Happy New Year!

We hope you're feeling full of christmas joy, food and merriness after the lovely, wonderful festive period! Although we're still holding onto Christmas, it's time to welcome in 2016 and a brand new shiny year!

We look forward to the highs and lows which will come in the new year, and hope that worldwide, less atrocities and disasters occur, moving into a safer, and happier 2016!

Our New Year's resolutions are written, goals for the year ahead are clear and we hope you all have a wonderful and safe night welcoming in 2016!

Shine shine shine! Love A&f x

That's a wrap

On Thursday afternoon we swapped our usual Starbucks setting for the windy banks of the Thames alongside the o2 arena, overlooking the beautiful Canary Wharf.

As part of an application for an upcoming competition we had to shoot a 60 second video about Attollo.




We met up with Elly and her boyfriend, Will who very kindly put their afternoon aside to film us giggle and babble our way through filming.

In fairness the next door building site (and peeping, spying builders), in addition to overhead planes did not help.

So we filled those little gaps with selfie's. Many failed attempts it turns out! 

"Oh crap, can you see my spot!??"

"No babe, it's fine"

After an hour, we finally nailed the 'not-so-difficult'- 60 second script. 

It's a wrap! We can't wait to see the final cut!

Birthday Celebrations

The past year has been a juggling act between our double lives; undergraduate students & Attollo.

Like many of us, we need 25 hours, 8 days a week to get everything done. Celebrating and taking time to pause and reflect hasn't really occurred.

We are changing this!

It started with Thailand, then with our mini Santander celebration and now birthdays. Alice's birthday!! 22 here we come....(the official soundtrack for the day)

We started the day with a not so boring, and in fact very lively bank meeting. Even got birthday drinks and freebies on the house in celebration! 

Meeting done. Cake time.

We ventured around Borough market devouring a couple of rather naughty brownies from Konditor and Cook. 

The ran came down on us so we took shelter under Neal's Yard's umbrellas. 

After a quick phone meeting with our mentor, and brief birthday chitter chatter, we went to Bea's of Bloomsbury to devour these bad boys..

Cake quickly got the better of us and we slipped into a cake coma....

A few hours later we climbed up the beautiful Shard....

...to be joined by Elly...

...and Adelice...

Check out the view...

We definitely got quite merry courtesy of their amazing bar, wine prices and barman..... (a glass of wine for £4.50!)

Midnight came and (via some late night chicken nuggets) we raced to make our last tubes home. An amazing and wonderful day.
