Neuschwanstein

So that's one off my bucket list, I had always dreamt of going to see Neuschwanstein (new-swan-stone) castle, but I never dreamt I would get the opportunity so soon.  One of Ben's friends has moved to the beautiful Erlangen, which we were more than giddy to see but then when Ben said we'd be renting a car to drive to the castle I did pee a lil'. Special thanks to them for inviting us and taking us to such gorgeous places. We had the most amazing long weekend, and we couldn't have wished for better weather when we went to Neuschwanstein on the Friday. The scenery alone was simply breathtaking. 

We had the tour inside the castle through the handful of  completed rooms, King Ludwig's II bedroom was my favourite it had the most amazing carved bed you've ever seen and a swan for a facet! Apparently there are two secret doors - one for his loo and the other for bed linen - not very dramatic but still exciting nonetheless. 

If you follow me on instagram you will know I finally got my mitts on an Edwardian day dress, so it seem entirely appropriate to wear to the castle. Benji's beard is so ginger and magical ain't it?

All in all I want to emigrate to Germany, don't get me started on supermarkets over there, fricking pastries to die for! Don't worry I have more sight seeing snaps to share aha.

If I were a bird keeper

So if I were a bird keeper I would most definitely live in this beautiful Swiss style chalet in St James park. I did stare longingly at the gardener working, but I don't think he got the message I wanted to move in. These snaps are from when me and Ben were wandering on our first night in London, there is still so much I haven't seen in London, but I loved walking around the park and looking at the pretty birds, whilst we devoured honey buns from China town. The dress and boots are both my sister's (little sister syndrome?). I bought her the dress from eBay for her birthday and borrowed it about 6 months ago, she's only just go it back! It was quenching my desire for a beautiful white Edwardian day dress, alas I still do not have one! However, the rest of it is all mine, the jacket is a new favourite, it reminds me of Lust Caution. 

One of the massive houses facing St James park had the most beautiful sculptures on the façade, and how beautiful is the doorway?
