Going To The Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

 

A few weeks ago I went to Edinburgh Zoo for the first time. I'm not usually a huge fan of zoos, but this one really is lovely. The newly redone penguin area is brilliant, and we were lucky enough to see some of the brand new tiny baby penguins too. We were also very excited to see the pandas. As you can see from my photos, the male, Yang Guang, was asleep (typical!) but the female, Tian Tian, was roaming about the enclosure, kindly entertaining us by taking a dip in the pool right next to the viewing area. Of course there are lots of other animals at the zoo too: I was just most enchanted by the penguins and the pandas!

 

Edinburgh Zoo is definitely worth a visit, and hopefully pretty soon there will be a baby panda to visit too: what could be more adorable?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Evening Wanderings

All it takes is one quick push... Cardigan from New Look, top from Topshop, boots from Schuh, earrings from Accessorize

Last night me and my boyfriend went for a wander before dinner. The weather was perfect for it: that lovely autumnal coldness with a chill in the air and a brisk wind. I wore my favourite new cardigan, part of my birthday present from my mum (thanks mum!), which is all warm and cosy. I wanted to take some photos at the playground near our house because I think it would make for some good ones, but there are always children there! Surely they should be in bed in the evening?! We managed to get a couple taken, but then I got too embarrassed to take any more!

Playing Dress Up Part 2

The photos in the last post and this post were taken in my (shared with another couple: that's why it's not decorated!) sitting room when Rebecca was over for an interview last week. She bought her penguin family with her to leave at my house because she is moving over to Edinburgh this week (yay!), and I decided to pose with them... while she posed with a random drum. As you do. I love the velvety dress that I am wearing, but it is rather tricky to walk in: I had to take teeny tiny footsteps!

Playing Dress Up Part 1

Taking these photos was quite amusing... there were lots of people outside at the crossroads which is right beside my house, and some of them definitely noticed us posing... And clambering in and out of the window while keeping our modesty intact was also challenging!
