Unfortunately i could only get flights home the day before my birthday due to an intense term at university in Milan. However, it felt like the perfect time to return home! I landed and met my mum, dad, and twin brother. I miss them so much when i'm away so it was great to return home with a celebration! The following Saturday my brother and i celebrated with our closest friends in York - I had the most amazing time and was a real reminder of how sweet home really is.
Although i'm loving my time in Italy, there are certain things you just can't get like you can at home...

For the Easter holidays i had a whole three weeks off so needed to fill my time with some form of work or at least searching for placements for the near future. I managed to get myself a weeks paid placement at a company called Sirdar. They are a company that specialises in hand knitting yarns and have been established since 1880. It was a real pleasure to work for the company as i am really into textiles and knitting is a new skill i have become obsessed with. During my time at Sirdar, i was set the task of producing yarn rosettes for presenter displays. Once i had made the rosettes i then arranged them in the according presenters ready for display for a meeting with John Lewis at the end of the week. It was an amazing opportunity to work as part of a team in a working environment and experience real business in the fast pased fashion industry. Whilst working with the company i gained a real insight into each department that is the foundation of Sirdar and how demands from each department are equally as important to keep the company running at full speed and of high quality.
