<i>Afternoon all! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The idea is to make these posts shorter and more frequent now, rather than the length of a dissertation and with an average of 1.7 years between them.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Anyway, at the moment and because of our new situation I'm rearranging / decorating my room and I've noticed a change. The last time I had the chance to take total control over decorating a room was when I moved into a big city terrace with ceilings so high I could've leapt into passing planes (this may be an exaggeration) and a floorspace to die for (this may also be an exaggeration), anyway my point is that it was so big a bedroom that I was able to channel my deepest adoration for Moroccan design and adorn it in deep reds and purples, have (faux) fur rugs and hang sweeping taffeta from that mile high ceiling.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>BUT, my accommodation now is a little more humble, and for this reason I've been finding myself drawn to white furniture and accessories. It just makes the whole room seem bigger and I love how fresh it feels.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>In my searching I found these items which I absolutely love! The blazer is from Topshop and that and the bag would just look so good in the sunshine we've finally been getting. I'm always tentative when it comes to white shoes... call me old fashioned but someone mentions white stilettos and I shriek with images in my head of some 70s lady of thine boardwalk, but these platform lace heels from New Look have converted me! Imagine the look of them with a summer tan - divine.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I am in love with the Olivia Burton watch, she does so many pretty designs but this monotone hummingbird has to be my favourite. Finally, who cannot adore that teapot? Not only is the elephant adorable but the design of the thing is so beautiful!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Do you have any white favourites? Tell me about them below!</i></div>

<i>Never was a truer word spoken. It's been a rocky road for a while with me, not really having my direction planned, flitting from one "raison d'être" to the next, but finally things had started to piece together. I found an amazing guy who is everything I need him to be (insert eye-rolls and gagging noises from my old kind - the romancynicals), I was actually enjoying the last few weeks of uni... I know, right? And I was looking forward to my final summer of "freedom" before I had to bite the bullet and commit to some form of career path!</i><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<i>Without going into unnecessary detail and sympathy harvesting; the bottom fell out of my world last month and everything has been turned on its head.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">

<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.3em; padding: 0px;">
<i>I DO know who my real friends are, and they have been amazing through all of it. People have been texting, calling, bringing flowers and just generally understanding we all need as much support as we can get at the moment. I can't get to the end of a post about this without mentioning my best friend, who has always been on hand with pizza, little trips out & general taking my mind off it-ness!</i></div>

<i>Anyway, my point is that I have time on my hands now that I REALLY need a focus of my attention for! (Shocking grammar; forgive me) so I've decided that, between finishing assignments for uni, I'll try and get back into blogging.</i><br />
<i>I would really appreciate any suggestions for what I could post about, so if you have any please post them below or email me on talulahsattic@gmail.com</i><br />

<br />
Evening All :)<br />
<br />
Thought I would do another Instagram post as they seem to go down pretty well and it's the easiest way to show you all what I've been up to this Autumn.<br />
As usual, if you find this kind of post boring that's fine, if you don't read it I won't hold it against you... Much ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
As you may have caught on, I love Autumn. Especially the colours and the leaves turning as you can see. I've been loving the colder weather, even the horrible rainy evenings, and the fact the nights are drawing in earlier since the clocks went back.<br />
Although driving home in the dark and wet can be miserable, getting in to the warm is lovely.<br />
I've been making the most of the chill by warming up with lots of cuppas in front of the telly, made better by the now-justified duvet dvd nights. Of course there is the obligatory Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte shot. I genuinely couldn't care less how common and stereotypical this is I LIKE THEM, OK?! ;)<br />
I went to Yarm Fair for the first time since I was still at school, I was dragged along by my friend but I have to admit we had a great time, hooking ducks and eating candy floss until my teeth started to cry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Another drink I've become rapidly obsessed with is the Hot Spiced Apple from Costa (yes, I'm cheating on the 'bucks, just don't tell them) its so tasty and smells AMAZING! It's a little on the sweet side but also quite tangy which I think balances it out. Let me know if you have/do give it a try!<br />
I carved my pumpkin at stupid o'clock with no plan and winged it, which is why it was no where near up to the standard of last year's!<br />
I also want a Degu. If any of you have one and can tell me the general Degu rules (how friendly they are, if they make good pets, etc) I'd be very appreciative! This one was just so cute in the shop and came running up to the bars to see me (I am fully aware he probably just thought I had food. Sad face.)<br />
The 'selfie' (god I hate that word) was from girls night and I LOVE my new top!<br />
And finally, I made some Gingerbread and Vanilla Whoopie Pies for Bonfire Night last night. I'd never made them before and didn't really know what I was doing but they turned out great! And SO yummy! I'd love to make them again but I'm not sure if, knowing how much icing sugar and butter went into that frosting, my conscience will ever let me.<br />
<br />
Hope you are all enjoying your Autumn and aren't rushing head-on into Christmas just yet!<br />
<br />
I'll be posting again this week about something I feel quite strongly about (not really like me, I know!) so keep a look out for that :)<br />
<br />
Until then, take care.

