greetings from Oslo

Hat- Primark / Coat- Topshop / Scarf - Topshop / Wellies - Hunter

Just a quick hello from the cold, but gorgeous city of Oslo (and I have an I Mac in my room, hehe)

So I am off to explore the city, check out the shops and eat all the local foods.

Have a good weekend!

Travel Series: Edinburgh

So they other week I surprised Si, and took him away to Edinburgh for the weekend to celebrate his 24^th birthday. We spent a cold and blustery few days checking out all the museums, walking around the shops and indulging in plentiful food and drink. It was lovely to get away for the weekend, and to leave all our work troubles behind {not that I really have any} I also got to meet up with some of my family who live in Edinburgh (I am half Scottish you see) and took the first opportunity to use our new video camera {which actually involves a lot of drunk ramblings, and Si eating his birthday cake at 1am in the morning}

It is such a short flight, and a very reasonable price if you get it booked up early {I only paid £100 return for both of us} and it’s actually nice to be able to carry on using British currency, instead of all the hassle to change currencies {yawn}

I am sure I will be visiting again soon, and maybe next time for the world renowned comedy festival...

secret santa

So the lovely Laura over at keepinghealthygettingstylish came up with a lovely little idea to get us all into the spirit of Christmas. A Blogger Secret Santa of course. A simple idea of registering your details {with Laura} and then she gives you a random blogger to buy for, and then a random blogger will buy for you.
I sent off my little package last week {to Leigh} and I received my {slightly larger} package this weekend. I was excited to see what I had received, as I couldn’t even remember what I had written down for my likes and dislikes {I do remember not being very helpful though}
I opened the box in anticipation and was greeted with loads of beautifully wrapped presents {I instantly thought how rubbish my present has been} I discovered my package was from Annette over at cookiecrumbsandcarrotsticks and was delighted to see that she was a new blogger too. After trawling through her blog it revealed she was a big foodie {like me}, which explained some of my lovely gifts.

My gifts included,

*Yankee candles with gorgeous holders {perfect for my living room}
*Local Shortbread {I can’t wait to dunk them in my tea} leading nicely on to my Teapigs...popcorn and Chocolate flake teabags {how exciting}
*Yummy nibbles {spicy Moroccan seed and nut crackers and Mango pieces}
*Gingerbread {yummy, yummy looking gingerbread}
*Shortbread cutter and beautiful Christmas tree decorations all the way from Bruges {I am a lucky lady}

Oh and not forgetting the Christmas cracker {which I am saving for another day}

My new decorations where placed on the tree straight away, and when I get home from work tonight I will finally have time to indulge in some naughtiness in front of the TV {gingerbread men you have been warned}

So I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Annette for brightening my weekend, introducing me to some new things and making my tree look personal and pretty. I hope you received as thoughtful a present and have a wonderful Christmas {and keep up the blog, you make my mouth drool with all your food pictures}

a christmas tree

I couldn’t wait any longer; I mean I couldn’t wait at all. Back at home we used to put the tree up 2 weeks before Christmas, so that’s what I had in my head. But then I remembered, I am in my own place now, so technically I can do what I want. So I made the decision to go out and buy my first REAL tree {which took a lot of persuasion and puppy eyes with Si} and spent all night decorating the tree with my 220 baubles {yes I went slightly mad} Oh and might I add I done this all whilst watching Love Actually {melt} let’s just hope the tree lasts until the big day.

Has anyone else got their tree’s up yet?
