The Butterfly Cabinet

                   

 

Hey everyone

 

My cousin and I are constantly seeking out new quirky little places to go for drinks or food and we heard about the Butterfly Cabinet, so decided we would go for breakfast on Sunday.  I always think Sundays are a nice day to go out and get breakfast or lunch as they are quite long boring days. 

 

So yesterday we decided to meet for 10.30 to head over for breakfast,  I was totally all to pot with the clocks going back.  You would think I would have grasped how it worked by now!!

 

The Butterfly Cabinet is in Newcastle on Heaton Road.  When we got there we were shocked as the queue was right out of the door! It was so cold but we heard it was so good and didn't want to turn away.  There were some funny girls in the flat above offering to sell us bacon sandwiches for £5 each, I was so hungry and tempted to take them up on that!!

 

There was a little cheer each time someone left the café and at last after a half an hour wait in the wind, we were inside!

 

This sign was up above the door and apparently the Butterfly Cabinet is world famous! how's about that then!

The décor in there was so cute, carpeted walls, pictures everywhere, big lampshades, books, old ornaments and of course lots of butterfly's!

 

I particularly liked this big chandelier

 

 

There was so much food to choose from and I didn't make my decision until the waitress was there with her pen and paper and I was forced to choose!!

 

 

I decided to go with Sausage, eggs, hash browns beans, toast and a big mug of tea.  The hash browns were so nice and I am not usually a fan!

 

When we asked for our bill, it come with two chew sweets which I thought was so fun compared to the usual mint imperial!   It was quite an ok price for a breakfast mine come to about £6.00 all together.

 

I would definitely go back to the Butterfly Cabinet maybe for lunch next time.  They also reopen on an evening sometimes for bands and things so would be keen to check one of those out too.

 

I would recommend you give it a try if you're in the area as it is world famous after all :P

 

What is your favourite little hangout?

 

Peace out

HHello everyone

I’m feeling in a good place in my life at the moment so wanted to do a positive post.

All over social media sites, quotes and pictures on life are shared, retweeted and posted however, how many of you actually live up to those and how many of those are reposting because that is how you would like to live?

I like to give advice to people and help as much as I can and whenever someone comes to me feeling unhappy about life etc, I like to share my favourite quote of all time and that is “the pen that writes your life story must be held in your own hand”. 

I have not always felt this way, when I was at school trivial things felt like the end of the world, revision, exams, boys, did I have the coolest trainers for PE, why was my best friend not talking to me, what will I do when I leave school. 

When I left school I think I just looked back and thought, when will I ever use algebra again, ergh why did I even fancy that boy, I couldn’t care a less if you don’t like my shoes, I do.  You have your whole life in front of you and that is such an exciting prospect don’t you think?  There are so many things to do and see.

Now two things that people either love or hate about me is that I couldn’t care a less what people think about me and I do exactly what I want to do when I want to do it.  Some people find this selfish however I see this as “writing my own life story…” as the quote suggests.  The people that do think this way, I would like to ask, why?  Why do you care and why don’t you do what you want to do?  You only get one life so live it the way you want to do.

Last year has to have been the worst year of my whole life but in 2013 when the ball dropped I promised myself I was going to have fun and be more spontaneous. 

Here is a small segment of the things I have been up to this year so far…

Trecked through London with no sleep for 36 hours, camped in the rain, went on a treasure hunt, played on the slide and scraped my legs, got lost in the woods, camped in the rain...AGAIN, rolly polly races on the beach,  lay in a field and watched the stars, danced like no one was watching, Jumped over the waves, went to new York city, seen old lady lib, went to the top of the rock, tried broccoli, completed the Great North Run, built sandcastles, got my first tattoo and the year is still not over!!

Now I am not an expert but in my experience, things do get better so always try to think positive.  Having someone to talk to is a big help too.  Don’t keep everything bottled up. 

I am not trying to come across as a know all I may not even feel this way myself next week but I can always look back on this blog and hopefully it will make me feel all ok again J

In the next couple of days I will be posting about my first ever holiday in New York City so be sure to check it out. 

Peace out

My First Post

Well Hello Everyone,

 

I thought I would give blogging a bash, all the cool kids seem to be doing it these days.  I have attempted it before but I uploaded like 4 posts in about a year! Not good.  I thought I would try my very best to do one at least once a week.

The reason I want to start blogging is because I get up to some fun things and thought it would be rather cool to share with everyone. 

My post isn't going to be anyone thing really its going to be a mix of life style, reviews, beauty, books, just a bit of everything really.

Anywho, I hope you like it and would be grateful to receive any tips.

peace out