<i>I can’t wait for Autumn.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Okay so here’s the thing…</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I hate summer. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s a bold statement to make, I know, but every year I fall
into the trap of expectation, and every year I’m left with the disappointing
reality.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Expectation – hot days, hot nights, hot sun… at all times!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Reality – a few sunbathe-worthy days. Granted, this year we
seemed to get a good spell of heat, and you could almost plan something for the
week ahead with the guarantee of good weather… almost. But then the torrential
downpours arrived. And the pointlessly boiling days when the sun barely made an
appearance.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Expectation – We were going to make like the summer tumblr
tag, and do the things those moronic smiling beach babes were doing. So you
packed things for a BBQ didn’t you, and headed optimistically for the beach!
Woooo!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Reality - Where you got sand on everything, mainly the food.
And got approximately 30minutes of relaxation before you were almost mauled by
a passing Rottweiler and were serenaded by the sweet sounds of the Jeremy Kyle
rejects sitting 20yards away with their white shite-ning.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Expectation – beach body, bikini body, babelicious beauty
bellyless body.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Reality – I should have that cake… because it’s SUMMER.
Logic – fail, body – frumpy, cake – goooood!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Okay so maybe I’m being unfair. Maybe I’m just having a moan
for the sake of it. But I’m allowed, I don’t enjoy summer, and I don’t care who
knows it. It’s uncomfortable, it drags, it makes you notice almost all the
things about your body that you loathe, and most of all… it never lives up to
expectation. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Unlike Autumn.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Autumn doesn’t pretend to be your friend. Autumn is upfront
and honest.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Look, I’m mostly gonna be wet and miserable. You’re gonna
be cold, you’re gonna never want to leave your bed, and you’re gonna get little
to no direct sunlight. BUT, you’ll start to ADORE the little things.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>So yeah, your shopping trip is going to be dire. Your primark
bag is going to get soggy and fall apart and you’re going to end up on a bus,
wet to your skin clutching your new purchases to your chest like a life jacket
on the titanic… but when you finally arrive home looking like stig of the dump,
imagine how wonderful everything will be. Making a cup of tea, putting your
pyjamas on (coz it’s dark outside, you’re allowed!) sticking the fire on and
watching Bridget Jones’ Diary with some chocolate and slippersocks. BLISS!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>So yes, Autumn is a bit glum, a bit dreary… but at least it isn’t
lying, cheating, fill-you-with-hopes-&-expectation-then-dash-it-all Summer!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I rest my case.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>(I’ll be doing a follow up post about things to look forward
to in Autumn soon)</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Until then, take care. Taz x</i></div>

But Cosmetics Are Easier To Buy.” - Yves Saint-Laurent<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I have an absolute nightmare when it comes to finding a make up brand I can commit to. It seems like every time I find a type of foundation that I love, it goes a little like this;<br />
<br />
it's perfect for me<br />
wow!<br />
how did I ever live without this in my life??<br />
...<br />
actually it's a bit dry<br />
its the wrong colour really<br />
oh god I look HIDEOUS!<br />
<br />
and this isn't just foundation, it's every piece of make up I own. I have my staple favourites (naturally, these are the ones that I usually have to take out a mortgage to buy) but my daily wear make up bag changes constantly. I've decided to stop wasting my money on trying every new cosmetic item that gets released and instead focus on trying to find the right shades and 'types' (do I want creams, mousses, powders?) of make up to suit my face.<br />
<br />
I've never ordered from the Make Up Academy before but a lovely Twitter friend of mine told me about a sale they had on, so I went for it and bought a few items, just to try different things out.<br />

I haven't used a BB cream yet and thought I should give it a go considering all the hype about it. The foundation is nice and smooth and the colour isn't too bold but also isn't pale enough to wash me out.</div>

<br />
<br />
Okay, no excuses or apologies for my absense. I'm back now, so let us not dwell!<br />
<br />
Just a VERY quick post tonight to tell you about my weekend.<br />
<br />
Since Christmas and New Year has been over and done with I've been trying to keep to a very strict diet, and it's working wonders, but the fact is I LOVE CAKE. One of the things me and my mum do to have a really good chat is go for afternoon tea so, as a treat, we went over to Crathorne Hall on Saturday and indulged!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
It was so delicious, the best part being the miniature Black Forest Gateux and a White Chocolate Ganache Tiffin. <br />
Afterwards we put our walking boots on and went for a walk around the grounds. There was about a foot of snow in parts and I ended up with snow in places I can't even talk about.<br />

It was a lovely day and we did it just in time as by this morning all the snow had disappeared!<br />
<br />

I've decided to do an Instagram post.<br />
In the past I've heard people go on about how dull they are, and how people fail to see the point in them... Well, with an attitude like that, what's the point of having Instagram at all? Surely the whole idea is to show people what you've been up to and the pictures you've taken while doing it.<br />
Anyway, I LIKE THEM. So there :) I love nosing at what people have been up to and I especially love a good instagram. (My best friend's fail safe of getting me to go places with her is now "You can Instagram it!" haha)<br />
If you fall into the demographic of instagram-blog-post haters, I suggest you depart now, you have been warned!<br />

Last weekend we went to Northallerton for some late lunch. We hadn't realised it, but there was a Beer Fest going on which had a Continental Market attached to it. They had an amazing stall with bowls upon bowls of Turkish Delight, Olives and Pastries like Baklava which I absolutely love! I also bought some macaroons whilst I was there which I've never had before but always wanted to try. They're delicious! Will definitely be buying some again.<br />
<br />
I found the beautiful blue velvet shoes in Topshop. I don't usually go for velvetty things (I'm not keen on the feel of them) but these were just so gorgeous with their sparkly heel and platform. They were £75.<br />
<br />
Me and Morag also found those rather fetching police headbands out shopping. Aren't they attractive! Haha!<br />
<br />
Obviously there's another photo of my beautiful Bobby sleeping on the sofa. She looks quite big there but she's still only a kitten. So cute!<br />

