Sheffield Shenanigans

This weekend I went to Sheffield and stayed with one of my best friends from high school and sixth form. She's in her second year at Sheffield Hallam university and seeing as Lancaster is a heck of a lot closer to Sheffield than Aberystwyth this was the best opportunity I am going to get to go see her at university.

So many tickets!

Even though I had to leave super early in the morning (for a Saturday; I never tend to stick my head out from under my duvet before 11 am on the weekend just because I can), I was feeling good and excited,  enjoying the train journey...until I got on the wrong connection at Manchester Piccadilly and had to fork out for another train ticket. And then spent the rest of the journey freaking out about how much money I've spent recently.

Still, I got to Sheffield in one piece and wandered into town to meet my friend Bryony, glancing in a few shops on my way (all money worries now forgotten, naturally). I chose the risque option following the crowd from the train station in an attempt to find the centre of town in a cool, calm and collected fashion without running around like a crazy tourist. Luckily this gamble paid off and I found Bryony. Cue hugging - we hadn't seen each other properly in over a year.

New skirt ♥

We did loads on Saturday. Went for a stroll in the Peak District, made cupcakes, went shopping in all the cool charity shops and awesomely quirky shops on Eccleston Road. I bought a beautiful floral pencil skirt which I probably will hardly ever wear but was too pretty to leave behind when it was in the sale. Then we got in pyjamas, ate pizza out the box and watched the movie Love and Other Drugs in which both Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are equally gorgeous. And of course there was hours of gossiping and giggling and general girly behaviour which my life has definitely been deficient in lately. Sunday was less hectic with an amazing lie-in until 12 pm. Breakfast was cold pizza and cupcakes, which tasted of cake smothered in lard because we'd failed at making butter icing. I ate 4 cakes anyway. Then a quick tea and juice pit-stop at Bryony's friends' house before heading back to the station to get my train back to Lancaster. 

Walking in the Peak District

Wish it hadn't been over so quickly but it was a wonderful weekend. Hopefully won't be as long before I see that amazing girl again. Thanks for having me Bry!
