IHDCM: Two Zero One One

Happy New year everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and NYE!!

I Apologise for my absence but this time it's totally not my fault! As soon as I got back to England, my lap top broke and I've lost my camera charger so I haven’t been able to take any pictures. Also for the first week and half of being back in England I was working so I had very little to talk about.

Before I headed home for Christmas André took me to Papa Razzi restaurant for dinner. OhMyGod. The food was amazing and the cocktails were out of this world alcoholic! Papa Razzi is by far my favourite restaurant in Porto so it was a perfect way to say goodbye as we both LOVE eating and going out for food!

My new favourite coat & over the knee boots

Getting home was a bit hit or miss because of the problems caused by snow but after a cancelled flight and an hour delay I made it back. It was so nice being back home for Christmas, it was amazing seeing all my friends and family as I hadn’t seen most of them since September!

I loved Christmas, it was a simple day with lots of family and lots of food! My mum truly outdid herself this year! Everything was perfect :] This Christmas she followed Gordon Ramsey's Ham recipe and Jamie Oliver's mince pie with a twist recipe, oh my did she do us proud. Being “an adult” now I don’t get to open as many presents and family members have stopped sending money in my cards which is sad. However Santa (in the form of my brother) brought me the perfect pair of leather trousers (above) :] so I am very happy!

After 2 weeks without him, André finally came to England :] I went to the airport to pick him up and it was v.emotional. I thought there would be that weird period as we hadn’t seen each other for so long, but no there wasn't, it went straight back to normal. Our first day we just slept all day and watched films because he was ill (faryngitis) and I was tired (after working all week). But for the rest of the week we did the whole London tourist thing, I have to admit I am a sloppy tour guide! considering I was showing him round my capital city where I have been hundreds of times you'd think I would know where things were! But oh no, I don‘t. New years eve we went to O Satsuma restaurant in Soho for some sushi! we ate a ridiculous amount of food, and drank a ridiculous amount of alcohol! Then we went to The O Bar which is also in Soho, the plan was to go for a few drinks then go watch the fireworks in South bank. However we drank a little tooooo much and ended up staying at O Bar all night, we had an amazing night and drank some delicious cocktails. It was by far my favourite NYE to date. We had a great time together in England and he got to meet my whole family (the poor guy).