We have finally been re-visiting our beloved Tea House this week! Now that the Autumn months are creeping in and the temperature is dropping we've really felt the need for some nice warming tea! On that day we had an array of Fairy Princess Tea, Spiced Orange Chai Tea, and Rose Bud Tea, all of which were delicious!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The top right is a photo I took at Rushpool Hall. We visit it regularly and I actually had my 18th Birthday there years ago so it has some lovely memories for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been having some more Autumnal walks which I really enjoy. I love it when the ground is crisp and crunches under your feet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Has anyone tried the new Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks? I bought my first one at the beginning of last week and didn't know what to expect... I'm now on about my fifth, so you can assume I loved it! It's very seasonal and warms you up on a chilly day!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a lovely meal at Pizza Express the other weekend and my favourite bit was definitely dessert. I had the Semi Freddo Reale and a Tia Maria coffee. Delicious!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weekend we went to York for a big surprise birthday celebration, which was great fun (and, amazingly, all came together in the end!) we had a gorgeous meal at Rustique, a small French restaurant on Castlegate. There was a Kinky Donuts stall (that made me giggle), the York Eye, and of course a Hotel Chocolat, where I couldn't resist getting some goodies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then after arriving home on Sunday evening, my best friend asked if I fancied a trip to the beach (she used the old Instagram line) so I got a lovely photo of the pier all lit up at Saltburn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it, my fortnight in Instagrams! I hope you liked it and it wasn't too "dull" :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What have you been doing lately? And how are you liking the Autumn coming upon us?</div>

Last weekend I went to the London 2012 Paralympics and it was hands-down one of the best experiences I've ever had. The atmosphere was amazing all through the Park and all of the Gamesmakers were so happy and helpful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were seeing the Athletics so were in the Olympic Stadium and it was
completely electric. Having seen it so much on telly, I thought I had a
good idea of what it would be like, but I was wrong. I expected the view
from our seats (the middle price category of 3) to be quite restricted
and to only see the Athletes as little dots on a miles-away track, but
the view was fantastic! We could see everything, track and field.</div>

The best moments for me were; first, seeing Richard Whitehead win and
receive his Gold medal. The place went insane when he won, and I have to
admit to emitting noises and screeches I never expected I had in me!
Singing the National Anthem as a crowd of 80,000 was just unreal!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We saw 6 GB medals in total! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The other stand out moment was seeing Houssien Omar Hassan, an Athlete from Djibouti running the 1500m. He's the one in blue on the above photos. When the pistol went, all of the runners set off and it quickly became clear that he wouldn't be in the running for the medals. He was lapped twice by the other competitors and was still on his first lap when the group had finished. But the most inspiring and humbling thing was that as he went round, barely faster than a stumble, the entire stadium stood up and cheered him on as if he was in the lead. A mexican wave-style round of applause greeted him from every stand as he went by. Even the commentators, whose speech was audible only to the TV Broadcast for all other events, came back through the speakers to will him on and all the screens you see on the photos lit up with "MAKE SOME NOISE!". It was a very emotional 11 minutes and as he crossed the line, the cheer went up as if he'd just won gold. He certainly won something.</div>

<br />
<br />
Afternoon all!<br />
<br />
I got back from my little holiday last weekend so wanted to show you what I got up to.<br />
<br />
However, after reading through some of my past posts, I've realised I do have a tendancy to 'waffle'. So for this post I'm going to try and summarise a bit more and let my photos do the talking.<br />
<br />
We stayed in a little cottage quite near York, and it was small but really cosy. Bijou, if you like! And the view was beautiful. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Just down the road was Yorkshire Lavender which I didnt really expect to enjoy that much. But there was actually lots to see and do, including some cute little deer and an interesting cricket game sculpture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpT15u691AdIsL4NFo4wmvSa4epfTUjUV7oa0sY50-1f2H0lzukSTlbQjj4-vZtpxE6dzxqD0zG-hJBROHkS2Eq91MCMLnNJmF8HItB8M8jtBIxx7EjsICtg-iHBOnQ9ODfoKjehK1Kw/s1600/deer.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpT15u691AdIsL4NFo4wmvSa4epfTUjUV7oa0sY50-1f2H0lzukSTlbQjj4-vZtpxE6dzxqD0zG-hJBROHkS2Eq91MCMLnNJmF8HItB8M8jtBIxx7EjsICtg-iHBOnQ9ODfoKjehK1Kw/s320/deer.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
We also had some amazing things to eat, like Lavender Ice Cream, Lavender Tea and (yes, you guessed it) Lavender Shortbread!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We also visited Malton, Hovingham and Gilling, which are all beautifully picturesque villages, and the gorgeous Benningbrough Hall where we had tea and lunch before looking around the house. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The weather was great all week and the most spectacular thing was the clear nights. Because of being out in the countryside there was absolutely no light pollution. I took a few photos just on the off-chance of them picking something up. After filtering and HDR-ing the hell out of them, this was one of the results;<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally, on the day that we left, we decided to take a trip over to Castle Howard for lunch. We were seated by a family who were all laughing and chatting, when an older gentleman turned and smiled at my mum, greeting her with a happy "hello there!" and then we realised it was Michael Parkinson!<br />
<br />

He was visiting on his way to do a show at Scarborough theatre, and had stopped for lunch with his family. He was a lovely man and chatted with us throughout lunch.<br />
<br />
It was a lovely relaxing week. Hope you're all having wonderful trips this summer. Tell me about them below!<br />

It's been such a long time since my last post, and for that I am eternally sorry!<br />
<br />
I should probably catch you up on what I've been up to.<br />
I got my Uni results for this year back, and came out with an overall first, which I'm very pleased with.<br />
<br />
Since Summer began I haven't had a minute spare (hence the total lack of blogging) but I spent a lot of time seeing friends and catching up. And drank a fair amount of cocktails too :)<br />
<br />
First week of the holidays I was cat-sitting for my God Parents. They live by the sea and luckily a lot of friends (& my big brother) live over there so I got plenty of beach time (and more cocktails) in!<br />
<br />
One day we went over to a place called Sledmere House, which was beautiful!<br />

