After Jim and Myself joining national trust, we only need to visit a few house and gardens to make our money back. After a hectic week of a&e and sleepless nights we finally found out whats wrong with me and out of the possible diagnosis this one was such a relief. I can now begin to get better. Yesterday we visited Polesden Lacey it was an amazing party house its the early 1900's so you can imagine how beautiful it was inside. Most of the time we go for the gardens, its so nice to have a bit of fresh air and a chance to chat about silly things, chase each other and just relax a little. Unfortunately James was still working today but I was nice to just have a few hours together. After serval Latte's and chocolate brownies were staying in for a home cooked dinner and trashy telly.

Lots of Love Kate xo

Weekend Post One: Ham House

Coat - Whistles (sold out everywhere online)

Skort- Zara

Shoes - Nike Blazer

Scarf- Zara 

Most weekends James and Myself like to take little trips out, with being so crazy busy with christmas festivities we woke up Saturday morning realising we have nothing planned for just us two alone. As old couple-ish as it sounds we love walking around gardens and old English buildings learning about the history of places (hence the engagement at leeds castle). We googled what National Trust places were close to us and Ham House popped up. They have an amazing veggie soup and cute gardens to ponder around in. As sad as this sounds we actually ended getting a National Trust Membership. We go that often that it works out so much cheeper to be a member and also means we can afford more tea and cake when we get there.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Lots of Love xo

15 Random Facts TAG.

~

1. I am a baby age of 18 but everyone always seems shocked when they find out how young I am... do I need anti-ageing products already? 

2. My name is Katherine (Kate) Emily Balls, Hence the blog name of Kate-E-B. I quite possible have the worst surname know to a woman.

3. My favourite perfume is Miss Dior Cherie but I often wear Marc Jacobs Lola.

4. I'm in love with my Mulberry handbag but spent far to much money on it. This doesn't match to how much Im in love with my lil pup Eddie.

5. I work for ZARA but spend more money on the brand, than what they actually pay me.

6. I enjoy reading fantasy books, I'm naturally a nosey person so enjoy being absorbed into other peoples lives, perhaps thats why I love reading blogs about other peoples lifestyles. I call this being a straw, sucking up information about people. My fellow straw is GLAM.

7. I have a lovely boyfriend that is the opposite to me, we both fit into the stereotypical gender role, I love shopping, baking and tiding and he loves Cars, Oil and MANLY STUFF.

8. Whenever I have money, I spend it. I guess I always look nice but have no money to go anywhere.

9. My hair refuses to grow. Probably something to do with all the bleaching. I've had every hair colour possible, White, Black, Red, Orange, Blue, Purple, Blonde, Light brown THE WORKS. (except green).

10. I started a blog, to share things with other people that have the same interests as me...but I don't post often enough. I often start things but don't finish them (one of my new year resolutions to solve this issue).

11. I drive a BMW 1 series named Bernie... The best money i've ever spent.

12 .When my parents made me, they wanted me to resemble an elf... I have pointy ears.

13. This is my lucky number.

14. I have two tattoos and often forget I have them. My next one will hopefully be in a place I can see it more. One is my own writing on my body what is pretty cool (I think so).


15. I don't have a particular style I stick to, I like to mix things together to create a whole new style of mixed matched things. I'm like a pic'n'mix.

I've seen this facts about me things all over the web and love reading them. If you've done a tag please leave me a link as you would of learnt from fact 6 I love seeing other peoples lives.

A place to eat the OXO TOWER...

So this doesn't really fit into my typical 'student budget' niche, but it is defiantly somewhere to snack for a special occasion. I went last saturday for my big brothers 21st birthday.
I've been very fortunate to of eaten in several very nice places for various special occasions, but the OXO TOWER really stands up with the top.
The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed, you were aware it was a nice restaurant but you didn't feel unwelcome or that it was far to posh to relax, as soon as you walked in it had Harvey Nichols written all over it with the sweet and minimal art, and the beautiful cherry trees in the entrance
The beautiful glass windows surrounding the restaurant over looks the whole of london, giving you something to look at and a nice conversation starter.
& onto the food... my goodness it was so lovely although it was the typical posh little food it tasted fantastic, and there were lots of little presentation tricks i've seen in master chef!
The puddings were to die for and they do a set lunch menu so you don't have to be shocked when the bill arrives!
As soon as you walked in it had Harvey Nichols written all over it with the sweet and minimal art, and the beautiful cherry trees in the entrance
I just thought i'd give a good recommendation and with valentines coming up sometime you need a few ideas of how to make and evening a little bit more special.

Do you have any special occasion restaurants to recommend?
