Blogmas #14: Shrewsbury Winter Festival

Last weekend was the second Shrewsbury Winter Festival. I had gone to the one last year and really enjoyed so jumped at the chance to go again this year.

The only catch to this I would say is that you have to purchase a ticket for £6 whereas every other Christmas market or fayre I have been to recently has been free admission. Seems a bit of a steep price purely for entry considering the volumes of people that would visit it.

But nevertheless it was still a good Christmas market with a wide variety of stands, a lot from local  businesses as well so that's always a good thing.

Blogmas #12: Telford Christmas Market

If there's one thing that gets me into the Christmas spirit it's a good Christmas market. Food, gifts, drinks, attractions and more food!

This year in Telford they had their own German market is quite small I'd say 15 stands at the most but quaint non-the-less.

Definitely worth a trip out if you like that sort of thing.

Travel: Nice Market

While in Nice we visited the market they have looking for some souvenirs and bargains. The market runs down a strip in between restaurants in the old town and had lots of potential gift ideas and food. Which is always a must!

Mini Book Haul

Working in a library where I can borrow books for free means that it's not often that I find myself buying books these days. The other day I treated myself to a couple of titles that I have had my eye on for a while so I thought I would share these with you.

Wallflowers - Eliza Robertson £8.99

'A small boy and his grandmother set sail for China in the mud of her back yard; a supermarket car park becomes a graveyard of strewn blueberries; migratory birds fly over a marshland ringing with the sound of wooden spoons on kitchen pots; and the breaking of a silence between two roommates leads to disquieting revelations.

Victoria's Secret Haul

I went shopping in Birmingham after Christmas which could only mean one thing heading into Victoria's Secret!

I am obsessed if I could afford their underwear it would be the only underwear I'd buy - unfortunately it's not to be.

I do however have an obsession with their scents and body creams - yes they sell stuff besides underwear.

Where I Want to Visit in New York

I am visiting New York next year the one place I have always wanted to visit so I thought I would share with you all the sites I most want to see.

Please Note as I have not been before this will be a very stereotypical list.

Times Square - You can't go to New York and not visit Times Square all those screens and lights it's just so vibrant!

Broadway - We have already booked the tickets to go see this on Broadway and I really can not wait! I'm a massive Disney fan and I love the Theatre so I imagine Broadway will be amazing.

Birmingham Trip: Grand Central

The weekend before last I went on a trip up to Birmingham to see the new ironically named Grand Central. (Why would you call it that?)

Name aside I was looking forward to going round all of the shops and having a look around the John Lewis as I had never been in one before. Naturally I took my camera with me and took a few pictures:
