Afternoon Tea

For lunch today, my Nan, my Mum and I decided to go for an Afternoon Tea in an independent cafe called Archie Hardwicks in Boston, Lincolnshire. 

For £7.99 each, we received a huge pot of tea - we got about three cups each out of it. We got a cake stand of sandwiches (egg mayo, cheese and pickle and ham salad) and some crisps. We also were given another cake stand, where we each got one scone with jam and cream, and a huge SLAB of Victoria Sponge. 

It was nice to just chat and relax and pig out! I'm going back to university in a fortnight so it was nice for the three of us to get together. I've been working so hard to lose weight (I've lost 6 pounds so far this summer) but it was nice to have a bit of treat. The food was absolutely amazing! Afternoon tea is one of my favourite things and we really did have such a lovely day.

Don't worry - I'm going running shortly and swimming later on this evening, so hopefully that will burn some of this off!

What is your favourite thing about an afternoon tea? Have you been up to anything exciting today? As always, I love reading your comments

White Vans Authentic Lo Pro Trainers

This morning I went to collect my new Vans from the post office.

I wanted some new trainers for my mini mid-week getaway on Wednesday. I'm going down to Norfolk so we can spend the day with family who have just purchased a boat on the Norfolk broads. As I'll be hopping on and off boats and walking around the broads, I wanted some comfy shoes that weren't going to fly off into the water! Also, one of my jobs entails helping on University Open Days from 8-6, and I'm constantly running around, so they will come in handy for that!

I find it difficult buying trainers that I like, because I feel so masculine in them. My feet are quite big for my height (5 ft 6) and considering I'm a girl (Size 8) and I just feel like my feet look huge in trainers.

I'm really pleased with my purchase! I don't feel like my feet look AS big, and they are so comfy! They are ten times more comfortable than my black converse, and they fit in with my white obsession I've been having lately. 

I got these on eBay brand new for £32.00 including postage, which is a lot cheaper than Office or Schuh, even with student discount!
