I'll Always Come Back to Who

I am so happy right now!  I had a nearly perfect day - and I just had to share it with all of you, even though I promised no more blogging for awhile.

The pastry & tea shop was amazing!!    It was more a full-blown restaurant than I had anticipated from their website.  

     

My lunch was a steak & mushroom pie with chips!  Delicious!  I will definitely be going there again.


I had this great moment where I was eating my pie & chips, while reading Sherlock adventures on my Kindle, drinking amazing tea, and a Mini-Cooper drove by.  
Sidebar: Why is British tea so much better?!  Is it just a quality thing?  I could drink a pot of that stuff every day.

As you can tell, I fell in love with the place.  There was also a little shop attached where you could buy biscuits or tea usually only found in Britain -- so hard not to over spend.  And there was a pub next door, which I'll check out next time.

I also spent several hours with my oldest friends -- books.  I went to a couple different book stores, and I did buy a few Doctor Who items.  The technical manual was published in 1983.  I'm thinking if I hold onto it for awhile, it might even be worth something.  (And now I have my own sonic screwdriver!! )



I also found this dress at a thrift store that I want to alter for a TARDIS cosplay  

It looks black because of the lighting in my room - but it is a navy blue (so more of a Classic TARDIS color).  Of course, I will need someone far more clever than myself to help with the actual sewing... but I'm sure it will be fantastic.  I see so much potential in this dress!

I also got a haircut and now I feel all fluffy & pretty!  Now I'm just watching more Sherlock and playing on Tumblr.  Ah - contentment.
