After a bit of a mixed week last week, yesterday I decided to take myself out of this room and do something other than just have a wander around Leeds city centre, so I took a little journey out to Harrogate for the afternoon.
I've never been and it's one of those nice little famous towns that everyone always says I should go and visit whilst i'm so nearby, so I jumped on a train and seized the first afternoon it hadn't rained in days. I actually really enjoyed getting on a train to somewhere different. It was nice to get out in the countryside and see a few farms and fields on the way!
Stupidly I forgot my camera which is a shame because everything looked really pretty in the sunshine. Its not even as if I could use my phone camera because its a Blackberry - which is like the opposite of using Instagram, rather than taking normal photos and purposely look a bit artistically ruined, it takes rubbish photos and makes no attempt to make them look any less shit. So heres a few photos from Google of Harrogate. God i'm so good at this designer/photographer lark...
I didn't do anything very adventurous in my adventure. In fact all I really did was have a wander up and down all the streets and along the outskirts of the park. Then I went and sat in a Starbucks and had the same latte in the same kind of seat and the same interior decor as in any other Starbucks in the country. But it was nice to seem some of the fancy little shops and buildings. I did go and glance at the famous Betty's tea rooms windows at all the gorgeous little cupcakes and macaroons, but I decided it wasn't really the kind of place you treat yourself to when your out for the afternoon alone. There's sad, and then there's sad.
Then in the evenings I've been getting obsessed all over again with Mad Men. I'm very late on the bandwagon with this, I think it might have even finished filming seasons now? But i've only just hit half way through the second series and I genuinely love it.
I'm obsessed with all the fancy professional men's lifestyle and their passionate affairs with either powerful rich women or their office secretaries. The whole late 50's/early 60's era is fascinating. I so wish we were still in it, I love the style and the way of life. I wish it was still acceptable for most of their fashions and to still aspire to be a kept house wife looking after homes and children when the men go and do business in amazing suits.
And thats it for the update for now. My dad's just read me out a tip over the phone from an M&S DIY book about how to get blu-tac stains off your walls, (it's to dab a bit of toothpaste over it and it'll dry and come off with it apparently! Top Tip!) so i'm off to literally cover my walls in toothpaste.
Lots of beautiful love,
