Brunch and Tea Out

 On the 12th of December I went out... twice! First of all I had brunch plans with my friend Sarah. We went to a garden centre near where Sarah lives. She was there in the cafe when I got there drinking an iced coffee, so I got one too even though it was cold! I went for poached eggs and avocado on toast with a side portion of hash brown, which was lovely. We then had breakfast pudding - red velvet cake for me. By the time we'd done it was about 12.30 so I came home. 

I had been wearing this stripy dress which I got secondhand on Facebook off someone. I absolutely love it. It's really more of a summer dress but I wanted to wear it, and with a pair of tights underneath and a hoodie on to go in the car, I was absolutely fine. I really like it and think I will wear it a lot in 2025. Sarah liked it too! 

I think I worked in the afternoon - I had many clients to sort out before Christmas - and then about 7pm Lee and I went to pick up my mum and Norman to go out for Norman's birthday. I had suggested going to Kashmiri Aroma in Horbury as I had been the week before with my friend Katie and I had got a loyalty card which offered 15% off the bill. Everyone had agreed so we headed there. 

And everyone really liked it! My mum and stepdad said it was the best curry they had had in ages. I had samosa chaat to start with and then a vegetable curry. We had a bunch of sides, too, including the chips, which are immense, and roti. I have never had roti like it - they were delicious. I only ate one so I had enough leftovers to bring home to eat the next day. 

I was wearing this fancy dress that I had totally forgotten about and pulled out. It's a proper Christmas/party dress I think. It's red under the black sheer top, and I really like it. I was wearing fancy tights with a gold pattern on too. I got these from Chloe absolutely ages ago but only just pulled them out to wear them. I loved them! 

Ah, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas, too. The day before I had been out with my craft club and had passed the flower shop in our village and noticed these lovely wreaths outside. I got Lee to go and buy one - it was only £16.50 which was a bargain I thought. And it looked lovely on the door!

Brunch! It was delicious

And red velvet cake, which we drank with another coffee

Here's Sarah and I. We swapped Christmas presents too

Here's the stripy dress! I love it so much! I paid about ten quid for it I think

Here's my chaat, which was lovely. I didn't get a photo of my main, but it wasn't that interesting to look at, to be fair

And here I am in this gorgeous red and black dress to go out in
