Poppies Weeping Window

Today I finally went to see the Poppies Weeping Window at St George's Hall with Holly. It's been there since the 7th November & goes in 2 weeks time on the 17th January. I've been wanting to go for ages even though I've been to town loads within that time I've just not been down there. I wanted to get photos of it in the daylight but also in the dark when it's lit up.

 

Some of the photos were taken on my Nikon 1 J2 camera while others were taken from my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. Selfies were taken on Holly's iPhone 6.

Holly was underwhelmed by them as the photos other people have posted does make them look bigger than what they are but they still look so good. There's not as many as when they were at the Tower of London but then there's no way they could move all them around on tour in different cities. 

Before they came to Liverpool they were at Woodhorn Museum Northumberland (12th September - 1st November). At the moment they're also at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (5th September - 10th January). Which I didn't know until I wrote this post I thought we were special & was the only place! They seem to be at other places for a lot longer than we've had them. But the face they've come to Liverpool I'm happy. I really appreciate & love stuff like this that happen in my home city. I really am like a proper tourist. I can't help it!

Tallest Christmas tree in the UK at Liverpool One. 30 metres tall, 280 heart lights. Doesn't really look like a tree...

Had a nice day being a tourist with Holly. We got into town at 2ish then wandered around till it was dark at like 4:30pm so we could take photos of the poppies in day light & when it was dark. The lighting wasn't grey cos it's was horrible day today. Luckily it didn't rain while we were out (umbrellas were a pain to carry around especially for photos!) but it was pouring down in the morning with Storm Frank!

Christmas 2015

Leather Cut Out Boots - Zara

Didn't get up till 10:45am yesterday morning, spent a good hour & a half getting ready as well didn't go downstairs till like 12:30pm to open presents. I knew I wasn't going to be getting anything good so wasn't really bothered about opening presents. 

Last minute throw together outfit, I bought this top 10 minutes before I was due in work on Christmas Eve, I bought it in khaki as well cos I couldn't decide which one to go for & was going to wear my Zara leather bike pants. Was so exited to wear my coat more anything though!

Annual Christmas dinner at Nanny Wing's! Auntie Christine made a carrot cake as requested & Costco have got some competition. Just as good! She also made a sponge cake & it's the lightest cake ever, she should seriously think of opening a bakery or something. I love baking but this is nothing compared to what I can make! Cheesecake & cupcakes were shop bought.

Christmas is always nice to spend with the family but I do wish I was away somewhere else for a change. It just isn't the same when you're old there's no excitement there & people all over facebook just get spoilt where as I don't. I just spoilt myself with the Zara sale though!