My godparents cats are gorgeous and still only really small so they would come for cuddles all the time. So adorable!<br />

While I was shopping over there, I came across a little sweet shop which did some amazing stuff I'd never seen before. There were a lot of American sweets & drinks but I was taken in by this giant block of Equador (I think) Hot Chocolate which you break a bit off and drop it into milk. It's meant to be the tastiest thing ever!<br />

Leading on from that, I am on a determined health kick!<br />
(I didn't buy the hot chocolate... sob!)<br />
Perhaps spurred on by the Olympics, and all the outrageously beautiful people that went with it, I'm really trying to cut down on the bad stuff. I have a few healthy but tasty recipes to post, hopefully not in the too distant future!<br />
My main downfall is alcohol.<br />
I just can't part with my mojitos and wine. Does anyone know any nice alternatives I could give a try?<br />
My friend and I are also going to start swimming regularly. (Mostly to try and bag guys who look like Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte!)<br />
<br />
Speaking of the Olympics, wasn't it fabulous?!<br />
I enjoyed every minute of it and really think the whole event did us, as a nation, proud!<br />
After a gruelling SIX HOURS (Yes, SIX) at the computer I finally managed to get Athletics tickets for the Paralympics so I will certainly be blogging about that!<br />
<br />
I've been working hard at our various Halls and Castles since I got back and will post lots of pictures in another post.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello All!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've decided to do a HAUL post on things I bought at the MetroCentre in Gateshead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't go there that often, not since I left Sunderland, but I went a few weeks ago with the girls and got some great stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided to go again this week and, since one of my best friends lives about 15mins away, we drove over on Monday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd heard about this American Candy place opening up and the week of it opening there were apparently queues out the door, so I was excited the check it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, evidently the reason the queues were out the door were probably because its smaller than my bedroom! It's a tiny place, for anyone who knows the MetroCentre it's in that little village set-up between the green & blue malls, so only teeny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had a few nice things, but my friend went to America for a couple of years and would send loads of stuff back so there was nothing that really stood out to me. I did get a couple of cans of Mountain Dew though because I've never had the proper American stuff, just that energy one you can get over here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got some, more, candles. If you follow my blog / twitter you'll probably know I have a bit of an addiction to candles, and a quite substantially larger addiction to Yankee Candles...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, the Christmas Tree tealights were super reduced from Christmas so that's okay, right?! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Pink Rose one just looked pretty, and smelled nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And was only £1.50 from Primark. Bargain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit to totally going off Primark in the last few years, and if I'm being honest, I got a bit snooty about it, thinking it was just cheap tat. BUT, I think they've really raised their game recently and although you can't expect to compare the quality against the more expensive shops, they do have some nice stuff.</div>

The only clothing I bought from there was this Roxy Music top. It's really short so probably good over denim or high-waisted shorts maybe? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got some stuff from the Home department, I really like some of the things they have on offer...</div>

I'm not even embarrassed about the Avengers poster! It's only a mini one but I still unashamedly LOVE it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The DVDs, if you can't see them, are Three Kings, Tropic Thunder, The Office Series 1 & 2, Dogma and Pearl Harbour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also got two other posters which I havent put up yet, but they're big ones in the style of the "Keep Calm And Carry On" signs, but one's movie quotes and one's song titles. (I'll take snaps of them when they're up!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sloe Gin, aztec spice chocolates, and a camel...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Well, I was supposed to stay home and clear my room ready for
redecorating, which in itself is an epic task and most likely to take
weeks, so naturally... I went out.<br />
<br />
Luckily for me, the mother was also avoiding the same task so we decided
to drive aimlessly around for procrastinations sake. <br />
<br />
After filling up as much time as possible exploring the countryside for
castles and stately homes (yes, that's literally how we spend our lives)
we ended up at a farm shop off one of the main roads. <br />
<br />
Driving down the driveway to the shop we were admiring all the cute
calfs. We were so busy discussing how cute and fluffy they were (think
"it's so fluffy im gonna die!") that we didn't even notice the eight
foot - two humped - eff off CAMEL that was in the opposite field.<br />
<br />
I'm not even playing with you.<br />
It was a camel... In the middle of County Durham.<br />
<br />(For those playing the "pics or it didn't happen")...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Anyway, just when my day couldn't get better - went into the shop to find they have a WALL of alcohol.<br />
<br />
Now I know not all of us are fully acquainted yet but, simply put, there
are three things in this world that I have an integrated magnetic pull
towards...<br />
DVDs<br />
Jason Momoa<br />
And ALCOHOL.<br />
(and not necessarily in that order)<br />
<br />
Long story short I walked away with 6 bottles of bizarre flavoured
liquer, some apple wine, aztec spiced chocolates (I can only assume they taste of that well-known flavour 'Ancient Civilisation'..?) and numerous photographs of a 2500miles lost
camel.<br />
<br />
Welcome to my life! :)</div>

Hello all! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As some of you will know, it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I was absolutely spoilt rotten, so I wanted to show you a few of the lovely things I got. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up to breakfast in bed, which was gorgeous and so thoughtful... and then went downstairs to find an actual pyramid of presents! Along with a bottle bag for good measure (and anything in a bottle is certainly good measure!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had a chilled out day where we went for a picnic and saw friends. Then in the evening we went out for a slap-up (I do hate that phrase!) meal, again with my nearest and dearest. Two of my best friends got me a box full of gorgeous stuff (pics will be at the bottom) and my auntie and uncle got me some lovely jewellery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a great meal, I ended up taking half of it home with me... even though me and Sarah couldn't resist getting dessert, which was a snickerbockerglory. Kinda like a peanut butter sundae! Nommmm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I got home, a cute giant cupcake was waiting for me off my mum and dad, and a mysterious envelope which, when I opened it, was a voucher for a weekend away in a Manor House including Spa, Facial and Massage! It was so sweet of them, especially after how much I'd already got!</div>

