When Helga went to Scarborough...

After waiting for what felt like ages (though really its only been a week) I decided to check my bank and see if the money had been processed for my first holga film that I sent off... It hadn't
:( So I tried ringing the company and all I got was an answer machine and a worrying message about how the company had changed hands... So my first holga film may be lost to me... sob.

On the plus side, I took another film at the weekend and rather impulsively decided to take it to the shop to get processed yesterday... it cost double the price but only took 20 minutes! Huzzah. I think my new toy may be an expensive hobby...

How great have they turned out? I was so excited when I opened the packet!! I still have 16 photos from Scarborough in the camera - I'm a little surprised I didn't finish the roll to be honest but those will have to wait until I do... I'll post some more of this roll over the next few days though, yeay!!

p.s. I really hope that first roll does turn up - we had so much fun taking the pictures...

Oh my...

I discovered The Red Deer this morning through Grace's Birdcage (Alicia also won a postcard) and now she is following my blog as well! Hi Alicia :)

Check out her amazing cupcakes - I have never so much wanted to bake cupcakes as I do right now - especially as my lovely Mum just brought me some cute cupcake molds!! Question is: which one do I make first? The Kit Kat one really looks yummy...

p.s. I'm actually going to make some bourbon biscuit truffles tonight after seeing these Oreo Truffles on I Then Shall Live... I hope that bourbon biscuits taste as nice. I can wait for cupcakes... I think...

Scarborough...

I think I have a Poladroid problem! I still think that Boyfriend's camera takes gorgeous photos but I can't seem to stop myself from taking photos that I know will look great when made to look like Polaroids - is that a bad thing?

We had such a lovely time in Scarborough: the weather was gorgeous, we had icecreams, we went on a sea cruise, we had fish and chips on the sea front, played on the 2p machines and we walked across the beach... I have never seen so many seagulls in one place before though and they were huge!

I've uploaded the best digital photos onto Flickr, so you can see them there if you want...
