Belated Blogging



Confession. I got bad at blogging towards the end of the semester everything was so hectic. So I am  gonna give you a quick snapshot of what I didn't get round to blogging, before the year comes to an end and it feels improper to carry on banging on about Tennessee. I have had a fabulous Christmas and am gonna enjoy being exam less and chillin' till the end of January.  Here's some of my last snaps from the US of A : (.

Nostalgia Knoxville

I have discovered a vintage market store in Knoxville. Woop! It's  called Nostalgia and is situated just off Kingston Pike the main road out of Knoxville towards the mall. There are 30 different sellers under one roof meaning there's such a variety of vintage on offer. I must say I was not disappointed by the cavern of treats. I had to refrain from buying cute items for the flat that I would have struggled to manage home on the bus back to campus.  I had a lovely time browsing the wears and meeting the adorable pug mascot Napolean!  It is well worth a visit.  I am currently listening to Nashville's NEW Country, the perfect accompaniment to blogging love A x

Go VOLS!

I went to my first football game last Saturday even though the rain came down it was an experience not to missed! I have never seen so much orange in all my life and I was astounded by the bands moves n the amount of times Ole' Rocky Top was played! I defo's know it now! It's safe to day we thrashed Georgia 51-13 but the tensions building for tomorrow's game where we are playing our rivals the Gators from Florida! Some people say they're better than us so no one really knows whether the VOL spirit and intense training we have undergone this summer will prove enough to triumph. Exciting!
