Hey Guys!!
How are we all??
Good??
YAY!!
You have no idea how much I'm
enjoying my day at home!!
The long lie in, the sitting in front
of the TV, spending time with Lilly...I love it all!!
The problem with being at home after
a long time is that I now have too many recordings to watch.
INDECISION!!!
But at least I can watch mindless
entertainment all day and all week.
Yes HERMIT TIME!!
I have missed that for the past -
however many days it was...
It was fun going away but I'm glad
I'm home!!
Plus I'm back to blogging!!
I know you all missed me...maybe??
I know I certainly missed this!!
I promise I'll be better from now on.
Well I can try...
I'm babbling!!
I always babble...
Literally all the time!!
Anyway...
This was me last week when I went
away to Leeds for a few days to see my friend
Jaime.
I decided I wanted to get away for a
few days, so I asked Jaime if I could run away to Leeds.
Thankfully she said yes so I booked my ticket and I was set. I didn't pack till
literally the night before, as I honestly didn't know what I wanted to take (as
usual). But by 2am (I think) I managed to come up with three looks. So I was up
early on Thursday morning getting myself ready and yet I was still late. I
literally had to run out of my house and straight to the train station; but
thankfully I was still on time for my train. Before I knew it I was at London Victoria
stocking up on food for the journey (yay doughnuts). I think I was waiting for
about 40 minutes for my coach, which is quite good as I had time to relax
before my 4 and a half hour journey. Yes. To get from London
to Leeds it takes 4 and a half hours!! It's a
good job I like National Express otherwise I wouldn't have been happy. I did
take my book to read and I had a notebook to doodle in; but I literally spent 4
and half hours staring out the window/falling asleep. I have seen more of the
M1 then I ever planned on to (not that I did originally plan on it); but at
least it was straight up there via Wakefield.
I will say one thing - you can tell when you're up north, because of how industrial
everything looks with it's history still alive. I finally made it to Leeds and had to wait about 10 minutes for Jaime (I was
early and she was late). I was so scared standing there not knowing anyone,
that I was hoping Santa might walk past just to see a familiar face. When Jaime
arrived we did the long walk back to her halls, which was almost like a guided
tour as we walked straight through town. I love Leeds
town hall as it's so pretty and reeks of history, I even took pictures of it on
Friday. It was so weird being at Jaime's halls, as I was still in shock that
she was at uni. Of course I know she's at university; but to actually see where
she lives was a complete shock to me (good shock). Jaime has a nice en-suite
room and it's a good size compared to some other halls I've seen. We relaxed
for a bit before deciding to head to the Harvester. The walk there was
soooooooo cold and I think slightly rainy, plus it didn't help that poor Jaime
had a persistent cough and my nose kept running. It was about 20 minutes walk
before we got to our destination. The Harvester in Leeds
is such an odd set up. You see to me the Harvester is all about farming and the
memorabilia on the wall; but in this one it was all modern and open planned and
just weird. The food wasn't as good as home but we ate it anyway, plus our
drinks were free as the waiter didn't check the bill (yayay). We headed back to
Jaime's, (in again the cold and rain) and decided to end the night by watching
Legally Blonde. Friday came around and let's just say we weren't in the mood to
get up. We eventually got ready and walked in to town through the rain and
cold. Leeds city centre is HUGE!! I think there
are three shopping centres along with one being built, plus there are countless
shops lining the streets. I must admit I didn't see all that Leeds
has to offer; but I did pop in to Primark and pick up a cardigan (in Saturday's
outfit) and top that says 'FREAK'. We also popped in to Urban Outfitters, as I
always make a habit of going in to if there is one. We had lunch in a very
modern, high class, expensive restaurant - yep McDonalds!! We were both feeling
under the weather with my cold and Jaime's cough, that we decided to grab some
snacks and head back to the halls. We spent the rest of the evening watching
Lee Evans Roadrunner, Ted and Accepted. There was even a sneaky bowl of late
night chips involved. Soon enough Saturday came around and it was time to go home.
We headed down to the bus station with a friend of Jaime's and popped in to
Greggs. There are literally 9 Greggs in Leeds!!
9!! So I felt I had to go to one before I left, because I felt my time in Leeds wouldn't be complete without it. I was a bit annoyed
that they didn't have an apple danish, but I ended up getting quite a nice
banana muffin from the Pumpkin Cafe. I said goodbye to Jaime and her friend and
waited in the National Express bit for what feels like forever. It didn't help
that I couldn't read the screen with all the times on; but thankfully one of
the blokes who worked there did an announcement about my coach and I went and
asked. Soon enough I was on the coach doing the exact same thing I did going;
but the other way all the way to London
Victoria. Thankfully my Dad met
me and protected me from the loud football crowds. I eventually got home and it
was the nicest feeling in the world!! I enjoyed my time away and it was great
to see Jaime; but I did miss home and I was glad to be back.
To the outfit...
Now I don't have a picture of
Thursday's outfit, because long story short we were both tired and it was dark
(not to mention we were full of cold and cough). Just picture an exact replica
of Friday's outfit but with a camouflage t-shirt and green lumberjack shirt. I
basically planned on wearing the same outfit just with 3 different tops. I had
to fit a pillow and a sleeping bag in my suitcase, so there was no room for
taking three completely different outfits. In my Friday outfit I'm wearing a
new top that I picked up in Primark. With Disneyland Paris happening in
October, Charlie and I wanted to start stocking up on Disney clothes now. I saw
Mickey Mouse dollar sign tank top a while ago in Primark and knew I had to pick
it up. I think it was only £6 and I thought it was a bargain. There are so many
ways I can style this piece, in this outfit I chucked a lumberjack shirt over
the top (unfortunately you can't see that under my layers). You will definitely
be seeing this top again!! I slightly changed my Saturday outfit, as instead of
a lumberjack shirt I threw on my new Primark cardigan. I spoke about this
cardigan in my last post; but I will just mention again how much I love this
cardigan. Literally every outfit that comes to mind involves this cardigan, so
I apologise now if you get sick of seeing it - I know I won't!!
Well this is an extremely long post!!
There might be another OOTD tomorrow
if not then Thursday; but other then that I think there'll be a few other
posts. I'm going to be updating more as I feel I want to keep up appearances.
Well I guess I should finally finish
this, as in total it's taken me five hours to do (I took a break and I get
distracted).
Can I relax now??
Thank you!!
