Lucky girl | teacups and tealights

Does everyone feel extra special on their birthday? I know for some people it goes by and they don't really want it to be noticed, but whenever anyone says 'Happy Birthday!' to me, be it someone I don't know very well or my closest friend, I get a snug warm feeling in my tummy.

Not only did many people at college wish me a happy birthday but one of my friends got me a lovely little birthday present! As all my friends know how much I adore London, my close friend Hannah got me a London themed notebook set, which is dinky enough to put in my handbag and jot down anything that comes to mind. I have been told many times that you should always carry a notebook. You can collect inspiration anywhere :)

Let loose in London: The Shard | teacups and tealights

If there is one thing that all my friends and family know about me, it's that London is one of my true loves. I can't get enough of that city. I go as often as I can which is usually once every few months. I have had some amazing opportunity's given to me involving visiting London, but mostly it's just a much needed visit with a friend of mine. Last weekend was one of those much needed visits. Last weekend I was staying with my cousins in Tunbridge Wells, and on the Saturday we got the train to London after booking tickets to go up The Shard. For someone who is head over heels for London, this is a big thing.
