I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling twenty two!

Hello lovelies!

Last month I celebrated my 22nd Birthday and had a really wonderful time. In amongst the exam period it was so nice to have a break.

The weekend before I was taken to the City of Cambridge as a surprise treat. I had never been before and the city is simply beautiful. Amazing architecture and atmosphere – it really reminded me of French towns with lots of creperies and ice cream parlours!

I was also amazed at how many bicycles were around…everybody cycles, and there were hundreds of bikes lined up along railings throughout the city centre. We stayed in the Marriott hotel just outside of the city, had dinner within their restaurant and then spent the evening in the queen sized bed watching films. It really was beautiful, even the journey there had views of fields of beautiful flowers covering the countryside. I couldn’t have asked for more and the British weather was perfect!

The weekend afterwards was Easter Weekend, as my birthday fell on Good Friday this year. Lots of chocolate eggs and bunny crumpets were consumed! My three favourite girls and I  booked into Afternoon Tea at a very posh hotel. It was a very beautiful day with an amazing view across the harbour whilst sipping champagne and munching on cake!

Following Afternoon Tea we headed to town that evening for a night of dancing. I really had such a fabulous birthday and am so lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people!

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed the day! Love to you all.

Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea

Last week I had a wonderful afternoon in a very beautiful hotel. As one of the few remaining events I get to enjoy as a student before I graduate in a couple of months, I was invited to “Bake Society’s” end of year celebration. Do not get any ideas…I cannot for the life of me bake, and my cooking experiences are pretty much summed up by the wonderful Carrie Bradshaw;

“…he says the kitchen needs work. Of course, I don't know about that because I keep sweaters in my stove.”

However my lovely housemates bake very well, so I benefit from a number of cakes appearing on the kitchen sides after a long day of studying and was also invited along.

The afternoon was beautiful, with lovely little goodie bags and lots of wonderland decorations. A glass of Prosecco, Pimms  a chandelier and lots of cake and I was one very refreshed and happy girl.

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Bill’s

Today I went to the loveliest restaurant. It is a small unique chain in the UK called “Bills” with the majority of the restaurants located in larger cities. The decoration was beautiful and nothing like I have ever seen in an eatery before, so I had to share the photos with you. You are also able to purchase the ingredients from the dishes on site, as well as their cookbook that tells you how to create your own version of the meals.

I had the “fish finger sandwich”…A staple in a student diet, but obviously this was the most upper-class version I had tasted! With home-made fish fingers and a beautiful tomato chutney spread across.

For dessert I had the chocolate brownie, however one of the girls had donuts dipped in chocolate which was presented beautifully! They also had the option of fairy cakes homemade in the morning!

We had a really lovely meal to celebrate the end of our exams! Next year I plan on heading back to find out what the award-winning breakfast is like!
