This is the first time I've lived at home in about four years. At first I thought moving back would be a huge challenge and dreaded the thought of the small world of a little town, but actually it's been surprisingly... nice? I think I'd be going crazy if I didn't commute to work everyday as bigger cities generally hold a lot more interest for me, but for now weekends back in my home town are pretty cute.
During my time away I'm pretty sure every time I came home there'd be some sort of adorable new shop or cafe that I couldn't wait to try out- and the most recent one is The Parlour. I walk past this place everyday on my way to the train station, and it is just so damn cute. It's so pretty I feel as though it should be sunny little beach town instead of our slightly grotty high street. Girly pastel stripes, bunting and all the sundaes you could eat- perfect.
It may have something to do with all the Great British bake off we've been watching, but both me and my mum have been wanting to test this place out for weeks, so as we had a few spare ours this weekend we couldn't resist! We devoured a chocolate Guinness and red velvet cake, two scoops of ice cream as well as well as too delicious hot chocolate's between us- definitely the best weekend treat!
The most incredible hot chocolate ever!
These were the most incredible cakes ever- I don't think I can even describe them well enough- rich, moist and the perfect size. We even decided to be massive rebels and get a scoop of ice cream on the side of each- soo so good!
