That Girl with that Blog

Greetings Earthlings, I’m currently sat in the back of my Mum’s car with my Mum and Nana in the front on the way back from the Knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate. I’ve just polished off a ham and cheese toastie from Costa and now here I am, feeling all professional and writing on the go. As you’ve probably guessed by the little intro and the title, today’s post is about our trip to Harrogate. So, let’s grab a cuppa and crack on… I very much come from a family of creative’s, I have a quilted blanket from my Nana when I was little, and a patchwork knitted blanket from my Mum and have had countless cardigans made for me over the years. Hence, in my younger years I asked to be taught how to knit several times by my Mum and Nana separately and they taught me, time and time again and I never seemed to pick it up. What a disappointment, eh? But when I started university I joined the Knit Like Your Nana society, and have since made a bunny and trust me when I say it is a big blo...

Hello Earthlings, I want to start by saying thank you to each and every one of you that shared my post, read my post and hopefully took something from my post last week. If you haven't read it, then I hope you will as it really encourages you to help people this winter... here is the link . Now onto this week!

Hey there Earthling cheesecakes, I sit here and I'm conscious that I have a mountain of uni stuff to read on this reading week and I'm also conscious that I didn't post on my blog last week and although I don't mind missing a week because I'm busy and didn't want to rush a post, I also hate missing a week because I feel like I'm letting myself down. So here I am before I get lost in a book that weights at least 4 stone, posting this weeks update and it's an important one.  Right now it's the 9th of November and I'm sat here in my room looking out the window to a grey and murky day. It's definitely time for the big coat to come out, and I now have to sit and wait a bit for my windscreen to clear. The festive menus have arrived in Starbucks and I can highly recommend the Fudge Hot Chocolate. The Christmas adverts are starting to come on TV and everywhere is starting to get a bit more magical as the build up to festivities begin.  Unfortuna...