The Jacquard throw is what I bought with some of my birthday money because I love being cosy and snuggly - it's absolutely huge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also do a lot of writing so the Paperchase notebook was perfect, it's much bigger than most other I have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The photo in the middle of the three is what my absolutely beautiful girls from uni got me. We went out for a meal just after my birthday and they surprised me with a huge bag of stuff! There's a Floozie make up bag set, a scented candle, some lip glosses, a spa set and some earrings from Topshop that I'd been gazing longingly at for weeks. It was so thoughtful of them and I nearly cried into my TGI Fridays!</div>

I am a self-proclaimed geek and I do love things to do with the Universe. It's going to sound SO sad but I just love looking at the pictures of how big the galaxy is, it sometimes really puts things in perspective knowing there's so much more out there than my problems!</div>

Apparently, King Henry VIII used to stay there! So I was hoping for some creepy, haunting activity... but unfortunately I was left disappointed! Although there was this big old chest that, when we opened it, had a picture of a demon in... So chances are, we've unleashed some curse on the place for the next visitors!</div>

<br />
<br />
Hi guys!<br />
<br />
I’ve got a few things ready to type up and post in the (I hope) not too distant future. There’s a birthday post featuring some of the beautiful presents I got, and another which I’m going to refer to as a “vintage venture” which I went on last week. So they should be up within the next week. <br />
<br />
However, after the excitement of the jubilee… and the mass of cakes I ate in celebration of it (God bless you ma’am!) I’ve decided to type up one of my favourite recipes. If you hate the sound of it, don’t make it… I think it’s simple enough :) <br />
<br />
And if you do make it, let me know how it goes!<br />
<br />
I am unashamedly obsessed with The Hairy Bikers. <br />
(Many believe this is because my father is hairy... and a biker.)<br />
Anyway, my dad got their cookbook from a friend and because he is a self-proclaimed masterchef of the world he, naturally, believed it would be of no use to him and passed it down to his curinarily-challenged daughter! (for the slow kid at the back - that's me!)<br />
<br />
I love their recipes because they're easy to follow, they don't use ponsey ingredients (Nigella, I love you, but no-one has oak-dried baby porcini mushrooms or cave-aged truffle pesto in their cupboard!) and they eat REAL food, these guys are not cooking for diet-dwellers!<br />
One recipe I adore is Key Lime Pie so I thought I would share it with you all - ENJOY! <br />
<br />
Ingredients <br />
<br />
For the base <br />
<br />
· 175g/6oz <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/digestive_biscuit">digestive biscuits</a> <br />
<br />
· 80g/3oz <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/butter">butter</a> <br />
<br />
· 50g/2oz <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/caster_sugar">caster sugar</a> <br />
<br />
For the filling <br />
<br />
· 3 large free-range eggs, separated <br />
<br />
· 2 limes, finely grated zest <br />
<br />
· 125ml/4½fl oz lime juice <br />
<br />
· 210ml/7½fl oz condensed milk <br />
<br />
· 80g/3oz caster sugar <br />
<br />
· ½ tsp vanilla extract <br />
<br />
· pinch salt <br />
<br />
To serve <br />
<br />
· whipped cream <br />
<br />
Preparation method <br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.<br />
<br />
For the pastry base, finely crush the biscuits by placing into a plastic bag and bashing with a rolling pin (alternatively, pulse to crumbs using a food processor). Transfer to a mixing bowl. <br />
<br />
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then pour over the biscuit crumbs. Add the sugar, then mix well to combine. Evenly spread the biscuit mixture in a 23cm/9in pie case, making sure to cover the sides of the tin as well. Level off any excess biscuit mixture. <br />
<br />
For the filling, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl until pale and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice and condensed milk until smooth and creamy, then mix into the egg yolk mixture. Pour the mixture into the pie case. <br />
<br />
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Gradually fold in the sugar, vanilla extract and salt, then whisk again until stiff peaks form. Spoon the meringue mixture over the filling in the pie case, using a fork to form the meringue into peaks. <br />
<br />
Bake the pie in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden-brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Place into the fridge to chill completely before serving. <br />
<br />
To serve, cut slices of the key lime pie and serve with a few spoonfuls of whipped cream. <br />
<br />
Hope some of you will give it a try and tell me if you like/love/hate it!<br />
<br />
Will try and get those other posts up within the week but going away tomorrow on a birthday surprise trip!<br />
(Will also post about that too!)<br />
<br />
Until then, take care.<br />
<br />
Lots of love, Taz xTalulahs Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04148105711536625421noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101824356823117181.post-67393266230651798722012-05-10T09:47:00.000-07:002012-09-12T14:51:13.565-07:00Fresh, Fun, Cutting Edge Designs That Can't Be Found On The High Street<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi guys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't say how sorry I am that I haven't posted in so long! I'm the worst blogger in the world! But I will try to make it up to you from now on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A while back I bought a few items from Punky Pins. They're an online company who do all kinds of wonderful stuff specialising in kitsch, handmade and personalised jewellery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who watched The Voice a couple of weeks back, Ruth Brown was adorned in their amazing creations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I buy from them regularly and am always impressed with their quality and just LOVE the items they offer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I got this time round...</div>

