Things I'm Loving - January

Sorry this post is couple of days late but I have been bogged down with two uni assignments, one due today and one tomorrow so have been spending my life in the library! However here is a roundup of my January favourties!

1) Snow!!

Janaury has been full of snow, and as annoying as it can be it is also simply stunning. It snowed just after Christmas when my family visited Sheffield. It then snowed a couple of weeks later and then a week after that. I have been lucky enough to go to the Peak District twice in the snow and take simply stunning photographs.

2) The Collective UK yoghurts

I dedicated an entire post to reviewing these yoghurts and think I have been addicted to them this month, there is never not a pot of it in my fridge. I am currently and still loving the passionfruit flavour, but am going to buy the lemon one next. I also bought the suckies, which are excellent for on the go. Although they are designed for and aimed at kids I can still enjoy them right?!!

3) Bring Back Borstal

I saw an advert for this and thought I must watch it. It was a four part series on ITV about ex young offenders volunteering to go into a borstal like in the olden days. It was a great documentary about how they coped with the regimes of the borstal and amazing to watch the boys improve and even be offered jobs at the end of it. I would recommend anyone watch this on itvplayer.

4) Healthy January

I have absolutely loved healthy January and am glad I have stayed motivated and not given up! I am thoroughly enjoying my personal training sessions, and also the gym classes. I am loving thinking up healthy recipes to cook for myself too! I am currently writing a post on my tips for staying healthy so look out of it!

I hope in February I keep up my healthy eating and exercise and will continue to spend most my time in the library! xoxo

Castleton - Mam Tor

My family came up to Sheffield with me so I wasn't alone in my flat on my own whilst working.

I worked Monday and Wednesday, so on the Tuesday we took the shop drive from Sheffield to the Peak District. It snowed a lot on Boxing Day in Sheffield and the snow was still present, which made driving a bit tricky!

Castleton was still covered in a thick blanket of snow and looked stunning.

We walked up Winnats Pass and headed up the hill to the top of Mam Tor which gave stunning views of the Peak District. We then headed back down the hill. It was a long walk and very hard walking in snow, my leg muscles ached the next day!

The walk was simply beautiful and the lighting was gorgeous, I took a tad too many pics!

In the evening we went to our fsvourite restaurant in Sheffield - Graze Inn.

We were sat in a cosy booth at the back of the restaurant. I had a delicious raspberry mojito for only £5 as it was happy hour. I also enjoyed some ribs served with winter-slaw, fries and peas and carrots. The portion was huge and I couldn't manage it all, excellent value for money!

I'll miss this place once I gradate from University! xoxo
