🗓️ Day 2 of 12 vlogs of Christmas: Sunday
This was meant to be shared yesterday but it took four hours 🙄 and finally uploaded at midnight so i deleted it and am now a day behind

Sunday, came to Glasgow - I will share the full air bnb details once we’ve left

Thanks for all the lovely comments and messages on the first vlog attempt! As you can see they won’t be polished but quite nice not to care too much. Daily morning posts won’t ever change but i’ll be sharing these at 6pm each day til Christmas.

Also feel like I need to clarify - on yesterday’s video I said I’ve worked in social media for nearly ten years, and actually got some people message about working with me as their social manager. Thank you for the interest but I don’t work for myself, I’m employed full time in house by a company, happy to recommend some North East agencies/freelancers I think are good though!

4 festive stays ✨

In some beautiful hotels, that at Christmas time manage to make their big halls and high ceilings feel cosy and homely by the fire 🎄

📍 Durano Lounge, Tynemouth

New spot on the sea front that used to be the toy museum, it’s huge inside and they’ve done it up really well. There’s loads of tables and sofa seating - walk in only.

We went for coffee and some of us had breakfast last weekend - there were 6 of us and two dogs it was great having all the space. The staff were really canny this was one of the main things I took away, they were all really nice.

The coffee was spot on, but i’ll be honest the breakfast food was alright (still new so I would have it again) and I have heard good things about the evening tapas menu. They’re doing live music nights in there now too.

I think it’s a great addition and another option for Tynemouth sea front, and their terrace will be so nice in the summer looking right out over Longsands. We went on the day of the storm though so no chance of us going outside for a look 🌪️

Already regretting my choices but here goes 🫣🎞️

Christmas at the Grainger Market ✨ My favourite

Christmas at the Grainger Market ✨

My favourite thing about wandering the old alleys in here is that all the decorations completely clash and it’s like a throwback to the 90s. Tinsel, multicoloured lights, paper chains, cut out snowfkakes, blow up santas the lot 🎅🏼 ❄️

The Grainger market is also open on Sundays now until Christmas ✨

I’ve had requests for this reel but honestly I’ve not had a proper night out in town yet so haven’t tried all of these, but I’ve browsed the menus and this is where I’d go and what I’d order ✨

Festive Afternoon tea at Matfen Hall ✨

a d| Indulging in festive elegance at Northumberland’s only 5-star hotel, @matfenhall with my mum 🥂

Honestly whether you would usually enjoy afternoon tea or not I promise you would here at Matfen. There are so many good ones across the North East but the Matfen Hall experience really elevates it simply for the setting and attention to detail.

You arrive at the house which has been decorated throughout I lost count of how many twinkly Christmas trees there were. For a house so big it’s warm and cosy by all the huge fireplaces, even in the pale blue Drawing Room which is where we were served.

Silverware polished to perfection - Mr Carson would be proud, and champagne on ice served as you wait the food ✨

Food wise there were festive twists across all three layers. I’ll start with the sweets as they’re always the main event - the chestnut and blackcurrant patisserie was my favourite, and the gingerbread scone with homemade Christmas jam just tasted like Christmas. There was also a ‘Hot Chocolate’ dessert with milk chocolate and cinnamon.

The savoury plate included the slow-cooked turkey breast with sage and onion stuffing sandwich and a parma ham and brie.

We had a fabulous few hours watching the geese across the golf course, the outside decorations light up as it got darker, and slowly making our way through all the food. A real treat 🍾

Matfen Hall festive afternoon tea is abailable Tuesday to Saturday, 12-4pm, until 4th January. As Violet Bridgerton would say it was, ‘enchanting’ ✨

Rich girl energy…

…has nothing to do with money in December ✨

Time at home in your favourite city, spending it with good people, a full glass, a tin of roses, and wrapped up cold day dog walks 🧶
