A lovely drive in the countryside

Happy bank holiday weekend! I took a day off either side so that I can have an epic five day weekend so me and the bf headed to Nottinghamshire to see my family.

I love the drive between Manchester and Sheffield - it's so pretty. Since I'm the driver, I entrusted the camera to the bf.

The cow has no head! OMG!

I don't think he did a bad job at all!

We ended up at Meadowhall in Sheffield where we met up with my mum and grandma. 

My week 16

This week appeared to drag a bit didn't it? Just me? I blame the rain. 

*My awesome cloud nails.

*Axl doing the creep. If you don't know what the creep is then educate yourself. Nicki Minaj makes a cameo in it! 

*1960s shoe on my shoe calendar. Is it a heel or is it a wedge?

*The view on my train journey to Sheffield to see my family.

I had a lovely weekend. I saw my parents, brother and grandma on Saturday which was great as I hadn't seen my mum for a month and a half and my dad for about 3 months. Went to meadow hall but didn't really buy anything. But, I did get my early birthday presents. I got my dad's professional camera that he doesn't use and an iPad 1 (I love my family's hand me downs)! My brother also gave me his old bamboo tablet that he doesn't use so I can get my drawings onto my laptop. Don't even care that I won't have anything to open on my birthday which isn't until June. So excited. I is spoiled.

Today, I planned on hitting 5 car boots to get some vintage stock for my shop. I ended up going to 6 and only 3 of them were open because of all the rain. It's really hard to find a decent car boot in Manchester. Is it just me? I prefer the ones in the countryside like the one near my family home. I've only been there once but I got some amazing things. Particularly the brooches. A cameo, hot air balloon, bicycle and some army style wings. All of those sold straight away and I haven't been able to find a car boot that great since. Still, I got a few bits today. Take a look:

Sorry for the bad photos - I just got some quick snaps before I went to the bf's house. Not a bad haul anyway I think.

How has your week been?

My week 10

A much better week I'm glad to say.

*Went to Sheffield on Saturday to see my mum and do some shopping at Meadowhall. May have bought a couple of things including a certain blouse I blogged about the other day. 

*We went to Rice for lunch which was really fun. I've never been before and my mums always up for trying new food so we went. 

*I had the mongolian lamb with ginger, rice and veggies. Was very tasty!

*Axl stretching out across my bed. He's a grumpy man but can be very cuddly at times.

*My mum got to meet my baby (my Alexa).

*My outfit I wore (new shirt bought yesterday) to the cinema today to see Safe House. I rather liked it. Was a man film with shooting but also actually had a plot. 

*Rose giving me the "Who you taking photos, just pet me woman!" look.

I also booked my plans for next weekend for Claire's birthday. Looking forward to it - a mini road trip, a travelodge and paying to get scared in the woods (yes seriously!).

How was your week?
