Biscuit Blues

With great regret, I realised the other day that I had not consumed a single Gingerbread biscuit over Christmas, and, being a huge Gingerbread lover myself, this was one huge crime. Along with the freezing temperatures and looming days before mock exams, its fair to say I've been having major Christmas blues this week. How could I not miss this beautiful cabin I stayed in over the Christmas period?!


My whole Christmas was perfect, snuggling up watching films by the log burner or jumping in the hot tub for a refreshing hour or two in the morning. I'd do anything to be back there again rather than facing the January doom. So tonight- my only free moment since I realised I had to eat some gingerbread biscuits ASAP- I set to and made some cute lil' gingerbread men to settle in front of the fire and look back on all the Christmas photos. I've promised myself that I'll finally get round to the January exercise and healthy eating regime on Monday, but whether I mean this upcoming Monday or not I really don't know yet...



So, if you're experiencing some Christmas blues like me too, why don't you embrace your inner Mary Berry (or Paul Hollywood if you like) and make some of your own gingerbread biscuits: a Christmas must have.

MY WONDER OF THE WORLD Our trip to Canada involved one day visiting Niagara Falls! When I found out I was coming to New York for my study abroad year, I realised it was only a 4-5 hour drive from Niagara Falls, and so I told myself I really had to go. We tried and planned a trip to go last semester, but for one reason or another it never happened- and I'm actually quite glad it didn't because we were planning to go to the American side, and I'm so glad we went to the Canadian!! We planned this trip when we got back in January and it gave me something to look forward to, and it was an amazing day. Now, I was 100% convinced Niagara Falls was one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and after an intensive google, I've had to accept it isn't - I got very excited when I thought I had finally been to one of the seven. However, I think it definitely should be on that list (have you seen it by the way? It's actually a very random list in my opini

Spring Break in Montréal

BONJOUR MONTRÉAL! Last week was Spring Break, and I went to Montréal!!!! Montréal was another place I had always thought of visiting when I found out I was studying in New York. It was actually one of the places I selected as an option to study abroad, and the whole French region thing really interested me - although it was soooo much more French than I had expected!!! My friend drove us both to Montréal, where we stayed for 2 nights; which was definitely enough time to see the city!!
