Up north...

I've been stuck in London for two days now because every train, coach and flight to Brussels has been cancelled. I've literally spent the entire weekend queuing, dragging around my suitcase from Shoreditch to King's Cross to Victoria and back. Fingers crossed it won't snow tomorrow!

I thought this would be the perfect time to share with you a few lazy outfits, as well as some of the pictures I took when I was up north at my friend Laura's home for a week. It was frighteningly cold, but I had a smashing time. On Monday, we went to see Russell Howard on his tour. Tuesday was spent in York (more on this later), which is now officially one of my favourite English cities. On Wednesday, we went to Durham. As we were seeing Jon Richardson at the Live Theatre on Thursday, we spent the rest of the day in Newcastle, finding some absolute bargains. The last day was spent in Northallerton, where we spent most of our time hiding from the snow in Lewis and Cooper's, a massive gourmet food shop, where we tried some chutneys, admired the expensive rose wines, and bought an amazing cake recipe book.

Most of my pictures are from York, as I've fallen in love with its quaint little streets and the delightful variety of shops. Plus, everyone should visit Betty's Tea Rooms, because the afternoon tea is sublime!
