Home for the weekend #1

On Friday I came home for the weekend.

As much as I love being at uni, it's always nice to come home. Especially when the workload starts to pile up. 

Before I left, I was feeling a bit low, very tired and extremely stressed. Since I've been home, my mood has totally lifted. I feel a bit like I'm on holiday (shh! Don't tell Mum).

I've been offered endless cups of tea since I've been back and Dad even baked a cake, I think I'll be coming home more often! 

Most importantly though, I got to see this little lady! 

I miss her so much when I'm away and it's actually quite sad because she's been really poorly recently, so I wanted to make sure that I came home to see her. 

She never misses an opportunity to soak up some sunshine, much like her sister.

I think I must have drank a weeks worth of tea since I got back, there's a different mug in every picture (bit embarrassing). 

Unfortunately most of the day was spent catching up with uni work, whilst Roo and Rich played cards next to me.

Action shot...

Dad made a ginger cake, which he told me not to photograph as the fruit had sunk to the bottom. 

He always complains that his food goes wrong, but it always tastes amazing. 

I managed to take some time out from the dissertation to sample some of the cake. 

I found Mum buried beneath a pile of papers. 

And Dad cooked us a lovely Chinesey, noodely dinner, which was almost as good as the cake. 

I'm definitely going to come home about thirteen stone heavier.  

Ellie perked up at the sight of pudding (I had more cake).

Just look at that smirk! 

The cheeky rascal.
