Anti- Valentines Party

The 14th of February, you are here again! One of the most depressing days for any girl who is single or whose boyfriend is away, so this year we decided to host a little anti-valentines day party. Involving wine, chocolate, friends and most importantly NO BOYS! (Yes, I sound like my thirteen year old self again, not much changes in 10 years). 

SM and NO were in charge of putting together some delicious food, and let me tell you they did a fantastic job! We ate and we ate and we ate and it was wonderful! SM really is a whizz in the kitchen and she turned up with boxes laden with goodies, including mini lemon tarts, rich chocolate mousse and caramelised (yes, caramelised) walnut and stilton puffs. Luckily the dress code was pyjamas so elasticated waistbands were the name of the game, perfect for filling our selves with yummy food. 

Wine, fizz and G and T's were flowing, so merriment was well and truly the order of the day, along with JJ's valentines quiz and endless rounds of Heads Up! (Do you know Heads Up? if not, you should, it is pretty much the greatest game ever!) 

Can you imagine a better way to spend the day of love with a fantastic group of friends, laughing away and eating until you can't eat another bite?

Insta-moments

We all know that January and February are not that exciting as months of the year go. However, these are a few little moments that I have captured recently. 

Sadly studying has been the name of the game for the first few months of 2014, but nothing says positivity like creamy hot chocolate and bright trousers! 

Can you believe that this is my view? Nothing beats watching the sunset over this beauty 

Enjoying the falling leaves on a chilly walk across Green Park with my favourite people

Only the cutest flower shop in Paris!

Doggy walks with this little chap never fail to make me happy 

Road-trippin' to the North with AN for a weekend away and celebrations

Greeted with this incredible platter for cheese and wine evening with NO, SM and JJ. Cheese, wine and girly catch-ups make my heart sing and my jeans extra tight! 

A rainy lunch date

My current favourite snuggly jumper, love myself a good geeky literary reference

Yes, more studying, this time accessorised with a splash of spring-clolored nail varnish! 

Dancing with my favourite people for the annual dance show, going to miss these beauties! (Post to follow)

So rare these days to receive a heartfelt hand written letter, it really makes me happy

Cousin love is the best, especially when you accidentally buy matching gnome hats and then wear them to a dinner date....sorry not sorry!

January Round-up

Well January is over and I can't say that I will be at all sad to see the back of it! January is just known to be the most depressing month and for good reason, the miserable weather is doing nothing to lighten the mood, and speaking of light, that is about the opposite to how I felt post-Christmas gorge!

My January has been an absolute fun fest, filled with never-ending reading, crazy amounts of essaying and endless packing. 2014 brings big changes to the T household, with Mama T, Papa T and HT all moving to Singapore in only a few short weeks. I will be left representin' and holding down the fort in the UK for a while, or as I like to say.....when the parents are away, the BT will play!

January hasn't all been doom and gloom and actually started off rather nicely with a wonderful party to bring in the new year. The champagne was flowing, JM was dancing and I wore a big, sparkly gold necklace. Can you imagine anything more wonderful?.....I thought not!(I can only apologise for the quality of photos, my photo taking abilities were seriously impaired by the amount of alcohol consumed).

Family T were lucky enough to hit the slopes (maybe for the last time for a while) and we enjoyed the perfect blue skies, fresh powder snow and empty slopes. Of course there was a little time left for some apres-ski (HT) and some sipping of vin chaud in cafes (Mama T) as well as lots of merriment all round. 

Mood - So ready for February!
