Things I'm Loving!

Last week I was loving my trip to Glasgow for a long weekend.

This week I'm loving...

My birthday!

I'm managing to drag it out for the whole month which is awesome. It's nice to enjoy celebrating it this year! When I was in Glasgow I bought myself an Instakilt as a birthday treat! My lovely parents bought me a gorgeous floral cardi and a hilarious Morphsuit! Thanks team!

Thanks for all the love and special gifts I've received over the last week! It makes me feel really special!

Old signs

Whilst wandering around The Thames, I spotted some pretty choice signs on a building in Tooley St. This was my fav!

Brick Lane

It never fails to please with their awesome secret collections of art work! Here are some favourites I've spotted over the last few months.

My Mumma

I posted this pic on Facebook on Sunday for Mothers Day. My Mum is such a choice, hilarious, loving, smart, comforting, kind, wonderful lady, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! Only two and a half months until I can see your real-life face again!! CANNOT WAIT!!

Spring

Spring is in full force over here in London. And by full force I mean that there might be billions of blossoms on trees but the weather is still playing havoc! Sun, rain, clouds, more sun, more rain, sun, wind, more wind, sun... you get the gist! 

The giveaway that hasn't happened yet!

I had this big plan to do a giveaway for my 200th post. I'm not giving any clues about what it'll be, but life is crazy hectic at the moment, and any spare minute I have I'm trying to nurture myself and give myself time to chill. It will happen. Just maybe not at the 200th post part! But yay! 200 posts! Who would've thought?!?!

So instead, you can have a picture of my deep fried Mars bar I had in Glasgow. Mmm mmmmmm!

An Unforgettable Trip - Glasgow

A couple of months ago, my cousin went to New Zealand for a short visit and returned with a little pottle of our Grandad's ashes for us to take up to Glasgow and 'take him home'. 

This special trip happened last weekend, where my two cousin's Martin and Dugald, Martin's girlfriend Laura and I, trekked it up to Glasgow in the car to embark on a pretty choice long weekend. 

Delicious haggis was consumed, Buckfast was drunk, long lost relatives were visited, and a bunch of fun was had by all. 

We went to a Rangers football game which was not only a treat but an awesome experience; especially the streamers getting thrown onto the field and watching the poor sideline guys hurry to pick them all up before the game started!!

My insane choice cousin Martin went for a wee dip in Loch Lomond, bearing in mind that it wasn't even 10 degrees!

We saw some sheep;

Visited the campsite where my Dad, his three older brothers and my Gran and Grandad used to go each summer;

Ate deep fried Mars bars - which were actually pretty choice!

Saw two of my Grandad Barr's sisters, one who is a spitting image of my Grandad and the other reminded me so much of my Uncle!

And then we endured a horrifically long and hungover car ride home!
