30 Day Snap #27 | Sterling Castle & Pastry Delights!

I visited Sterling Castle last Friday with the family. I thought the outside was beautiful with its scenery compared to the inside. I didn't really like the fake decor so much. But I did love the view of the mountains and the silvery-grey sky from the Castle.

The sound of bagpipes all around.

I will post up a blog on my time spent in Scotland sometime this weekend.

At the end of our visit, we went to Greggs bakery. I bought my brother and myself some pastry delights with a latté to go.

There was one house I loved seeing while walking back to the car. It had such an eye catching affect to the public. With its colourful flowers drawing the tourists in.

Have any of you visited Sterling before? Curious to know whether it is indeed where sterling silver had come from.

30 Day Snap #11 | Buying gifts & Having lunch in the sun!

Yesterday, with being blessed to having such great sunlight, my friends and I decided to eat out in sun. I only got a latte and a yogurt with granola. The organic chocolates were devoured when I got home hours later.

We chose a card for 'Picky Pete', our Slovakian, head tutor. He's also been our therapist and friend along this road trip in Barnet. So we feel he deserves to get just a little something. The card will be edited with humourous comments and the other little thing just gives a few pages of the meaning of his name. That too will be edited. (So, Peachy, I know you're reading this, tomorrow morning, I need ya to sign the card.) I'll buy the wine in Waitrose in the morning as well, along with an apple ;)

He's on a diet guys, with a personal trainer, so he'll be delighted to see the apple!

Tomorrow is our class group meal together at lunch. We're heading to Prezzos for an Italian. I know what I'm getting already! Plus for dessert... tirrimasu... Mmmm.

How's everyone enjoying this fine weather?

I feel so free when I see no clouds in the sky.

Love you all lots & lots like jelly tots,

30 Day Snap #10 | New Books & bye bye Father's Day card!

Ahh, great! I got chocolate on my laptop... crisis averted.

Hey everyone,

Yesterday, feeling ill I made an appointment with the Doctor. I may have glandular fever. Good thing it's not contagious from the internet.

Anyway I'm on penicillin now, so all should be swell (Haaa, swollen glands, oh you're HILARIOUS KAYLA!)

But with having headaches on and off, my highlight of the day was meeting Pauline in 'Waterstones'. She her lovely self, works there and has probably read every single book there is. She spoke to me how she gets irritated by her husband if he finishes a book before her. That's right people, I'll have her life story in two more meetings.

How we got talking to her was when I was dancing with happiness over seeing 'City of Heavenly Fire', Cassandra Clare's last installment to The Mortal Instrument series. She must have wondered what I was getting all excited about.

It came out last week, and was out of stocks within a few days. So I was lucky to get this copy :) I'm currently reading it and am taking breaths between pages, not sure whether I'm ready to end this series. I was unhappy with the ending of 'The Infernal Devices' series. If Cassandra Clare kills off Jace, that's it! I'm gonna hunt her down and do a  Kathy Bates, 'Misery' on her!

The second book I bought was Half Bad by Sally Green. The bookkeeper said it was amazing, so I'm hoping it does turn out well, otherwise it was waste of money!

I had my usual treat to a free Waitrose latte and got the chance in sending my Father's Day card (mum has a little letter inside also). I gave Dad only ten euro, for a packet of smokes. He's not exactly difficult to please.

That's all folks,
