I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD...

Hi, I know I have been very absent of late but hopefully as summer is coming up I will be able to blog a lot more after my exams.  Anyway, hello to you reader and friend, yes you slumped over your laptop in the dark reading endless blog posts and stumbling across this one.  Recently, I got to meet some of my favourite celebs in London so I thought that I would share this experience with you.

Kate and Wills looked very regal

Personally I think Johnny Depp is not only one of my fave actors but he was the best waxwork that there was there.

We went to Harrods quickly (I say quickly- we spent about 2 hours looking at handbags) after Madame Tussauds but I did not take any pictures of that as I did not feel it was necessary because I think it is something to be marvelled at in your own time and I don't think I could have captured the same beauty in a photo.

  I did however take pictures of the London Eye which is where we ventured to at about 7pm.  This was the second time I have been on there, and I can honestly say that I never get tired of it because it is so breathtaking.  Before, I went in the daytime now I have to say that I much preferred it this time round because last time it was raining and grey skies were forming so you couldn't really see much which was disappointing.  However this time, because it was in the late afternoon/evening, all the lights in London were turned on which looked amazing and super pretty and I do honestly think this is the best time to go as you can still see the buildings and your photos do not turn out to just be a mixture of grainy black with blurry lights (we've all been there).

  I had a really great time with my family and it was lovely to spend the day in London as we do not go there very often, so it is always a treat!

A WINTER WALK

On a cold boxing day we decided, mid-morning to venture into the woods for a walk before lunch.  Along the way I took a few pictures because  thought the woods looked so pretty with the sunlight coming through the trees.  I remember when I was younger, we used to go for quite a few walks in the woods and so now I pretty much know my way around them.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

 I went to do work experience at The Daily Telegraph during half term to see what the working world is like and to get an idea of what the different areas are of a newspaper.  I was put to use in three sections: two days in TV, one in Commercial and two in Puzzles.  I have to say, it was very daunting at first going up the escalators through the marble walls to the clean, almost medical lobby.  I felt very grown up swanning into work with a coffee from the little bar at the front of the lobby.   
  When in the TV section, I had to research websites with video content that did not use Youtube.  Despite being a lot of work, I found it thoroughly enjoyable because I was also allowed to go into the editing room and the television studio where they were filming short clips.  It was all very exciting! 
  In Commercial, I had to research competitor newspapers and try to find what advertisers they were linked to and in Puzzles I was doing this thing called "Fact Checking" in which I had to look up all the crossword question answers to ensure that they were correct and I am happy to say that it got published!

Salted Caramel Cake - Peggy Porschen

 This was a beautiful and so yummy! As soon as I laid eyes on it I knew it was the one, with its cake, biscuit and brownie layers, cemented together with salted caramel icing.  Highly recommend for lovers of Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha/ Hot Chocolate or anyone with a sweet tooth because it is basically the cake version so I had to get it obviously!  

The Cappuccino was satisfactory, I did not dislike it, nor enjoy it, however it was slightly a let down compared to the array of beautiful cakes they had on display. 

The Overall design of the shop was cute and pretty - more for girly girls.  Now I would not class myself as one, necessarily, however I still thought it was a delightful boutique containing pretty decorations.
  

It was located in Belgravia, which is very "posh" and classy and made me feel rich and luxurious.  

Another day, I ventured to a little French place which I cannot remember the name of, however, it was pleasant enough.

RICHMOND RIVER

  A couple of weeks ago, I went to Richmond River.  Despite being ill, I happily took some photos and enjoyed walking along the river.  

I had a lovely walk along the river! It was such a relaxing day out and I enjoyed taking pictures which I hope you enjoyed! If you have not visited it, do, because it is a good day out as it is very peaceful and a nice place to think about the world. :)


(If you are an autumn lover I suggest you try Camomile and Spiced Apple tea by Twinings its so delicious!)  

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
