The Seven Dials

Today after my Communication Skills team meeting at the library, I wanted to do something seeing as I was already in the city.

Berlin and I walked to the Seven Dials near Covent Garden. It's basically a roundabout with seven streets going off it. Berlin called me one day, lost, and asked me to find where she was going on Google maps. She came back raving about it, so I thought I'd check it out.

Here's a map:


It has pretty Christmas lights!


The white thing is the monument in the middle of the roundabout.

It also has such cute shops. One of those is Magma on Earlham St (ummm... number 6).
 It's a design-y card/poster/random stuff stores.
So many little things to look at, and so pretty :)
The one we went into was the products store. There's also a magazine store a few doors down, which I may go to, to get a copy of Frankie for my plane ride to Singapore. Maybe, if I get round to it.

Berlin spent agessss in there, she was so excited. That's okay. I blogged.

After that we went to Covent Garden to find some dinner. Found the cutest pie shop ever, The Pie Shop,  in the bottom floor of the Covent Garden piazza, in a little corner.



It's pretty much a little alcove, low roof, nice and cosy. Probably a bit small for the Saturday night eat-out demand, but so so cute.

I had beef and guiness pie with mash.


Good portion and reasonable price, and nice staff and relatively clean table. 
I just put a serviette over the little dirty bit *fussy*

When I got home, there was a package for me! I was not expecting anything at all, so I was really really excited! It was a 6 months present from Dave.


Thank you Dave :) I think I have the best boyfriend ever.

I also got Harry's Christmas present in the mail today. It was an Adele music book!

So that makes two packages in one day! I love the people in my life.


And I also finished my Industrial Organisation essay in the morning.

AND... I made that Christmas tree from cardboard! 
Haven't got round to those decorations yet though.
Here is a picture of my newly established display shelf. From left to right, there's my Christmas tree, Emily's Christmas card, Harry's Christmas card, and Dave's card that came with the chocolate. Lovelovelove.




SO MUCH HAPPINESS!!!!
