Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

Well, this past week I've been in Manchester, house hunting! Eeek :) Looking forward to moving in July. It's getting close now! A brand new beginning.

As well as this, I've been having a gander at places to possibly sell work in the future. I stumbled across an absolute gem, the Manchester Craft and Design Centre. There was some gorgeous work there, and so many opportunities. Two floors of stunning little boutiquey-workshops, as well as an arty coffee shop sat right in the middle, soaking up that buzzing atmosphere. Such an inspiring place, with so much going on! I'm so glad I found it!

So I thought the evenings in the hotel would be a good time to cram work in for my dissertation, so I spent most of my evenings spread out on the bed, typing away and trying to remember where I found the bits of information floating around my head! It was definitely well needed, and I managed to get so much done, I can't quite believe it! 

And of course having our student style, make-shift dinner from sneaked breakfast muffins and butter, with the cheapest ham known to man, and of course popcorn, haha.

At the end of everything we decided to take a lovely country route home, seeing all the natural world again, and finding a fabulous place to have lunch - which did the most amazing puddings! We had to share one and bring a couple home, they were just too good!

And with Easter literally hours away, I'm sure there is only going to be more caloricious indulgence! Especially as I could hardly not make Easter nest cakes now could I!

Happy Easter!
