It was my best friend's birthday this weekend and as she lives in London, my partner and i headed off to visit her. For her birthday i bought her a memory box and a purple journal with a purple ribbon so that she can carry it with her and write down things that inspire her (she has always loved to write and is currently working her way through a writing course where she regularly achieve's 100%).

It was an amazing day, she had found a little cafe in Crouch End where you are served hot chocotale in bowls the size of big tea cups, your food is served on mis-matched china plates and you get bread served in a small flower pot. It was fantastic and we were like little kids in a toy shop. Talking of toy shops, we then went to Hamleys, a place i have never been to, it was manic, and there were so many toys to see, i even got squirted with a water pistol by one of the assistants! We then went to Carnaby Street, for a place that is so famous it has a really chilled out feel to it. We had a potter around the shops, but then headed for a diner to get milkshakes (which turned into milkshakes, burgers and fries!). We then headed over to Green Park, the weather had been so good, that it would have been a shame to waste an opportunity to walk around the park, and look at Buckingham Palace.

We got back to my friend's place at around 10.30 (did i say she lives in a turret?!), so headed straight off as we knew it would take a while to get home, then on the way home we saw lights in the sky that were unexplainable, could there really be aliens watching us?
