Coffee date on a cold morning

Everyone loves a good cup of a hot drink hanging out in a cosy place. The other morning myself and David went into Canterbury and visited my favourite little coffee house, Burgate Coffee. It always has the best vibe, the perfect place to go and chill for a while. 

It was a cold winter morning and we were wrapped up with warm coats, hats and scarves. When we walked through the door and it felt warm and inviting. I could not wait to relax with a warm drink. David treated me to a yummy hot chocolate which was very pretty looking too. We talked about movies, books we wanted to read and new comic books that were coming out. Even though we have been together for over 3 years, sometimes I forget how amazing David is and how much we actually have in common. Life is pretty magical.

If you are ever in Canterbury, make sure to check out Burgate Coffee! 

Coffee date for two

One morning I decided to take David out for breakfast at Stag Coffee in Ashford. I have been to Stag Coffee quite a few times and I have always enjoyed it. The staff have always been so lovely. We walked in and friendly smiles greeted us. We choose what we wanted and then waited for our coffee (which is always AMAZING). The food and coffee came and it was beautiful like always, and David loved it! So can't wait to take him again. We eat our food, chatted about our day ahead, caught up on stories, and browsed our social media sites of course. 

We then went for a wander around town. It always surprises me when I find pockets of cuteness in my home town. I found a mini library in a tiny wooden house box. I knew there was a few of these in various locations, but I was lovely to see this one! Plus I loved all the green plants growing around it.

I also picked up the new issue of Empire magazine. I knew there was going to be a lot about Rogue One in this issue. I was talking to David while looking for it, and a guy working overheard me. He then joined in our conversation, and said he had the new issue and went to go get them from out the back. He came back with two covers, and of course I went with the one with Jyn on, because Felicity Jones is everything. 

Then it was the afternoon and I had to look after the Made in Ashford shop. It was a lovely sunny day and lots of people came in and spoke to me, laughed, looked and purchased lots of items. I also got to play around with my new items and start to plan some new ones!

Fancy a drink?

While Dillon was here we got to visit Margate. It's one of my favourite place to visit, as I get to spend a lot of my time with David here. The sun came out, and the sky was blue. It was really warm, so the best time to be beside the sea. We did quite a lot in Margate on this day, more of which I will talk about soon, but this post is all about the cute coffee shops/ restaurants/ bars we visited.

First up was Proper Coffee. This super cute place is always top of my list of place to visit while I am in Margate. The coffee is always so good, and sandwiches are always the first thing I order. The style and decor of the place is super relaxed and quirky. I love the different rooms, and the giant chalkboard with lots of fun things to do in Margate.

Proper coffee is defiantly my favourite place to stop when in Margate. The chilled out vibes make the whole coffee shop perfect. The best place to relax with friends or sit and type away on your laptop. I first stumbled across this gorgeous place when it was raining with friends. It turned out to be the best thing we did all day.

The next place we visited was a brand new place called Word Up. I was drawn to the beautiful giant coffee sign above the bar. It was still very new, and lots still needed to be finished, but we enjoyed the drinks anyway. The fact we didn't have wifi was annoying, but it will be sorted soon as they are still working on the space. They had amazing lights on the walls, which I think they make and sell. The lights really make the space. So bright and fun.

Then later in the afternoon we nipped into the Cupcake Cafe. It has been given a brand new makeover and inside is now a dark blue. We had to visit because when I'm in Margate I have to have a cupcake. The cupcakes are still the best, and always make me smile!

Just before we went home we tried this new bar on the seafront and it was called The Bottle Shop. This again was very nice, and had just opened! I loved the fresh and clean style of the place. The guys behind the bar were friendly and happy to help with advice on what to drink. We ordered drinks and sat with the warm sunshine on our faces.

After our drinks and fish and chips, we caught the train back. More on our adventure in Margate soon!
