Cosy breakfast

Castlefield Artisan Market

I spent a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon over at the Castlefield Artisan market today! I think I first read about it on Nadinoo's blog and was so glad I sought it out despite all the sludgy snow.

Top eats included a delicious pie from the award winning great north pie company, some blue stilton, and bread and cakes from of crust and crumbs. Entertainment came in the form of some great swing music and dancing from the cotton town hot club.

The market will be held on the first Sunday of each month alongside the canal near Dukes 92.

I also popped into topshop on my way home to see if I could find anything to spend my christmas vouchers on! I have been eyeing up this gogo philip necklace for a while and now it is all mine. mwah ha ha :)

Drink, shop & do

I had a wee trip to drink, shop, do yesterday to celebrate my friend Felicity's birthday! I have been wanting to visit ever since Felicity told us her cousin Coralie was going to open a cafe near Kings Cross Station. Drink shop do is just as lovely as I imagined - we had afternoon tea with some delicious cocktails - I was torn between which menu to choose as they do a man's afternoon tea of pork pie, scotch eggs and ales :) well the mini smoked salmon triangles and macaroons decided it for us. Everything in the cafe is for sale - they had a beautiful Narnia style wardrobe but how to get it back to Manchester with me on the train posed a small dilemma. They have recently opened drink shop dance in the basement (the old sex shop) which boasts a fantastic Gin bar - we will be returning to this place for sure.

Happy Birthday Felicity!
