Here is one of those photos-of-my-day posts which I must get into the habit of doing more. Monday was a gorgeously sunny bank holiday which means a day off! My first port of call was for a haircut at Umberto Giannini (Selfridges, Birmingham). Claire has been my stylist for 4+ years and she's awesome. That day we spent a lot of time laughing at this Bad Hair book they had in the salon.
Afterwards, my little sister and I stopped for Sushi. Yo Sushi isn't the most amazing Sushi but....it does the job especially on a Blue Monday. I love Sashimi, Salmon and avocado handrolls but one of my favourites is the Tamago nigiri which is the sweet egg sushi. After we had our fill, my sis and I shopped and then stopped at Yorks Bakery for a tea and cake break. I went for green tea naturally.
My sis and I wondered around the city taking plenty of random snaps in the sunshine. Of course I managed to take advantage of the quieter streets and got a few photos for my next post...here is a sneak peek!
The day ended with a nostalgic Twister ice cream on the walk home from the train station and attempting to juggle my ice cream when I took the photos of the pink blossom above. It was such a lovely day and I'm already looking forward to the next bank holiday...fingers crossed it will be just as sunny!
Love your photos. Sunny weather makes the days more fun, huh? Oh, sushi! Can't get enough :)