And finally, my personalised necklace. I adore this! They have so many different styles to choose from and they'll put any name on there for you. Ideal as a piece of statement jewellery, or get a friend's name put on there as a gift? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can even get Twitter ones with your @ name on there, so when that cute boy is checking you out but you're both too shy to make the first move, he'll have all the appropriate details to chat you up online later!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's what I got and I already have my eye on something else. Sadly, I can't justify another necklace at the moment, especially after buying this lot! But I'll show you it off the website...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Should I just buy it to avoid disappointment? Or be really good and save my money?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, wanted to share this beautiful stuff with you, and hopefully encourage you to go check it out yourself (but if you all go on and sell out my snowglobe necklace, there will be hell on! Haha!)</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I haven't posted in a while because I haven't had much to say! But I wanted to tell you all about some of the lovely things I've been upto and share some photos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Firstly, when I went for my weekend in Durham I bought these adorable little postcards for two of my friends which I've been wanting to show you for ages but I only gave them out on friday! (I am a terrible person) They are soooo cute and were perfectly apt for the friends in question.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They were from Paperchase and I also got one for my mum saying "I Love You So Much I Could Squish You!" haha. So sweet!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This post follows a theme about the same friends really because one of my 'things' is afternoon tea... I just LOVE it, it's so quaint and very English (I'm carrying forth the Ladies Who Luncheon flag for us Brits!) so my friends got us a voucher for Champagne Afternoon Tea at Mount Oswald Manor Hotel and Golf Club for Christmas! It was super kind of them and really thoughtful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Also last week, me and Nix went for a day out in Stokesley. The market was on and the sun was out so it was gorgeous! We went to Chapters Bistro for lunch and would totally recommend it, it was amazing value for money, then did a bit of shopping, looked through the market and then headed to the Deli On The Green for some tea and cake!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had Polenta shortbread which I'd never even heard of before, but it was delicious! So chewy and yum! And Nix got a pot of tea the size of her head! haha!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They also offer a great range of deli produce too. I got my mum some almond, cherry and linseed crackers along with some oak smoked wensleydale and nix got some haloumi. It also sells loads of chocolates and organic produce as well as chutneys, vinagrettes, and booze.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Hi All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had loads of views on my last post about This Means War so thank you all for that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decided to post a purchases... post (too many p's!) of some of the lovely things I've been naughtily spending all my money on! First thing is this lunchbox... </div>
<br />

I am fully aware that I am about 15 years too old for a lunchbox but it was just TOO cute to leave in the shop! Naturally I'm not carrying my lunch round in it (that would be weird, right?) so it's currently holding a large majority of my nail varnishes!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However! I did use it for its 'sort of' intended use the other weekend in Durham because I filled it with treats for in the hotel room, like a box of malteasers and some lindor, nommy nom ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I actually adore them! And they're not horrendously uncomfortable which isn't always a necessity but is a huge bonus! They were a really reasonable price (I won't tell you how reasonable...) and were the only pair left in the whole shop. I especially love the leopard print inside, even though no-one sees it but me when I take them off! The pictures don't show it that well but they have about a 4" heel and maybe 1.5" platform so they give me a lot of height but don't kill my feet!</div>

