Day out in Durham

On Wednesday me and my best friend went for a day round Durham, which was lovely as I haven't seen her as much recently. Durham is such a nice place to visit for the day- it has lots of cute little shops to explore and lovely places to eat, whether it's for a meal or just a quick coffee. Luckily we got a beautiful sunny day so we got to sit on the grass outside the cathedral and walk along the river. 

Here's some of the stuff we did and the things that took my fancy!

Indoor market - Toy stall

Cuddly Gru! OMG he's so good!

It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!!

These sand creatures are amazing, I've never seen dinosaur ones before though! My boyfriend collected these as a child so I have a soft spot for them :')

Gorgeous!

An owl with babies! awww

This stall was amazing! I wanted almost everything, I'm such a big kid! There was even a mermaid doll that came with sea creature friends and one of them was a cuttlefish! You can get anything these days

Vintage Shop

Tasmanian Devil desert water bottle! Wow, this is so cute. If I was going on an expedition I would definitely have got this

Aw I love tartan and 'clippy-in buckle fastenings'

Vintage Popeye doll! Creepy but still photo-worthy :)

This vintage shop has some amazing stuff, but it is really expensive and the handwritten 'do not touch' signs all over everything kind of ruin the shopping experience. The library-type silence and watchful gaze of the shop keeper doesn't really incite you to browse or buy :(

Unfortunately the lovely vintage shop called 'Scarlet Ribbons' which used to be in Durham has closed; sad as I preferred that one!

Cheap shop finds!

Elephant tent! It has a face and feetys! If some one bought me this I would be happy forever

Huge duck and pig balls! Everything has a face and feetys in this shop

Derpy faced crab ring- why not?

Pub Chills

This is me ^_^'

This is my best friend! - follow her on instagram: @princeporkchop

Nothing beats cold drinks outside in the sun - this was at the pub in the market square

Visiting the cathedral

hey

Creasing because we said we needed one of those sticks to hold your phone further away and get a better selfie, or as it's more commonly known: 'selfie-stick'

Elephant man teddies?

Amazing Views!

These views of the cathedral from the riverside path are just amazing! We even saw jumping fish in the water, this is a gorgeous spot to sit for a while (e.g if you're too full of chips to move)
