests to me that whatever happiness or hardship you're going through, one day it will just be a memory, nothing more. It gives you the perspective that you don't yet have, to keep going, because there is more to your story that awaits you.
