Week Recap

This week I had a week off work and I made the most of it! Here's what I got up to-

Wednesday- Me and a Friend went on a rainy road trip to the seaside. We stopped at Ingoldmells first.

Then Skegness which was still rainy but we had fish and chips and took our broken 2p machine record up to 4!

On the way home we checked out Lincoln cathedral and the lovely hilly backstreets.

On Thursday me and my uni friends took a trip up to Birmingham to visit another friend and had a night out in Popworld. I wore my new dress from Apricot at Outfit.



Saturday- I had a much needed hair cut, I got it chopped short and layered.

I also picked up my FREE coffee and cake from John Lewis with my club card. yum yum.



'Enjoy the Little Things'

I know, it's been a long time! The last year,my first year of teaching, has really not gone to plan but things are on the up and more than ever it is important to 'Enjoy the little things'.

 

 

 

The first thing I've found is it's important to have reminders that it will all work out and that life is good, like this beautiful cushion. The second is to make time with friends and loved ones, whether its a Sunday chocolate twist, a drink at the pub with my Dad (mine's a Southern Comfort, lime and lemonade) or a full on afternoon tea- yum!

 



 







 







 

I also treated myself to a much-needed couple of days away at Easter to Barcelona which was amazing, the perfect mix of sunshine, sand, sangria and sights.

 



 

 

 

 

Home for Easter

So I headed home for Easter on Wednesday after a lazy start to the week at uni and some assignment writing.

I've been working at the pub all weekend and I was lucky enough to have three late shifts (1am on Friday and Saturday and a little earlier last night), but I really enjoyed seeing everyone again actually and it was fun.

I managed to fit in some tea and cake with Mum and Dad and a trip to a Vintage fair too, which was fun.

This week consists of catching up with old and new friends in between assignment writing, If only the sun would stay with us!

Silent Sunday- simple pleasures

Afternoon Tea for Three

Yesterday I invited Ivy and Emmaonwheels round for afternoon tea. I made strawberry scones and sandwiches, Emma made chocolate orange cookies and Ivy made Raspberry Pie Cupcakes. Afternoon Tea turned out being a day of eating, movie watching and playing on the Wii- Lovely!
