The dotty difference

Don't let it slip away!

So, since my last post things have changed quite a lot for me, Dotty Dee! The main reason I have been missing from the blog world is that I have got a job (YEY) and I have moved to London (YEY?! thankfully I live with 3 of my best friends from Uni so it feels like home and not too scary).

Things got pretty busy from May 11th 2011 and I am now working for a small fashion company and no longer sitting at home worrying about my future, the truth is that at my age, and straight after graduating I am not sure if many people are certain where they want to go in life or what the want to do and even if they are, it is hard to get there straight away, but as long as you make a few little steps, something will happen and it will lead you down a different path.

Some days I worry its not the path I planned or where I see myself in a 5 years but I remind myself that all experiences are good and even when you feel like you are going backwards, you are not.

One day I will buy my shop and I'm sure you know what I will call it. 

The moto is - dont worry until you really REALLY need too. 

(I promise my next post will be far less philosophical!)

Peace out.

Drinking Shopping & Doing! at Drink Shop & Do!

So I have found my new favourite place and thought I would make it my first blog for 2011...
Drink Shop & Do!

                                                                             Here's Nat having a browse!

How very rude.

The drawer of dreams & wishes- with Nat's, Kate's and Mine added in

It's the cutest little hide-away, just around the corner from Kings Cross Station in London and its the perfect place to spend some time in the big city!
The little gem is a shop at the front selling cute homemade and vintage bits and bobs and it leads through to a mini cafe/bar selling snacks, sweets, cakes and alcohol! But the best bit is the Do section, each night there is a theme and you can sit and have a drink whilst knitting, doing dot to dot disco, playing with clay or generally getting creative! Oh and everything in there is for sale, even the chairs and table you perch on! They sell homemade stew and soup, tiny crustless sandwiches and cakes and bagged up sweets and if you order a large wine it arrives in a tumbler glass, full to the top and for only £5! YES!

I have been a few times over Christmas when visiting London and it was such a lovely place to snuggle up when its cold outside, so relaxed and friendly, with music playing and cushions and blankets to get cosy under. I went alone at one point and felt very happy reading in the corner under a glowing lamp. I can't tell you enough that you should go, its a lovely place to meet friends or go on a date or buy a little gift for someone, so go on - Drink Shop & Do!
