I am always so
confused when Monday arrives. I swear only a few hours ago we were excited for
the arrival of Friday, yet here we are trudging to the train to start a whole
week of work. Especially when I am so desperate for time off and a break, alas
only 8 more weeks and I will get my week off darn it!
Anyway this weekend was exceptionally pleasant. Saturday I woke
up had breakfast did a bit of washing and hula hooping (yeah I’m getting pretty
good at that now!) and while eating lunch looking out the window at the
beautiful sunny day I decided it was a waste to spend in doors. I was glad I
decided this as it was GLORIOUS outside, I wasn’t aware it was as hot as it
was. I picked out my new Sugarhill Boutique dress from a few weekends ago and
my new denim jacket and headed to Guilford on the train.
I’ve only been there to go to the cathedral, so I was excited
to see what the town was like and I wasn’t at all disappointed. The train was only £12 for us both with my
saver card and less than half an hour, once we got there it was a simple walk
to the shops, over a beautiful bridge overlooking the canal, the shops were up
a large hill and the streets were cobbled. Although a Saturday afternoon, it
was peaceful and enjoyable. Most of the shopping was outside so we enjoyed the
sunshine, although my jacket spent all afternoon wrapped round my waist as it
was far too hot to wear.
Guildford is a stunning town, it really is! I thoroughly enjoyed
it, the atmosphere is lovely and everything is more peaceful and old worldly!
Traveling through the countryside on the train to get there and the little
cobbled streets and traditional buildings. I was dying to have a good look
around the canal and I thought I saw a garden at the end of the street which I wanted
to explore.
We did lots of shopping, alas I fell in love with a Cath
Kidston skirt and a lovely ring in a small shop but neither had my size. There
were more unusual shops compared to any old shopping centre, including Cath
Kidston and I just really enjoyed my time there. I wish I had taken some
photos.
Matt however started to overheat a little bit and we stopped
off at Creams for an Ice Cream. I had 2 scoops - Snickers and Ferrero Rocher.
It was far too big but I loved it! Matt was still not feeling 100% so we didn’t
look around the canal and gardens instead we headed home. I will defiantly be
back though to explore more that is for sure and next time I will make sure to
take my camera!
That evening we just went to the cinema and relaxed at home!
Sunday I had to catch up on house stuff and also start some
freelance work I had been meaning to do for way too long! I also had to pop to
town to run a few errands the main one was to buy bread. I did buy bread and
some other important things, but I also accidentally came back with these beauties’!
New Look £10
I saw them in New Look reduced to £10 and I’ve been trying
to find some new shoes that are more supportive and better for walking in than
my Primark ballet pumps. I kind of pulled a face but thought well let me see
and I tried them on. I was shocked when I thought how lovely they looked on and
I started to walk home and had to turn around and go back to pick them up they
were too much of a bargain to miss!
I thought they would be great in the summer if the weather
is a little off, and a good way to start to introduce myself into wearing my Dr
Martins in the autumn!
So that is one thing that is cheering me up on this Monday,
my shiny new shoes!
I hope your Monday is well, and I hope the next weekend
comes around even quicker than the last!
