A week in the French Alps.

Over the past seven days, I have had the absolute pleasure of being able to travel to Tignes, in the French Alps, and ski and snowboard with some of the amazing friends I have made in Leeds. After close to 12 hours of travelling from Leeds to Geneva to Tignes, I had one of the most amazing weeks of my life. It was filled with some many laughs, numerous bruises from falling, and a lot of drinking, which were followed by some horrid hangovers.

A day in Sheffield.

Today my friend and I jumped on an early train to Sheffield, and spent the day exploring around. Now I know what you're thinking, Kate are you ever in Leeds? However, I have vowed to make the most of the insanely cheap and convenient British rail system. So I have been visiting as much of the UK as I can while I'm over here. Sheffield is a picturesque little town, and we managed to pick an amazing day to come and visit. Upon our arrival, the streets in the city centre where filled with rides and carnival treats, as it was towns annual Halloween fair. A lot of shopping and eating was completed throughout our short stay, and the weather managed to clear up and was even a little warm. I know, it was bizarre!
