STARTING NOVEMBER IN STYLE.

This month kicked off with a trip to Oxford to visit my sister Asha along with another sister, Mia. The few days we were together for were really great and filled with long train journeys, exploring the city, country walks, keeping warm under blankets, a lot (but not too many) cookies and getting into the Christmas spirit! 

I am so grateful that this month has been and will be filled with family. Here are some photos of our time together.

THE PRETTIEST THATCHED COTTAGE.

AUTUMN, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVED THIS LITTLE POCKET OF COUNTRYSIDE.

EXPLORING THE COLLEGES.

AFTERNOON LIGHT.

MAKING CHRISTMAS DECORATION (WITH THE HELP OF YOUTUBE).

BONFIRE NIGHT! (UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT THE BONFIRE...BUT THE FIREWORKS WERE WORTH IT).

TASTY HOT CHOCOLATES, TIMED PERFECTLY TO WATCH 'THE HOLIDAY'.

HAVING A REST.

WE FOUND SOME FRIENDS! THEY WERE MORE INTERESTED IN THEIR FOOD THAN US.

DIRTY DANCING AT CAMP KATUR.

Last weekend my youngest sister came to Leeds to hang out. By chance my friend Kate suggested going to an outdoor screening of Dirty Dancing so of course that is how we spent our Saturday night- armed with snacks, blankets and a massive watermelon. We had the best time! This is something I've wanted to do in such a long time and it was worth the wait. It was so much fun to check out every else's costumes (I failed big time in that respect), have a dancing lesson, listen to some great music and then snuggle up and watch the film. 

Thanks for coming to stay Talitha. Definitely on the hunt for another outdoor screening soon!

TEEPEES FOR ANYONE STAYING THE NIGHT.

KATE AND FAYE GETTING INTO THE DANCING SPIRIT.

YES...WE TRIED THE LIFT. IT TOOK TWO PEOPLE AND NEEDS SOME WORK.

FREESTYLE.

ATTEMPTED SISTER PHOTO. THREE OUT OF FIVE. MISSED YOU MIA AND ASHA!

THE REMAINS OF THIS WATERMELON ARE STILL IN MY FRIDGE. IT'S HUGE TRUST ME.

 SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SETTING.

OF COURSE.

HERE WE GO!

DURING THE LAST SCENE BEARLY EVERYONE GOT UP TO JOIN IN, ACCOMPANIED BY A GIANT BEACH BALL AND A REINACTMENT OF THE DANCE BY SOME OF THE STAFF. BRILLIANT.

P.S. Lauren took some gorgeous photos, check them out

OXFORD.

Last weekend was spent in Oxford. A perfect mini road trip complete with a walk around the city, great food, a cheesy chick-flick and homemade hot chocolates in pjs. We planned to have a picnic, hoping the weather would be warm and sunny enough to sit out in the park and we were not disappointed! It nearly felt like summer and was an excellent first picnic of the year. I love spending time with these two, just missing my two other sisters!

This is a very quick film of our Saturday.
