"These are a few of my favourite things": Friday to Sunday

Good morning - what an early start I have had today. I am already sitting down on a wee break to write this to you!

I had some lovely feedback about my blog since I have started writing and would love to hear more. Something I have been thinking about recently is asking my lovely readers to get involved!! When I post a movie/song/product/app do you like them? Have you got any recommendations for me? Do let me know!

Currently I am sitting in my home office in my cosy clothes and drinking possibly the best cup of tea I have had in about a week! I am very pleased about this. It is one of those cups of teas that requires a “Ahhh” after every mouthful and I am practically gulping it down!

As Christmas draws near it becomes increasingly difficult for me not to do a Christmas Section every day! But I have managed it!

“The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”

I have been really trying not to slip into my old habit of re-reading the whole harry potter saga again. I am such a potterhead that I usually read it once or twice a year... So I have quelled my thirst for it today by listening to the film sound track and reading the final “19 Year Later” chapter which without fail ALWAYS makes me cry!

Movie:

It could just be me however I am far to excited about some films that are due to come out in the next months/year.

Today I am going to watch the easily anticipated HOBBIT!

Look incredible. I am sadly not able to say that I have read the book, I am really really struggled with LOTR so didn’t try with this. But having spoken to quite a few people they say that reading the book is not essential to watching the film in this case *Contraversial* I know!

Here are some future releases that look amazing too.... Just a couple of films that I will without a doubt going to see in the cinema!

Life of Pi

The Impossible

The Lone Ranger

The Man with Iron Fists

Quite a few - really going to have invest in a cinema points card!

App:

Frametastic!

Such a cute little app for making frames for your photo’s it is really simply and not many gadgets and colours etc. However it does what you need to create images like these...

These are all on my instagram, @cat_gh

Weekend Destination:

I have little planed this weekend as I am working tomorrow at a Christmas Party which will to be fair A LOT of fun!

But if I wasn’t working I would be making the most of restaurants having Christmas Specials, and making homemade mulled wine.

Or indulging in a romantic weekend break. Here are my favourite destinations.

Stockholm:

So Romantic!

Stay: Raddison Blu Waterfront Hotel at only £83 per night its very good value.

Eat: At Pelikan for traditional Swedish food!

Walk: Go to Skasen the zoo and see some gorgeous animal. Historical as well.
Night: Go into the city centre with some ice skates (which can usualy be borrowed from the hotel) and skate on the free rinks.

Kent: Equally Picturesque
Stay: The Ravenswood, Sharpethorne it’s a bit pricey at £135+ but worth it for the amazing service and location.
Eat: The Crow and Gate, Crowborough for open fires, english pub food, and cute artwork.
Walk: Anywhere. The Ashdown forest is on the door step. Visit 100 Acre Wood and Pooh Bridge.
Night: Visit the local town of Tunbridge Wells stay in the Pantiles area and enjoy jazz, modern music and good tapas.

Favorite Fancy:

Today’s favourite fancy is a clothing item. Due to the wet weather today I am overly aware of the fact that I do not own a coat with a hood. This is a massive issue seeing as I need to walk to town today and actually do stuff!

So here are 2 coats which would be on the top of my list today catering for high and low budgets.
