Good Friday

It was so amazing to see the turn out for the Good Friday March, so many believers and different cultures!

What was the march for, you may ask? Churches from around the local area joined forces to celebrate Jesus sacrificing his life for us and saving our sins.

Romans 5:8

"But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us."

Isaiah 53:5

"But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds."

Hope everyone had a great Easter & remembered the real reason why we celebrate Easter!

In bacon, beans

Battle of the Brunches

B I L L S

Entering the ring weighing 40 pounds is Bills Breakfast *crowd cheers*

Bills Breakfast Speech: I hope you guys enjoy, we have worked very hard for you to indulge in a wonderful quirky full English!

Judges Verdict: Wednesday at 11:16am I discovered something wonderful... Breakfast at Bills. Honestly, it was sooo nice and was just the right proportion. Not gonna lie I thought the little pot of beans wouldn’t fill me but it actually did! Although I could have done with a bit more toast, the sunny side up, sausages and bacon streaks were enough to fill me up! On another note, the hot choco entered the ring with a huge jab and was topped off with whipped cream and a flake!

Aesthetic Rating: 9.9

Overall rating: 8.9

Entering the ring at 50 pounds is the Gas Street Social Breakfast *crowd cheers*

GSS Speech: thank you all, hope our choice of additional potatoes are enough to win you over!

Judges Verdict: The Wednesday after next, at 11:26am I found myself at a The Gas Street Social having brunch with my family. Having only been to the GSS for drinks I was intrigued what their food menu had to offer! I ordered the classic breakfast ‘Gas Street Works’ (minus the mushrooms) and I’ve got to say, I thought it would be better as the menu said their sausages were ‘Award Winning’. I also accidentally ordered the wrong type of egg, which was my fault, but I still ate it! However, I have to hand it to them the bacon and potatoes were really nice and breakfast at GSS is served all day, which is a bonus! When the hot choc entered the ring it wasn’t serving any jabs at all, but the overall service at GSS was a ten out of ten and I will be going back to try something else on their menu!

Aesthetic Rating: 4.5

Overall rating: 5

Ding ding ding we have a winner! Bills Breakfast has won the Battle of the Brunches!

Bills Breakfast Speech: I would like to thank the soil for allowing me to grow in it, the tomato sauce that allowed me to bathe in and all at the farm. Here’s to next year!

Now the question is, where shall I go next to eat and who shall go with?

Everyman Cinemas: The Best Of Both Worlds

I know I'm about 10 years late but I finally had a cinema experience at Everyman Cinemas. I've always wanted to visit because I think the mix of dining and watching a film on a luxury sofa is such a fab idea! Whilst watching the Amazing Spider-Man (a great movie may I add) we filled our stomachs with buffalo wings, truffle fries, a burger and vanilla shakes! Although I thought the buffalo wings would be better, the vanilla shake was the highlight of the whole meal!

Everyman Cinemas is the place to be if you can't choose between eating out or going to the movies! Why not save time and do both at the same time!

Have you been to Everyman Cinemas, if so what did you watch?

Tell me what you thought via my socials.

In Deborah iona, Fashion

Self Portrait

Cameras are often never pointed at photographers when they are taking a photo. Today I challenged this golden rule and decided to photograph myself. These photographs weren’t taken with a narcissistic attitude but with expressing how I feel as a character: fun, free and determined. Sometimes I lack confidence and can be really shy. But I have to remember, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7.

Keep that in mind the next time you are feeling down or anxious and why not try photographing yourself for a change & express how you feel.

No More Secrets for the Pretty Little Liars

Every person dreads this day, the day that his or her favourite programme comes to an end. Personally, I tried to ignore the fact that this would ever happen with Pretty Little Liars as I pictured myself watching it week by week with my children aha. Well, I guess that can still happen but only by re-watching the 7 worthy seasons.

I don’t think it sunk in until they started taking down the set. A lot of memories were made within the walls of the Warner Brothers studio lot. Sigh. I’m writing this like I am a cast member, but I really do feel like one because I can recite nearly every episode line by line!

After countless deaths, a heap load of -A text messages and picture worthy shocked 'omg' faces, this show will always be my ultimate fave show! Sometimes I'd literally spend my nights reading -A theories like I was researching for an essay, I'm not even lying aha. Call me crazy but I used to have a whole Tumblr account (www.team-pretty-little-liars.tumblr.com) dedicated to PLL, I say used to because I can't remember the password for it, which still breaks my heart. I had a huge following on it as well, which makes it even more sad :(

Nevertheless, I am very excited to see what the 2-hour finale will entail and intrigued to find out who AD is even though I was quite disappointed with the A reveal, but I have forgiven the writers about that aha. One thing I will say is that there are so many unanswered questions! The list is endless. I still think Maya is alive and that she has been -A all along aha, I still think there's hope! #LongLiveMaya!

My AD theories are:

Caleb

Wren

Mellissa

Ezra

Spencer's Twin

It hurts to say, Caleb & Ezra, I would literally cry if it was one of them because they would have played the girls so bad! Mellissa and Wren have disappeared and have yet to tell us unanswered questions and I think Spencer's twin theory is genius (look it up if you haven't already).

Seven worthy seasons of pure joy, I've basically grown up with this show and again it's sad to see it end. :'(

Make sure you watch my Pretty Little Liar AD Reaction video on my YouTube Channel Deborah Iona after the episode airs.

Peace, Deborah x
