Day Visit To Hebden Bridge





How beautiful is this view!


Anyone else refer to canal boats as Rosie and Jim boats or is that just me?


This is part of the high street and what a cute little high street it is too. Full of quaint shops and lovely cafes it's a fabulous place to pick up something out of the ordinary.




Can you believe this is the cinema?? Beats the Odeon or Vue any day!


Blazer: H&M - Dress: H&M - Bag: New Look
Ok, so I know I have worn this blazer a few times but it is just so comfortable. I also love this dress. I have had it for a few years now and it always reappears when the weather gets nicer. 


Shoes: Primark

Isn't this the prettiest train station you have ever seen! I love how they have maintained it and kept it old fashioned and traditional.



So that was my trip to Hebden Bridge! We had a lovely walk around the town and then had a wander down the canal to see the Rosie and Jim boats! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a little getaway to the countryside.

London Baby!!!

Hello!!!!! Yep, I went to London baby!!!!!  And it was bloody brilliant! Despite being up at 3am to get our train at 4.20am we had a good start to the day and got into London at 7.38am. 


So firstly I would like to say that the train signs in London are amazing! I love the Tube signs and took as many as I could. These are a few of them. The Sloane Square sign made me and my friends giggle as it reminded us of Mark Sloan aka McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy. We went to Kings Cross station first to visit Platform 9 and 3/4.


Again we got a bit hyper (as hyper as you can be that early in the morning) seeing the place where Harry Potter was filmed.


Next we visited Portobello Road! They had the market on and we saw lots of lovely little antique stalls.There were also lots of vintage stalls but being in London they were twice the price as usual. The houses were adorable, and many had balconies or rooftops with mini gardens on top. So cute! Many were also pretty colours like blue, pink and yellow. It didnt look like Balamory though...it was very well done.


Now there really isnt much you can say about Buckingham Palace other than WOW! It was beautiful and so majestic. The gates are amazing and the Palace itself is beautiful. If you havent been I strongly recommend it.


Unlike the other pictures I decided not to put text over this collage. This is because I didnt want to ruin the pictures. This was the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. It was brilliant, although, as you can see, it was extremely busy. All I kept thinking was 'they must be nice and warm and snug in those hats' ;)


OMG! Wicked was amazing!!!!! It was fantastic and all the other good adjectives you can think of! Also, isnt that dress so awesome! The singing was out of this world. You HAVE to go and see this if you havent already. You will be blown away. Plus, you wont be able to watch the Wizard of Oz in the same way ever again!


At the end of the day we decided to walk up to Westminster Abbey and take some pretty pictures. Unfortunately my camera had had enough by then and didnt want to work in the dark. London really is pretty in the dark.You could see the London Eye lit up and Big Ben in Parliament Square.

All in all it was a brilliant day and we really enjoyed it.
