photo diary | lincoln christmas market

On Friday my friends and I decided to take a little break from essay writing and revising to take a trip up to Lincoln to see the Christmas Market. The train wasn't too bad for us on the journey there as they put on a large train due to the market and all the carriages are declassified so you can sit in first class, so that is exactly what we did. We were the only ones there, and as it was lunchtime while we were on the train we all sat and eat that without funny looks from other passengers like normal. 

FRIDAY 6TH DECEMBER

We had a look round Lincoln Cathedral as entry is now free and I felt like I was walking around Hogwarts. There was also a choir singing some Christmas song, they were lovely. 

Now onto the market, the bit we went for!

This beautiful building in the heart of the market is actually the crown courts!

For the journey back we again got to sit in first class and enjoy our dinner as we left at 6:30 and didn't get back into Leicester until 8:30. I had the new pigs and blankets panini from Costa! It was so yummy! It was followed by a doughnut from Doughnotts, of course, where we both had a cookie monster this time. 

Lizzie stayed in Lincoln and took a picture for me of the Cathedral at night!  SO beautiful, definitely will be going back there. 

We are planning to go to Manchester Christmas Market next year as I have always heard such good things about. I am also going back to Nottingham next week and I can't wait to see the Winter Wonderland there as it is always my favourite thing!

photo diary | the vamps, O2 london

It has been a while... Last month was spent in a serious revision mode because of my university exams which ended on the 24th May. They were followed by a weekend away in London with Jodie, Sophie and Lauren seeing The Vamps on tour. If you have been reading my blog for a while then you will know that I am a massive Vamps fan and every year I go to their tour. 

So... it is that time of year again for the 'photo diary' of the vamps tour. I hope you enjoy and if you are a fellow vamps fan, did you go to tour? 

I want to start this post off with a little OOTD because I am trying to branch out in my clothing and I honestly loved this outfit.

photo diary | LANY, nottingham

This time last week I was back at home in Nottingham for a concert to see the wonderful LANY. So I thought it was the perfect opportunity to do yet another photo diary as they are one of my favourite things to do, especially concert ones. 

Being home allowed me to take a trip to my favourite place, Bunk. If you are from either Derby or Nottingham then I highly recommend you try them out as they have the best food and some lovely cocktails too! Whenever I see Jodie, Sophie and Lauren we ALWAYS go out to Bunk.

photo diary | post malone, manchester

Back at the beginning of October my friends and I actually planned a trip together, which is very unheard of for us. We usually come up with the idea and then well, it just never happens - especially with the lads. However, this time was different. 

Over the past few months, we bought the concert tickets (not the city we originally wanted but that didn't matter), booked a hotel, figured out transport, hired a car, I booked a train ticket home. On Tuesday, Ben drove us to Manchester whilst we listened to every Post Malone song possible in that 2-hour journey, we checked into our hotel (thankfully I didn't have to share a room with anyone), we got ready, had a meal, had some drinks and went to the concert. Afterwards, it consisted of us still singing Post Malone songs, drunk, and heading towards Bierkeller (which ended up being shut because well it was a Tuesday night). Instead, we sat in good old Whetherspoons for a while before getting a uber back to the wrong hotel (thanks Ben).

TUESDAY 

Finally arrived after about 2 hours of driving, including a pit stop at KFC and gregs. 

We checked into the hotel and I thankfully had my own room, which meant I could take up loads of space in the bathroom with my favourite thing - my toiletry bag. (let's ignore the beer, which I did actually like????)

quick 'photoshoot' before dinner

 It took us a while to find somewhere to eat as we didn't plan it very well, but we did find somewhere eventually. A good old Chinese restaurant.

WEDNESDAY

We got caught in the rain on Wednesday but we still did a bit of shopping after Breakfast, before heading home. And home in Derby rather than back to University, as it was half term for my mum and brother so I spent the rest of the day with them which was lovely. It worked out perfectly too as I don't have uni till 12pm on a Thursday so I got a train in the morning on Thursday, I also have Tuesday & Wednesday off so thankfully I didn't miss any uni for this trip. 

Thank you so much for reading! I had the loveliest trip with my best friends, and we are definitely going to plan another trip like this when Post Malone comes back to the UK or just for another band/person. We are considering seeing the 2nd support act as he was great, had his music on for the journey home.
