De-Stress

As I am furiously trying to get my blogging life back on track, I am taking a little day out from homeworks just to de-stress and relax.
I picked up the September and October issues of Elle and I'm just chilling while watching the TV and giving these a good old read.

I also recently purchased this tea mug for a bargain price of £1.50 in Tesco and I just thought it was really sweet!

I'm also going to take this opportunity to share with you all that last Thursday I left to go to somewhere very exciting and will 100% make time to write several blog posts on. I came home from this mysterious place on Sunday so I had four full days in this wonderful city that I can't wait to reveal to you!!!! No doubt if you follow me on Instagram (@ellenamyrobinson)  you will have seen many pictures before I get time to make a post!

Hope you enjoyed, 
Love Ellen xo

A Day At...The Galgorm Resort and Spa

Hello lovelies!

A few days ago I spent the afternoon at the Galgorm Resort and Spa for afternoon tea! It was such a lovely afternoon and the food was so delicious!
Of course Katie and I took an en route selfie!

We had our food in the River Room and Conservatory which was just gorgeous!

We were given a choice of sandwiches and were asked to choose one:
-Prawn Marie Rose
-Roast Beef and Horseradish
-Goats Cheese and Roast Pepper
-Honey Roast Gammon and Smoked Cheddar

I decided to go for the honey roast gammon but asked for it without smoked cheddar! With this came a homemade soup which was spinach and parmesan, a haggis sausage roll and smoked chicken caesar. These savory treats were just fab and they really did fill you up even though they were all miniature. With this I had a lovely pot of English tea.

We were then given a stand of miniature desserts which were a freshly baked scone, strawberry Victoria sponge, a coffee macaroon, a lemon posset with elderflower jelly and raspberries and meringues and finally an apple and blackberry mousse with honeycomb and fresh blueberries.
Stand full of treats!

I was so so full after eating all of this so we decided to have a walk around the grounds of the hotel! We got some pretty wee snaps beside the river!
