My May Day Bank Holiday
I've
been really interested in trying a diary style post for a couple of
weeks now. The first one I wrote never made it out of my drafts but I
thought I'd try again and write about my May Day bank holiday weekend.
Let me know what you guys thing yeah?
I finished at 4
on Friday and although that should have been a good thing, it
was a bit of a pain because Andrew didn't finish until 5.45. I was
pretty exhausted but I decided to make the most of my spare time and go
to the gym, on my own for the first time ever - I'm still a gym newbie
remember. We go to one locally so I got on the tube back to Essex and
went straight there from work. I took my new Ivy Park shorts for a spin
and actually got loads more done on my own and felt so awake by the end
of it that I decided to get back on the train and meet Andrew for
cocktails!
We went to Searcys at Westfield because it's not too far into town, the prices are really good and so are the drinks! It's such an easy place to spend the evening and it means we have a huge choice for dinner afterwards. We picked YO Sushi. Obvs but I was a bit drunk to think about taken any photos before I stuffed it in my mouth.

The next morning, we were up bright and early! After
spending a whole year saying that we dont want to get
on the train again at the weekend, we decided that, that was the wrong
way to look at things and going into London at the weekend to do
something fun rather than work was a good idea.
So on
Saturday morning we jumped on the train to Oxford
Circus for breakfast! I'd been to The Riding House Cafe for a meeting a couple of
weeks back and it was absolutely delicious. So I was super excited to take Andrew there. I
ordered near enough the same thing as last time but with a different
smoothie. I loved how they arrive in cute little old school
milk bottles so I definitely wanted another one of those - this time I went for Racer,
chocolate and banana, my favourite smoothie combo - hold the espresso.
Now as for the food, rather
than just the usual avotoast and poached eggs that you know very well, I
love, I had avocado benedict which is a dish I search for
everywhere and rarely find, so when I did find it, I ordered it large. And stepped it up another notch with
feta. It was honestly delicious and my favourite
breakfast dish so far.
After
breakfast we went for a little walk down to Oxford Street but soon
regretted that - London is a nightmare when you dont know how to dodge tourists but I do, so we retreated back up to the empty back streets - it was absolutely empty
and a pleasure to wander down to Selfridges.
We somehow then ended up drinking champagne in the sun on their rooftop before deciding that, actually, we don't like the trains and getting an uber home.

After a little nap, Saturday
night was spent on the sofa with a big duvet and all of Tesco's (think chocolate crispy bites, mango juice, and a 2 liter tub of mint choc chip) stuffing our
faces some more whilst watching Britians got talent and catching up on
first dates. It was pretty chilled.
On Sunday morning I went home and just relaxed with Molly because on Monday, I'd planned a long awaited trip to Lakeside with my Mum and as usual, that meant leaving at 9 and doing Primark before anyone else arrives! We bought alot, and we ate alot and it was a great day! I think I'll leave what I bought for some upcoming outfit posts!
Love these kind of posts, I was thinking of doing a similar one but mainly photos. Like a IG snapshot of my weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely day.

Sounds like a lovely BH weekend! Molly is adorable too, by the way! I'm not sure I would've braved central London at the weekend (particularly a long weekend), but sounds like you had a lovely time. I'm a London newb really but do tend to try and take the sidestreets where possible as cut throughs to avoid the busier roads! x
