Exploring Winchester

Michael and I have been on a couple of day trips recently as there have been so many new places to explore :) the weather was pants, but Winchester was possibly the most fancy so I must share a few highlights!

The cathedral 

A sweet little cafe 

The museum. I certainly liked this museum but it could have been a whole different experience. In York, the museum  has a road housing lots of different shops with experts keeping them- you can pop in and the staff will tell you what happened in them years ago and what they were used for etc. it's pretty incredible in my opinion :) 

This museum was like that, but the shop assistants weren't available :( I enjoyed exploring regardless! 

Tobacco shop

Michael exploring the apothecary- so cool, my favourite store :) 

A hardware shop. 

I really loved this museum. I am definitely going to go back when the people are in there to talk to. I have no idea why I find things like that so interesting but I do, and it just fascinates me. 

Lovely clock in the high street, just like in York too! 

After this we went to the royal green jackets museum (all about Michael's army regiment history) but I didn't take any photos?!? And then we had an incredible burger at o'neils that if 100% get again, best part is that it was one but one get one for £1 so it was a great deal too! 

The rain soaked us through and it was bitterly cold- I know, kinda contradictory but honestly true- and we went home for the day... TO MAKE ROLO BROWNIES. oh they were good, but we cheated. A brownie packet mix with rolos pushed in and covered. Mmm :)

Weekly Roundup #27

Another busy busy week! One of the societies I am a part of has a big training recruitment and the training is happening both weekends so there's been training for the trainers, training for the supervisors and training of the new trainees. Not to mention the normal reading, presentation making, literature review reading and typing, paid work, subwarden work AND the other society work. Tad full on right now but if I'm not doing something all the time now I get a little bored, so it's for the best :) I don't think I've told you yet but for lent I've given up chocolate, sweets, biscuits/cookies and cakes. It doesn't leave much I have to admit, but it's going well so far. I never thought chocolate would be so hard but it really really is. I've never broken lent before and I know I won't this year, but I wish I would, aha.

I'm really missing home and Michael at the moment. Michael and I are going to London next week which will be amazing, because I haven't seen him in far too long (not to mention I can properly let my hair down now my lit review draft is done, and London in general is amazing!). Whenever I speak to my sister and hear about my niece I get a little bit sad because it's always such wonderful stuff that I'm missing! But I will soon be home for a long time, and I will soak her up then :)

we had some absolutely lovely weather last week that I wish would return! 

I even wore skin coloured tights!

I did galaxy nails again this week

egg and bacon scramble = best way to spend a morning

 

My friend and I decided to have a sleep over the other evening and he brought his colouring pack and pencils, look at the creations I made! aha. I forgot how fun colouring is. 

MICHAEL BEING SO MEAN 

I can't help but buy the boy presents when I know how much he'll love them, I like his happy face.

and also the one that's shocked by how well I know him, that ones a good'un.

I think my boss and I are addicted to sushi. It's becoming such a habit.

and also this burger, bacon cheese and onion rings? what more could you want?!

My moma sent a package up today, so I think I might show you that tomorrow :) how's the start of your week been? Any big plans for the rest of it? I'm on duty tonight, so lets hope the students behave themselves!
