As most of you know, I'm studying my third year at the moment doing fashion design and I'm trying my hardest not to panic about the mountain of work i have! staying stress free... or trying!

Working on my 1st design for my Final Major Project...



I then came back after Manufacturing to this... 


Books and research for Dissertation!!!
Kill me now, please!?

Feeling very Inspired

Right now im supposed to be studying but i couldn't miss this opportunity to write a blog as I'm feeling quite inspired by the horrible cold weather... isn't that crazy?




Yesterday, i wasn't feeling very good and decided to go out for a walk to get some fresh air near Holmfirth and we went for a lovely walk at Digley reservoir. Although the weather let us down with rain and fog, there was still some lovely scenery! As i walked around, i was surrounded by all these lovely autumn colours, which i love! There's just something so cosy about this time of year...


One of my favourite things is being cosy, going out in boots and oversized jumpers and cute little woolly hats! But i also love coming home and putting on some fluffy socks, a cosy jumper and sitting by the fire. My dad has an original coal fire and it's beautiful, it throws out so much heat.

When it gets to this time of year i find myself drinking a lot of hot chocolate, which marshmallows and cream! Mmm Mmm Mmm. Snuggling up in a blanket watching a film in bed or on the sofa, along with a fluffy hot water bottle, whilst its raining and cold outside! it sounds luxury! Not forgetting the bar of chocolate of course! ;-) (i love comfort food!) and maybe a lovely scented candle!

What's your favourite thing about Autumn?

The Spiced Pear - Hepworth

Recently, it was my dad’s birthday. Where we went for a lovely stroll along with my brothers, nephew and the dogs some where near the peak district in which we saw some incredible sights. Anyhow, after the walk we got a bit peckish  and driving around without directions we came across this little lovely restaurant called ‘The Spiced Pear’

We had no idea what kind of place this was, but I loved it before I’d even walked through the door! Walking down from the car park, it felt as though I was walking down a secret path with fairy lights and beautiful greenery!




As I walked through the doors, feeling out of place in my walking boots, straight away I knew this was going to be ‘posh’ as I walked into a cocktail bar but continuing through to another room, I walked into a tea room and fell in love straight away. Greeted by a big smile and a warm welcome we all sat down at a table. Looking around, I saw tea cups and teapots everywhere! I almost felt like I was in an Alice in wonderland film, but it was so cosy with a fireplace and book shelves at the far end of the room. I was really impressed.
(This is my lush hot chocolate, my dad and brother along with the cutest pot of tomato ketchup!)

With it being early on in the day and being typically English, we all chose to have a cooked breakfast! And I chose to have a hot chocolate! WOW! I have never seen anyone put so much effort into a drink! I had it topped with cream, hundreds of marshmallows which were then caramelised with chocolate sprinkle, well… I was beyond impressed! (I keep trying to do it at home ever since but I just don’t have that magic touch!)

Along came our breakfast and I have never tasted anything so good!!! You could tell straight away that ‘The Spiced Pear’ only believe in FRESH food, Fresh is an understatement, it tasted so good!! I didn't want to leave. 

I could happily go on and on!

But please take a moment to go on their website and have a look at their menu’s and the images and their Facebook page, some of the images are incredible! 



I will be definitely going back!
