Ghost Hunting

 York prides itself on being one of the most, if not the most, haunted cities in the United Kingdom. One of the must dos in York, are its famous nightly ghost tours. Some of my housemates and I decided to take the challenge on going on one of the hunts, which was an experience! 

The tour we chose to go on is on EVERY night, except on Christmas Day, how crazy is that? It was very cold and windy on the night we went as well, (sounds like a scary story already!) A creepy gentlemen meets you at The Shambles, you pay £5 and you are taken on a tour of part of the city while he makes stops sporadically to tell you a spine-chilling tale of the night. Ok, it wasn't that scary, but most of the stories involved little children dying in some horrible way which definitely is creepy. He picked a lot on one of our housemates Graeme mostly because he's very tall and easy to pick on haha.

Overall, we got a good laugh out of the hunt, not so much the scare, but walking around in York at night is a scare in itself! 

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

I forget the last time I've seen so much snowfall, probably the last time back in the day in Doncaster as a wee tot. As kids, my sister and I would rush out in the mornings to scrape the snow off the car before my parents can drive! It's a lot more fun than it sounds. Everyone had their own wellies to trek the deep layer of snow in, and we'd end up with big rosy cheeks from the frost. Our cousins and us would run outside to make snowmen, find things to use for bodyparts, and end up with frozen hands from our wet mittens. We'd have so much fun teetering and tottering in the snow. AH, it was bliss!

My uni campus has been really picturesque as well, breathtaking to be exact.
