Sorry for the delay in getting this post to you!
As I mentioned before, I was spending some time with my family back in Germany earlier on this month (unfortunately it wasn't under the best of circumstances) and I thought I'd share some pictures of my adventures with you!
So, my Mothership & I flew from Edinburgh to Hamburg this time, before commencing the most stressful 3 hour train journey to my family in Wolfsburg.

Hamburg
Whoever said that Germans were efficient and punctual was totally lying - out first train to Hamburg Hbf was perfect, however our transfer from Hbf to Uelzen ended up being delayed due to the lines (unfortunately we arrived at the start of the 38degree heatwave) which meant on getting to Uelzen we had to literally run to get the connecting train to Gifhorn, which luckily waited for the passengers coming off the Hamburg-Uelzen train.
Luckily my sister came to collect us at Gifhorn, as due to delays we narrowly missed the train to Wolfburg. (The train journey back was even worse for timing - we almost missed the train due to delays again, and the heatwave was over)
Gifhorn Train Station
Eventually we got into Wolfsburg, and after some family time, I took a couple of days to wander around and feel all nostalgic about the city I lived in after I left school.

We also took a day trip out to Braunschweig, to have a look around the shops and see some pretty architecture! I really love this city - it's just so beautiful.
Food
Anyone that knows me at all, knows that I have a major food addiction, especially when it comes to cake!Here are a few of the yummy things I came across this time round. I really didn't eat much cake or bad things this time, as I'm actively trying to lose weight and it was heartbreaking not to eat every single yummy thing I wanted!
I couldn't resist picking up this beauty from Happy Donazz in the Schloss Arcaden, Braunschweig!
I absolutely adore these guys - they make the best Donuts ever....this one had crunchy nut on it! OMG!

In true Me fashion, I found myself a good place to get some Sushi!
Seriously, I have a massive addiction to Sushi, and it's usually the first thing I look for when I'm out and hungry.
This box was just under 20Euros from Sushi Bar Viet Express in Kaufhof, Wolfsburg and was super lovely. On top of that they also gave me a discount randomly, so it was even cheaper.
As far as value for money goes, this is definitely great and much cheaper compared to Scotland!

I also want to share with you some of the most delicious cherries, that came from my Omas' Cherry Tree! They were so good!
Pets!
I also want to introduce you all to my Sisters' cat, Lumpi.
He's such a snuggly cuddly boy, that only gets to go outside when he has his jacket and lead on, so that he stays safe!
Isn't he a sweetie?!
Fashion:
When we got to Germany, I was SO thankful that I packed light, girly, summery items! It was reaching almost 40degrees over the majority of the week, so I was absolutely melting! I even managed to get a ridiculous tan line from sitting on my Sisters' balcony for a few hours!
I wish that I could have put more makeup on, but for most of the week I had to hide it in a cold dark cupboard as my lipsticks and other cream/liquid products were taking the heat badly and things were beginning to melt! I dunno how you all in hot countries deal with makeup - short of keeping it in the fridge!

So this is a little rough sum-up of my week - food, sunshine and awful train services!
I've not posted any family pics up here to protect their privacy - however if you know me personally you'll have seen them on my personal page!
Next time I'll be back to chattering about makeup/looks/products and my usual geekery!
Until then,
Love,
