cupcakes and cocktails

For my lovely housemate/ great friend's 25th birthday, we went to the Milestone in Sheffield for a cocktail and cupcake masterclass. Turns out that playing around with glitter icing (cupcakes) and cucumber slices (cocktails) is a great, great combination. There were plenty of giggles all round to celebrate the lovely Birthday Girl. Highly recommended: http://fancie.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/cupcakes-cocktails.html

my life according to instagram

The last few months have been full of joyful events.

Tea dates galore, letters from France, hat-tricks, inevitable amounts of final year work, theatre trips, log fires, time spent at home and time spent in France have made me very happy.

bonfire night

I really need to learn how to use my camera in the dark. 

Bonfire night is magical. 

rochefort

When I was in La Rochelle, we took the train to Rochefort for the day. It was stormy, so we huddled in a cafe for a few hours before venturing out to explore. I adore France; the buildings, the people, the food and the three hours spent chatting over one cup of coffee. Rain in Rochefort has done nothing to lesson that love.