I've also been splurging on smaller things like my pink skull shamballa bracelet, some Calvin Klein lipstick (in Cosmopolitan - a gorgeous corally pink) and 'another' candle from my favourite candle shop in Hutton-le-Hole - Moorwax Candles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He makes them all in the workshop and you can go in and make requests. I once wanted a specific colour candle but in a shape that he didn't make them in, but as soon as he found out what I was after, he told me to go back a week later and lo and behold he'd made some just for me! This French Cedar one smells beautiful! There are loads of varieties of the tinned candles and they all smell divine, I got my mum a few as presents and always grab a cheeky one for myself!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also decided to throw caution to the wind and abandon my femininity at the weekend to watch the Rugby with my dad. I thought I'd better get into the spirit of things and glug some cider... but found this spiced orange ginger beer in the back of the fridge instead and it was LUSH! Needless to say, the swearing and blokiness soon faded back to swooning girlish giggling when all the extremely hot men in extremely tight shorts ran out onto the pitch (I'm sure rugby players didn't used to look like that...) but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Obviously.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, since I'm obsessed with Starbucks, I treated myself to a half price gift set from the leftover Christmas stock. I didn't realise until I got it home and filled it with House Blend that it was actually the size of my head! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it's perfect for snuggling on the sofa with a fur throw and a massive brew!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, that's it, a few of the things I've bought.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope I haven't bored you to death! And if I have, well it's your own fault, you could've left at any point ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time my loves, take care!</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
So last week I went to see This Means War at the cinema.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoJ5IabLmkrcQjyKOImtOaa2vbc9Hke_uz0BQlLiqcsJUwX7FH5LoMnsNMZwmWx1w-1EBTl98ULqm333IwHIX5C4s8gt8lSrHCb-Zeto_nBdHV3bYf8eDlMFwJqG6qUsrp2L-ppDDbjPo/s1600/this-means-war-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoJ5IabLmkrcQjyKOImtOaa2vbc9Hke_uz0BQlLiqcsJUwX7FH5LoMnsNMZwmWx1w-1EBTl98ULqm333IwHIX5C4s8gt8lSrHCb-Zeto_nBdHV3bYf8eDlMFwJqG6qUsrp2L-ppDDbjPo/s640/this-means-war-poster.jpg" width="432" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest I went to see it for one reason and one reason alone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4O59DE6dF6yzMQo2mSb2n8PhmDbSlYpH_r3DV1UgIPoSftkPkuSdTMPipVDS4rxxm5LA8eI6zrFpMPMdPW5B_uVVMmIyWCEr_SOyPm3mVOBIy-bPTov5EycMrvcyroAeA9QANNpfREcw/s1600/tuck1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4O59DE6dF6yzMQo2mSb2n8PhmDbSlYpH_r3DV1UgIPoSftkPkuSdTMPipVDS4rxxm5LA8eI6zrFpMPMdPW5B_uVVMmIyWCEr_SOyPm3mVOBIy-bPTov5EycMrvcyroAeA9QANNpfREcw/s320/tuck1.jpg" width="218" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And needless to say, it didn't disappoint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story is about two best friends, who happen to be CIA agents, who fall for the same girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She doesn't know they're friends and goes about dating both of them, not knowing the other is seeing almost everything that happens and trying to counteract it. It stars Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Chelsea Handler.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8oQfWw1Jpv1-xM8l-jKaevah8OTHkPm1JcFBPccJZuZO94yyT9b5PXQazQZFeakvWaKN6ids4CJl9T0f1QLfM79IXG-O6HQCsMxhG1O2RWxZSYuQWNgel6P8yxIInnB9lZ1idfFUlmvs/s1600/fdr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8oQfWw1Jpv1-xM8l-jKaevah8OTHkPm1JcFBPccJZuZO94yyT9b5PXQazQZFeakvWaKN6ids4CJl9T0f1QLfM79IXG-O6HQCsMxhG1O2RWxZSYuQWNgel6P8yxIInnB9lZ1idfFUlmvs/s320/fdr.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There isn't so much as far as story goes (it's no Inception) but I still found it thoroughly entertaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's got a great mix of action and rom-com which I don't think is a base very well covered recently (in my opinion, I could be miles from the truth!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stunts are great and there are a few one liners that had me giggling for hours afterwards, but that could be my simple mind! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5OzO9nS9RMFIxD-fWz5JPgjfx7ZgpsBbgLgpJTSJEIYtiwBdQAWwLWzSRlLmK3cJ1M9FygG3aFUlKMQsg7eMsVTsfZAUXe8h2HmUsnA6POM-xNZiQNCyAw6t_L9bGKGwWyxfGoi2Zlg/s1600/guns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5OzO9nS9RMFIxD-fWz5JPgjfx7ZgpsBbgLgpJTSJEIYtiwBdQAWwLWzSRlLmK3cJ1M9FygG3aFUlKMQsg7eMsVTsfZAUXe8h2HmUsnA6POM-xNZiQNCyAw6t_L9bGKGwWyxfGoi2Zlg/s400/guns.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was actually really nice to see Tom Hardy in something a bit less intense than the stuff he usually does. He's a fantastic actor and always takes me in but it was good for him to show he can do the more lighthearted, less tortured characters as well as the psychopaths he can so easily portray!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I won't give anything away but she does choose one guy in the end! (I did wonder how they were going to swing it) but *semi-spoiler-alert* it is all happy endings by the credits... kinda!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've got a free afternoon and you like an all-round entertaining mix of action, romance and comedy, go and see this. And if not, go see it for this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hi all. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent the back end of last week in Durham on a girly weekend that my mum organised to surprise me! She's the absolute best and I had a fantastic time. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzE2kjQTriNOMMVi-izgHXI-XUpYXkJKQY3Ywn-guddlcadUxgUhQiIjSVaceU7Fpi0XrBFDZAfJIB3jRVYZ90R34xwTVM8Mne0AANERnYzHRLilfrXDk4FEVZHoH0GaA61EFQGx5QX4A/s1600/durham_cathedral.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzE2kjQTriNOMMVi-izgHXI-XUpYXkJKQY3Ywn-guddlcadUxgUhQiIjSVaceU7Fpi0XrBFDZAfJIB3jRVYZ90R34xwTVM8Mne0AANERnYzHRLilfrXDk4FEVZHoH0GaA61EFQGx5QX4A/s400/durham_cathedral.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday we got to our hotel (an amazing gothic town house) and unpacked, then grabbed a taxi into the city. We wandered round a bit to see what there was, I got some gorgeous pictures of the river & castle, and did a bit of shopping (I got a new denim jacket) then in the evening we had the meal of our lives at Cafe Rouge, it really was delicious.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday we went to the castle and cathedral. The castle is actually part of Durham Uni and their halls of residence. I can't imagine being able to call a castle my home! Super jealous! The cathedral is stunning. I'd only ever seen the outside before and that was at 4 in the morning on a spontaneous late night (early morning) roadtrip with some Uni friends. Even if you're not religious the architecture is just amazing and it did take my breath away for moment :)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did a little more culture vulturing before heading back and the weather was gorgeous! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you've had the sun where you are. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately I returned home after only 3hrs sleep to a presentation the very next morning and a case study of the BBC the day after but now they're out the way I'm feeling much more relaxed! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we're heading back to Durham in a couple of weeks because my gorgeous best friends got us a champagne afternoon tea at Mount Oswald Manor so will be living the high life yet again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all having a lovely week and I'll post again soon.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lots of Love, Taz x</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a quick post tonight but had to share my ordeal with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I went (or rather was FORCED) to go and see 'The Woman in Black'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnczfMN4qzAM4nam2rC4jgTHgzOygOtIDDE-e4PLFevkMlO3IJiS6NBVDhonFr3ldqgkinCVRZrXrC5uNtikCSKBH8dFWQGFMjhtmevrMNYMXYk3Xcu31ZcbvnxnLoVV-T6TNOe_Q71NU/s1600/the-woman-in-black-movie-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnczfMN4qzAM4nam2rC4jgTHgzOygOtIDDE-e4PLFevkMlO3IJiS6NBVDhonFr3ldqgkinCVRZrXrC5uNtikCSKBH8dFWQGFMjhtmevrMNYMXYk3Xcu31ZcbvnxnLoVV-T6TNOe_Q71NU/s400/the-woman-in-black-movie-poster.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For anyone who doesn't know about it, it's a new film adaptation of the story which stars Daniel Radcliffe and Ciaran Hinds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a bit worried about the believability as I'm obviously used to seeing Daniel as Harry Potter but he played it really well and I never thought about the Potter boy (although his wand skills would've come in really handy in my opinion). I really like Ciaran Hinds as well but, other than Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, I had only ever seen him in TV dramas. Both characters were performed well and were really relatable so I did care about what happened to them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The film itself has been hyped as one of the scariest of our time and I was already terrified before going... And it was all downhill from there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I saw more of the inside of my scarf than I did the actual film. And I think me & Sophie spent more time elbowing each other in panic and trying to contain our nervous laughter! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieDU_7WWmn3Tdhjv_eAPnlBIvw8_Am9ZpWJ7v71KcfesE1ML4Gzd2Xhy2ChIXTmSPBu5McROY5_F9VrGULYoQaYZXiaWue2ONvPmWPQ8gF7nKa-thqWk5vckPuFNqySXRAfZpgdqK76lE/s1600/599540-2012_the_woman_in_black_011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieDU_7WWmn3Tdhjv_eAPnlBIvw8_Am9ZpWJ7v71KcfesE1ML4Gzd2Xhy2ChIXTmSPBu5McROY5_F9VrGULYoQaYZXiaWue2ONvPmWPQ8gF7nKa-thqWk5vckPuFNqySXRAfZpgdqK76lE/s400/599540-2012_the_woman_in_black_011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obviously I'm not going to give anything away for anyone who wants to see it but the sound effects were probably the scariest thing about it. I really did get chills and it had me screaming! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you like the tension and adrenaline that goes with horror films then definitely go see this. It has a perfect mix of creepiness and jumpiness and also a bit of in your face horror! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm never letting the girls lead me into a film like that again but I did love it I have to admit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's all for now, will post again soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of love, Taz</div>

