What do get when you cross 2 excitable university freshers with London? Lots of shopping! Well, what do you expect?! It is 20 minutes' walk from our current location after all, plus the student loan came through :D Armed with a shopping list (toaster - 2 weeks without toast?! What a nightmare!) we hit the shops. Halfway down the street, we succumbed to temptation; WAFFLES! So worth it : )
In true student style, a toaster was first on our list of purchases; a lack of cheese on toast was starting to make one of us a little edgy. John Lewis Value range is great for student essentials like that, we heartily recommend it. (Of course, there are other shops available for such purchases :p) Part of doing this blog was to pass on to other Freshers our experiences, as sanctimonious as that sounds, but nevertheless. Anyway.
Increasingly aware that winter was fast approaching and that rain would soon arrive and drench us, there was nothing for it but to buy umbrellas. In the most pretty patterns possible. Of course. Well, you wouldn't want a plain umbrella, would you? That would be boring and counter intuitive. So, our purchases consisted of umbrellas and a toaster, as you do.
On the subject of toast, food appeared to be the order of the day as we moved on to TopShop. Surreptitiously sneaking past twice, we sampled the many delicious, wait for it, SPARKLY (!) cupcakes on offer : D We were also terrified by the number of owls on display in the jewellery, watching us with their beady eyes from all the shelves. Needless to say, there were no "owls" purchased during our trip.
Next time... something else exciting, as with much of our Freshers life.
