Weekend in Norfolk

Last weekend I came away from the city, after spending two weeks interning at British Airways' High Life magazine. It was ultra exciting to see what went on behind the scenes of the magazine I read when I flew from home to Glasgow for university, and excited I managed to spend some time there. What also was a dream, was where the office was situated. It was right by Covent Garden, and only minutes from the Thames, making every lunch break different each day.

After leaving London on Saturday to catch the train, I met my uncle at North Walsham and we went into Cromer for the afternoon. I tried my hand at crab fishing (failing miserably), walked up the pier, and then settled with a cornflake cake and strawberry milkshake as we spoke about what we had been up to.

Leading on from that, we went back to his beautiful cottage situated by the North Sea and took his dear Cavalier King Charles named Poppy along the coastal walk.

The longest beach in forever, where we went for a walk in Bacton.

It was a really lovely day and the sun was shining on us, as we went to go and my aunt and sister in Norwich for dinner. We settled in a restaurant called Coast to Coast, where I had a full rack of ribs! It had an american diner feel to it.

Me, my uncle and sister.

The next day we were taken into Norwich, where we had a wonder round the city. It was a vibrant and buzzing place, somewhere I would definitely return to, and the Old Town was so picturesque!

Cobbled streets

It was a lovely weekend and I'm looking forward to returning soon! 

Have you been up to anything recently?

French Travels, Marseille #2

Hey Bloggers, 

We're halfway through the week and I thought I'd share with you what I have been up to in France. On our few days in Marseille, I took a boat trip to Les Calanques, a place that is coated with beauty and mystery as the boat takes you through the caves and to the mini rivers, leading from the sea. However, on this day we went, it was not to be the case as the sea was rough, and by the end of the trip I felt extremely sea sick! :(

The Les Calanques on a bad day, the water should have been crystal blue!

On our way back we passed Castle D'If, it is most famous in the novel, The Count of Monte Cristo.

However, after this, we managed to see a lot in Marseille, the photos I took below summed up my time here!

The view of Marseille from the Cathedral de la Gare.

The doors to the main Cathedral, down here where this photo was taken was the Crypt.

The beautiful embellishment inside the Cathedral.

This was the fort of St John.                  

The view from the fort, before heading into the adjoined Mucem.

Mecum garden, where you could stop for lunch!

Backstreets of Marseille.

Marseille has been lovely and it has been interesting comparing the cities between each other when we have moved on to other destinations. 

Is there a city you've enjoyed spending time in?

A seaside view...

I thought I just had to share this beautiful view I was sitting by, when I had my lunch, yesterday at work.

When I'm home from univeristy, I work as a box office clerk at the Cliffs Pavilion, in Westcliff. We have all sorts of acts and performances come to the theatre. With a range of comedians, psychics and musicals! 

It's definitely a view to admire.
