I failed. I admit it now. It may only be the 17th October but I have already failed at blogging every day throughout October. But I'm totally OK about it and here's why.

Today, ladies and gentlemen, is an incredible time. Today, I am inventing a time machine.

*Pause for dramatic effect*

I've seen a few of these posts around so I wanted to do a letter to past me, it is interesting to read and you get to see all funny pictures of me growing up. Who doesn't love that?


(Apologies for the possible non-quality of these pics, they are from approx 50 years ago. Yes I'm 59)

One of the most wonderful things about living in a city as huuuuuuuge as London is that you will never run out of things to do. There's something new popping up pretty much every week, things that you always think 'Ah I'll do another day' or always walk past on your way to work but never go inside.

One of my fab friends Sophie has recently moved back to London to finish Uni, and together we have a cute little list of these types of things that we want to tick off before she leaves again. We had a pretty jam packed day last Sunday visiting loads of amazing places and I wanted to share it all with you guys.

To be quite simple, I wasn't entirely sure whether to post about this. I knew I would like to do something for Mental Health Day, but then I had a super busy day and nothing went right and it just wasn't possible for me to get a post out. But I truly believe that it's such an important day, and I know the majority of bloggers and people agree - but I still wanted to do something.

I still think the following post might come across as a bit cringe, but I really hope it helps you.

So as many of you guys might now, wait, you should know, that I went to University in the big old smoke of London.

Now consider this, a freshly turned nineteen year old, moving away from a tiny Island that doesn't even have a train service with more than 9 stops, to London. It felt at the time like there were more people on a Tube train than there were on the whole Island. To put it politely, I was terrified.

Hi, my name is Mary Berry. It sounds kind of like Melberryy doesn't it. Kinda. 

As I am basically the Queen of Baking it should be absolutely no surprise to y'all that I love to bake. So when the lovely Talking Tables emailed me about a possible collabaration I knew that I wanted to test out some of their beau-tiful baking range.

So since I posted my A-Z of me on my birthday I got such a lovely response about how funny I am (totally knew that anyway though, insert sassy hair flick) and how nice a read it was, so I thought I'd come back with another similar post. So here we are!

Since moving to London I've been lacking majorly in two major things. Money and Time. There's not a lot I can do about the whole money situation, price of living in London and all that eh. But hey, I'm here to help you create time.

I didn't really set any New Years Resolutions this year apart from get a job (yay) I think I was too preoccupied with spending it in Lapland to think of any resolutions. However, I thought seeing as we're over three quarters of the way through the year (vom) I could set some end resolutions.

As you must know unless you live in Antartica, 5 weeks ago I attended my very first blogger meetup, organised by some wonderful Blogging Babes - read all about that here.

The day ended up being absolutely perfect, the heavy rain parted, the delirium from my previous night shift vanished and everything went just to plan. But the part that I wanted to go right more than any of these, was the meeting of new people.

Yes, that's right! It's the one with the Friends Fest review!

I know, it's October? What IS this mockery?!
I really hate to shock and scare you all like this, but the month after next is Christmas. Think I just threw up a bit in my mouth. October is a weird month for me this time around, on the fifth it will be one whole year since I got back from Greece. It's madness, madness I tell you!
