Snapshot | Seattle

If you have been following my blog, you will know that we did a quick trip up to Seattle back in February.  So I thought I would share my Instagram journey to give you an idea of what we got up to whilst we were there.  

One thing Seattle has to offer is great restaurants and seafood. And as you can probably tell, we did a lot of eating out... 'shock-horror'! The weather was just like it is back home: grey, wet and miserable.  I was pleased though, because it meant that I could finally wear my handmade Garter Gaitor cowl and we could warm up with some traditional New England clam chowder!  Yummers !!!  We also visited the famous Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and the original Starbucks (previously known as: Seattle Coffee Co.).  We also found an amazing crumpet shop which is run by a little old English lady.  Sadly, I didn't get to meet her, it was just closing as we walked by it.  But PC ran out the next morning whilst I was getting ready and picked us up a plain crumpet, a cheese and tomato crumpet and a salmon and cucumber crumpet.  And as a treat he also got me a Crumpet Shop mug: what an absolute cutie he is!!!  I'm more of a traditional salted butter gal when it comes to crumpets, so I personally preferred the plain ones.  But I have to say that they were probably the best I've ever tasted, and, dare I say it, possibly beat Warbuton's crumpets!

Week 9 / Out of town_Seattle

This week, we are out of town for some family time up in Seattle, Washington.  At the end of our stay, we've allowed ourselves a couple of sightseeing days in the city that brought us the famous coffee: Starbucks!  One night whilst in Connecticut over Christmas, we stayed in out of the snow and sat around the fire drinking wine and eating New England clam pizza whilst doing a jigsaw puzzle of Washington State.  I am looking forward to seeing some of the places we found on the puzzle and, as my own hometown is in the Northwest of England, I am excited to experience a part of the Northwest of the USA.
