Cocoa Wonderland!

I love spontaneous days out with my bestie! Me and Megan decided to embrace the 'hottest day of the year' at the park however it rained a bit, thundered and it was just really humid! So change of plans we decided to venture for some tea & cake.

A place in mind randomly popped into my head and I thought why not go to Cocoa Wonderland on Eccy Road! I've always wanted to go but the thought never crossed my mind often enough. 

I knew it was a place which sold chocolate but from reading the reviews they did tea, cake and lots more! 

  

We arrived at the shop and we felt overwhelmed with excitement as soon as we entered! It felt like a traditional sweet shop with all the array of colours. Even the woman serving us could sense how giddy we felt. I ordered a rocky road hot chocolate & a slice of chocolate fudge cake and Megan ordered a banoffe shake & a chocolate fudge cake, the lady told us she would bring it to us. We had a choice of sitting downstairs or upstairs so we sat upstairs! We even got to put our phone in the docking station and play music. Everything was delicious! My hot chocolate was really chocolatey so I didn't get to finish it all, but I helped myself to the free jug of water to wash it all down. The view of busy Eccy road was nice as well. 

Afterwards we took a stroll into the botanical gardens! And I made a friend in the form of a cat named Oscar :D 

Today was a fab day and this is why I love my best friend! We have the greatest adventures together (as others have told me) and I cherish every single one of them.

The day we went to the alpaca farm!

Last Thursday was probably one of my favorite days of the week as me and Megan decided to take a long overdue trip to Mayfield Alpaca farm. We got the bus about 11ish and ended up basically in the middle of nowhere (the countryside of Sheffield). It was pretty windy and there was mud everywhere but the sun was out and we were determined to find those alpacas! After wandering around for a while with google maps, asking people for directions in a pub and Megan slipping in mud, we finally found the place!!! 

 

 

So we paid at the cafe and we were given a coin to put in the turnstile to enter the farm. Yes, there was more mud everywhere but the sight of seeing those fluffy alpacas just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. They are so cute and gentle! We literally just slid around the farm and trying to hold each other up from falling but we manage to spot more animals such as chickens, pigs, goats and more. Once we left the farm the cafe staff told us we could go to the room with smaller animals :)

Afterwards we realised there wasn't a bus to take us back into civilisation so we had to call for a taxi. We ended our day at Fancie which is a cake shop/restaurant, we decided we needed this after the events that day haha! We engulfed lashings of tea, the hot dog of the day which was a sausage with gravy and mash potato on top in crusty bread (omg! It was delicious!) then we had a cupcake each and of course more tea! (Never felt so British!)

I really enjoyed this day and I hope we can do it again sometime!
