Manchester Hang Out

03 Jun, 2026

TODAY I'M GOING TO MANCHESTER TO SEE MARIA AND BUNNY AND MEET PRAGYA AND CHERISH!!

I've been super looking forward to this day because I'm always happy to see Maria and I was excited to see Bunny again and excited to meet Pragya and Cherish!! They seem like super awesome people :3. Maria said she wants us to meet pretty bad because we remind her of each other and have similar interests so I was sooo excited.

I was so stressed about what to wear all morning but I actually managed to land on the perfect outfit. I came up with it on the spot in the last few minutes before I had to leave, didn't even visualise it before hand, just put the pieces together and prayed. I haven't worn the top and skirt before until this point so I'm so glad they worked together with everything else. This last minute stress outfit actually just became my current favourite outfit omg.

First time wearing false eyelashes! They're clusters and took a while to put on, I wanted to do bottom lashes too but the clusters didn't look good as bottom lashes so I had to draw them on. Not my best work. I really enjoyed wearing the lashes though because I felt so :3. Whenever I felt the wind touch them or my eyelids though I felt like they were going to blow right off hahaha..!! I told my boyfriend and he said I reminded him of when he first wore lashes and thought they'd fly off from the wind too... so silly.

After arriving in Manchester I met Maria at the station and we decided to walk around Afflecks a little before our booking at Richmond Tea Rooms. We stopped at this stall called Purrrfect Cattitude and I bought a fish pen and black kitty chasing a fish ring for my friend Akira. Also got this free phone charm for following them on IG :p.

Lunch time at Richmond's Tea Room! This is where we agreed to all meet.

I absolutely loved the interior in here it was adorable... we were seated in this area that looks like it was meant to mimic a garden greenhouse / atrium

Seeing everyone from my P.O.V :p.

Since this would be my first and maybe only time here really I decided to get an afternoon tea set, however I felt a bit rushed so I didn't get to see exactly what they had in it so I got a few surprises!

The Caterpillar Afternoon Tea set was entirely vegan and included a battered tofu and nori salt 'goujon, skin-on chips, a selection of finger sandwiches, a canapé, a vegan scotch egg, a scone served with cream, and a pot of loose-leaf tea (unlimited refills).

The finger sandwiches were chickpea and cajun, cucumber and mint, and tofu scramble. I must admit the flavours of this afternoon tea were rather underwhelming and I didn't particularly enjoy the presentation but I still ate it all and am grateful for the experience!!! The tofu 'goujon' was really good and soft and yummy though...

For my pot of tea I chose their 'Blue lady' tea, which is a Chinese black tea with mallow blossom, marigold blossom, and grapefruit. It's a very light, sweet, and fruity brew!

Maria had a really yummy and cute vanilla milkshake!

A lot of conversations happened but Cherish pulled out her Makoto Yuki badge which I took a picture of to show my BF haha so cute !!

Then I found out Pragya LOVES ORV !!! ORV FAN !!! I'm always so excited to meet ORV fans... she showed me her fan fiction title that I need to read soon haha!!

We took some cute pics together of our outfits and to commemorate our awesome meet up! :3

but then had to say bye to Bunny and Pragya because they're going to go watch the TADC movie >

We went to get some bubble tea at Kissaten (I FORGOT TO TAKE PICS AGAIN...) and I got this grape flavour with jelly that was so delicious... kinda chilled around in there for a bit until my train and it was time to say bye >< !! Maria gave me the birthday card she made me and my gift which I'll upload to my birthday gifts showcase blog hehe...

I had such a fun day and honestly and everyone was so lovely and silly and sweet!! I'd love to see everyone again :3.

On the train back I got a message saying I got accepted into my mutual's gyarusa!! I'm so so happy :D !! Can't wait to meet everyone and be gal together ^_< !