Wow it's been forever since my last post. I'm going to assume a lot has happened since it's been so long so I'll try and remember as much as poss! Well... I got my ears pierced, after 21 years of not really being bothered about it. I expected it to really hurt but I didn't feel a thing! Not during or after. I've still got about 3 weeks before I can change them but I'm buying earrings now like no ones business! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also cut and dyed my hair. I got about 5 inches taken off (yikes!) and dyed it "Passion Red"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been spending an astronomical amount of money... Naughty naughty. I think it's the whole 'after christmas' period where everything's on offer and you're looking for fresh things for your fresh start. Although I'm now not allowed to spend any more money this month!
I've been back to my usual haunts (tea house, roots, dalton park etc) numerous times recently and I think they're probably a big factor in my spending!
We also got the snow at the beginning of feb. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Which, as anyone living in this country knows, means the whole of Great Britain shuts down at the sign of the first snowflake. It wasn't so bad this year though and although very pretty it didn't impact too much.</div>

On the 14th me and my Uni friends went out for Emma's birthday and brought her presents & valentines things! I took along some party bags like we were 9 again... complete with balloons!</div>

I've started using Graze and LoveFilm.
Graze is brilliant because they send me a box each week which contains four pots of snacks, they're specially selected to have the best nutritious value and they really do fill you up. </div>

LoveFilm is excellent as well, a few friends had tried it before but, back in my darker days of DVD buying obsession, it had never appealed to me. However, now I'm a recovering addict (lol) it's really good. A few times there have been films I was going to go out and buy but instead got them from LoveFilm... And I'm so glad I didn't waste my money! One DVD was £10 which actually amounts to a whole month of my film subscription and therefore unlimited movies through the post and online!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that things have been trundling along as usual... I'll do a purchases post soon to show you some of the lovely stuff I've got (including about 7 more Yankee Candles.. Oops) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the mean time, take care of yourselves. Lots of love, Taz x</div>

It's the Anthropologie catalogue and it's full of absolutely gorgeous stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is an old edition (Autumn 2011, I think) but it was the only one I could find floating around the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fairly expensive, but if you've shopped in places like The White Collection and some of the higher end stuff in John Lewis it's fairly similar. </div>

It sells clothes, which are beautiful and really good quality, but what I really love are the home items. We got some crockery from there recently and it's really well made and stunning to look at.</div>

I've also just been online to look through their range of throws and cushions... definitely thinking about making a cheeky purchase when I've budgeted for February!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The prices range from a few pounds for things like candles, mugs, etc. and a few clothing items like scarves and that sort of thing, right up to a few hundred for items of furniture, etc. If you like shabby chic or vintage items it's definitely worth a look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love flicking through the catalogues and seeing all the amazing stuff they offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're online, as I say, so if you like the look of it go and check it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got an essay to finish so going to dash off but just wanted to share this with you. Will post again soon!</div>

It's called The Olde Young Tea House and it's just so cute! It's set up almost like an old sweet shop with jars of flavoured tea on the shelves, you go up, have a sniff of them, and take the one you fancy up to the counter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole place is decorated with vintage things and everything is mismatched! </div>

They have all kinds of flavours, there's fruity ones like mango and strawberry... and spicy ones like oriental spice... nutty ones like sweet almond... mystical ones like sleeping beauty... and these amazing flower ones that come in a clear teapot, they start off as a bulb and you pop them in the water, then after a couple of minutes they grow in the tea and spread out showing all their petals! We were amazed!</div>
