Gaga, cocktails, spontaneity, friends, love.

So, Rachel and her friend Katie decided they would pay Anna and I a visit in York, to chill at the carnival, drink tea, and have lovely chats and giggles. They arrived in York of course greeted by hugs and smiles as we headed into town for coffee while we settled down. We proceeded to walk half way down the street when we spotted Evil Eye, a really chilled cocktail bar down one of the lovely cobbled streets. After wandering in just to take a peek, we were six hours later, rather merry, running for the last train back to Manchester where we all stayed at Rachel's. We ate, watched Gaga, chatted and laughed endlessly until it was light outside and the birds were singing.

Well, things are never easy are they? But it is weekends like these that make all the sad and difficult things disappear for a while. I always value the power of love and friendship. Let the pictures tell the story!
