Lifestyle | My Birthday Weekend | Part 2

By Birthday festivities continued over this weekend;

On Friday, after returning from Edinburgh, we had a Flat party and went out!! I go some amazing gifts from my friends, including a 'dirty' french phrase book to use in Montreal and a Retro Olympic passport  holder!! I found out on Friday that i had passed all my Exam with Merit and I would be Canada bound by late August!!! 

I had an amazing party, the highlight being the Birthday cake that two of my friends made for me!!! Lemon drizzle cake with butter lemon icing in the shape of a lipstick... and it has already been demolished!!!

After My party we headed to our usual favourite Friday night haunt.. Propaganda at ABC and danced the night away! Didn't stay out too late as the next morning i was getting a 7.40am train up to Aberdeen to spend some time with friends and my mother.

"BFF"

Back home in Aberdeen all my old school friends came round for dinner, drinks and a gossip!! we had a lovely evening and i got spoiled with lots of bottles of bubble, and one tube of blowing bubbles as i wasn't drinking that weekend!! It was so good to see my friends from up north as I don't get to go home as much as I would like to!!! 

On Sunday my Mother took me out Shopping to get my Birthday present! She treated me to a Kindle Touch!! i had been wanting one before I go away as I don't think I will have room in my suitcase when traveling next year!! I thought i would jump (even if a bit late) onto the game of thrones band wagon and have started reading the first book on my new toy!! 

Before I headed back to Glasgow mum treated me to a meal at one of my favourite restaurants Giraffe.!! I LOVE this restaurant, there is so much food for vegetarians like myself and the staff and atmosphere (as well as the cocktails) are great!! Unfortunately there is only one Giraffe in Scotland and that is the one in Union Square in Aberdeen... the next nearest one is in Manchester (I have even been to that one two!!)

All in all turning 22 was not half as scary as I thought and thanks to all my friends and family I had such a lovely time!!!

Thats all for now

Lifestyle | My Birthday Weekend | Part1

Hello everybody!!!

Its My Birthday (well... was my birthday!!)

On the 14th I turned the ripe old age of 22!! It feels like yesterday i was 21- where did my year go!?!

With friends and family all over Scotland I have been rather busy traveling and being spoiled by everybody!

First Stop Edinburgh!!!

When I heard that the Olympic Torch was going to be in Edinburgh on My birthday I quickly harangued my sister into coming with me. However we found out the torch was going to be leaving edinburgh first thing (6.30am) on my birthday so decided to go see it the evening before instead!

My journey began with a "smashing" start when leaving Glasgow bus station, my bus to edinburgh was involved in a accident when another bus in the station backed straight into it smashing all the windows down one side of the bus!! Thankfully nobody got hurt and after a long time spent waiting, we were finally on our way again on a shiny new bus!!

The Weather was lovely in the Capital and while waiting for my sister to finish work so we could go see the flame i sat and enjoyed a coffee with a rather spectacular view of the castle!!

The morning after (my actual birthday) my sister spoiled me rotten and we went shopping, ate out and bought the most delicious yummy french macaroons from a cute little cake shop just on Hanover st. Everything looked amazing your mouth watered just looking in at their window!! They currently don't have a store in Glasgow but if you live in Aberdeen, Edinburgh or St.Andrews I would recommend going in for some treats!!

After a hard day of shopping we were both pretty beat so spent a lazy evening in eating junk food and watching TV (This is a big treat for me as i don't have a TV back in my flat in Glasgow!!)

Next Morning I had an early morning bus back to Glasgow and safe to say the promised rain drenched The whole city... lucky for me i was safe warm and dry on the bus home!!

Typical 'Scottish' Summer weather :p

I Have done a 'Birthday Haul' Video on my YouTube Channel so you can check it out,

 but for now I have to get back to my Birthday celebrations!! :) 

Thanks all for now
