I am back in my home town of London for work which is so exciting. Being in London is like meeting up with an old friend. One you haven't seen for so long you almost can't remember what it's like to hang out but once you meet up again it's like it's been no time at all. It's so wonderful to have so many places to go and explore, particularly all the lovely coffee shops we can visit.
Starting a new job is always a slightly stressful experience. I couldn't sleep the first few nights properly as we were also staying somewhere I hadn't stayed before. It takes me a little while to settle in anywhere new. I'm a week in now though and things are starting to feel more familiar.
I feel like I'm at a cross roads in my life and hope I'll use this time in England to try to figure out what I want next. There's a part of me that would love to live in London one day and I know that if I don't try to do this soon I wont be in a situation where it's easy to do it for much longer.
Last minute wedding preparations are being made as the wedding is this month. I can't believe it will be here soon! I just bought my last bridesmaids dress at the weekend. It was a lucky find as we only had one day to get it before the bridesmaid jetted off to America for another friends wedding. I had quite specific criteria for the dress (vintage, short, gold. 40's/50's era) and was lucky to find the perfect thing in a size that fitted. Things are coming together quickly luckily as I also had to find shoes for myself and finally managed to find the perfect gold sparkly pair in Dune (in case you hadn't noticed gold is in the colour scheme!). So now as things become hectic and tiring with work I'm glad that I've only got a couple of things to do. One of them being the last flower crown for the bridesmaids to make. I'm enjoying the preparations now that the actual day is in sight. I don't like to drag things out over a really long period of time!
When we went bridesmaid dress shopping we stopped at a nice cafe on Brick Lane and the cakes there looked amazing! My fiancé ordered the Banana and Butterscotch cake which I had a taste of, it really was delicious. The cafe was called Kahaila and I would recommend checking it out if you're around the area.
I hope you enjoyed this little catch up. I don't really have a lot of time to blog at the moment but I'd like to try to keep this little blog as up to date as I can manage anyway!
Till next time
