OCTOBER 

This is my October in photo form. Wanna know more? Then here ya go... 

THE STORIES 

1. I bought my mum tickets to see Miss Saigon for her birthday! It was an incredible show, I highly recommend you all go see it. 

2. Also the theatre we were at had a bar with a balcony, so we spent an hour before the show sitting out there looking at the street below. 

3. I went to Bath City Farm with my bestie Amber. This guy was there too. 

4. Amber, featuring something that was definitely a fairy portal. 

5. Games evening with my housemate. We played Bananagrams (excellent game) and I managed to spell beer, pub and sip, all in the space of about 30 seconds... 

6. Breakfast at a London pub for my dad's birthday. This table is my aesthetic. 

7. A bit later on that day we went up the Shard! The view from up there is incredible <3

8. Also to celebrate my Dad's 50th, we took him to 5 different fine dining restaurants. I've not put a photo from all the places we went because that would take up all the space. This was at The Waterside though and oh my god look at this soufflé. 

9. This is another dinner for his birthday, this time at The Dorchester. This dessert was insanely delicious. 

10. Did you know that under the breakfast club restaurant in shoreditch there is a secret bar? Yeah. It's called The Mayor of Scardey Cat Town and it's hella cool. These were some cocktails we had there.
11. The sign pointing down to the bar! You go through the fridge to get to it and come out through the toilets. Amazing.
12. Looking fly before dinner the other day.
13. Blackwells <3 oh my god. This bookshop. It's so rad.
14. Travelling again.
15. Switzerland has pumpkins that are bIGGER THAN ME.
16. This was my view as I woke up on the first day in Switzerland. Could be worse.
17. Autumn overload.
18. Me by Lake Geneva, Montreax. Switzerland you're so pretty <3

TO NOVEMBER
I love November, it's my birthday month, it's cold, it's dark and it has Bonfire Night too, so I am very much enjoying this month so far and since today is my birthday (turning 20 yo!) it can only can better.

How was your October? Let me know in the comments!

HAPPY NOVEMBER!

A Day At The Zoo

HEY
I went to Marwell Zoo with my family a few days ago, and I had such a rad day! And so this is going to be a photo heavy post because let's be honest here, cute animals are better than a load of writing!

ANIMALLLLS

To the zoooo! (Featuring the sun making me squint)

We made it look like the giraffe was eating my head, because why not.

Hippos and hipsters

My sister took this one, but I couldn't not include it, because it's so cute!

Lunchtime selfies

AND THAT'S IT
And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this post, I guess it's a little different for me considering there is so little writing, but I'm making up for it with the cutest animals you ever did see.

In the comments below tell me what your favourite animal is! :)

Thanks for reading, I hope you're having a fab day, speak to you next week ^-^

3. Getting all my cruelty free make up together for a blog post! 

4. Early morning coffee and cake at the farm shop with a friend. 

5. I know I post quite a lot of food photos on here, but this is a vegetable curry I made and it was too delicious to not share. 

6. Weird photo, I know. I was at a poetry reading and I didn't want to take a proper photo because it was dark and I didn't know anyone and anxiety and ugh. So this the best I could do. You can't even see the poets... 

7. Solar eclipse! 

8. I met MARY BERRY. ahhhhhhhh

9. Foo fighters tickets arrived. Even more ahhhhhhhhhhhh

10. It was a friends 30th birthday and this was the afternoon tea his parents made. It was so lovely and felt a little bit posh because they had fancy china out! 

11. A very colourful garden centre! We went there for lunch and a cheeky slice of cake after testing out the bus route for our new house next year! 

12. This little cutie had a bit of a detour and ended up outside my uni halls instead of by the lake. 

13. Honeycomb cheesecake at prezzo. A few friends and I were there to celebrate it being the end of term! 

14. My sister and I a little bit later on. 

15. I made caramelised onion and courgette tarts and they were deliciousssss! 

16. Cooking and watering my plant, Jean Reno.

17. Coffee and cake with my mum. 

18. My sister made poached eggs and I ended up with a lovely lunch that made me feel like I was back in Melbourne again!

Six Selfie Sunday

There's this thing going round Tumblr called the 'Six Selfie Challenge' and I was tagged to do it by two lovely people (see below for links to them). I really liked this idea because selfies are wonderful and so is storytelling. Therefore I decided to bring the challenge onto my blog because why not! 

1) This photo was taken at the Greek cookery night in Topping and Company, a bookshop, in Bath. We had gone to Bath for a weekend away and my was shocked to find out that my camera had a front facing camera, hence the ridiculous selfie.

2) I took this after I had been filming a youtube video because I liked my hair and makeup that day. And yes, that is a teepee in my bedroom. 

3) I was trying to take a selfie here, but accidentally took a ton of photos because I didn’t realise I was holding down the button. The selfie didn’t work out but I like this collection of accidents regardless. 

4) This isn’t actually a selfie, but I’m including it because I can. This is my favourite photo ever. It was taken whilst on a trip down the Great Ocean Road. We pulled into this little stop that was just a couple of trees and a tiny shop. But in the trees were hundreds of these birds (and a few koalas). These rosella birds would land on your hands to eat the food we were given and one even landed on my shoulder. Amazing.

5) This photo was taken a little while after photo 4. We were on the bus that was taking us down the Great Ocean Road and we decided to snap a selfie because why not. I was also covered in chocolate crumbs from the Twirl I had just eaten - classy.

6) This was taken before going out for a few drinks. I really liked my hair, makeup and outfit so decided to take a selfie. But due to my stunning lack of ability to take a good selfie this is the first time this has ever graced the internet. Check out that shampoo in the background though, crazzzzy!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you decide to do this too I'd love to see your selfie stories! Tweet them to me if you, @thegiddyelf :) 

I was tagged to do this by @justh0lly and @city-of-spooks on tumblr so go follow them, they're amazing - http://justh0lly.tumblr.com and http://city-of-spooks.tumblr.com

Have a great day. 

Byeeee!
