York Day Trip

THE SHAMBLES

This tiny little street called The Shambles is what inspired J.K Rowlings Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. Trip to Olivanders anyone?

Doesn't my boyfriend Tobias look dashingly handsome in a tweed!

Valar Morghulis. This quirky little shop was my favourite in all of York. Not only did it have the best window display, but it stocked amazing merchandise from TV programmes like Game of Thrones and Doctor Who, to Disneys greats like Alice in Wonderland. I also spotted a Sailor Moon mug too!

Here is a picture of me and the bf again. He isn't impressed with me because I made him have his photo taken with me.
Overall York was an amazing city to visit. Again there is something there for everyone and loads of quirky shops to buy gifts and trinkets from. The best thing about York is the fact that a lot of the items are handmade. This includes everything from the gifts and souvenirs to the yummy fudge from the sweet shop!
Definitely worth a trip!

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.

St Annes on Sea

This is one of my favourite places in St Annes.You can walk behind the waterfall and it is amazing.

How cute are these little beach huts! For £70 you can rent one for the day.

Skirt: New Look - Tshirt: Primark - Blazer: H&M - Bag: New Look

 As you can see it was rather windy!

I kinda felt like Pocahontas here, so my sister decided to document the feeling.

So it was far too windy therefore the hair went up. This was taken at the entrance to walk behind the waterfall. As a small seaside town it really does have a lot to offer. With walks along the sandy beach and the fish and chips available on the pier, there is something for everyone.

Chester Zoo

Chester Zoo! 

So I know it's been forever since I last blogged, but I thought I would come back with some very cute pictures of animals from Chester Zoo! After spending 3 years at Chester University I only visited the zoo once. So one weekend when my sister was visiting, we decided to have a spontaneous trip to visit the little cuties. These are some of my favourite of many many pictures. I also bought a new camera a few months ago, (after I dropped my old one in the sand) so hopefully the pictures from now on will be of better quality. 

I love this picture.  However the monkeys hate it when being looked at as they can sense that it is not their true habitat, and they know that people are staring at them. There were even cracks in the glass where some of them had tried to escape. It was hard to watch them so we didn't spend much time here.

I just love how majestic he looks. Posing for the public in all his beauty. With the recent news of the American dentist killing Cecil the lion it is so hard to understand why anyone would want to harm these magnificent creatures.

This little guy just made me laugh.

Two of these guys were swimming around smiling...so cute!

Some of you may have watched Our Zoo when it was on TV. It was the story of how George Mottershead opened a zoo for the public to visit so that they could see and learn about animals not native to this country. He wanted it to be available to everyone and was met with great scrutiny by the locals at first. This (above) was the original house where the Mottershead's lived and began building their zoo. Below are pictures of his family.

These two rhinos were adorable, they followed each other all over the enclosure and looked as though they were gossiping about all the people coming to see them.

Typical meerkats sleeping and loving one another.

Another one of my favourites is this lovely girl. She was amazing. Such beautiful creatures.

So these were my favourite Chester Zoo pictures. Hopefully I will be blogging a lot more regularly now, especially seeing as I have a few days out planned this week, and a new lovely camera to many wonderful pictures on.
