Cooooeeeeee, I’m still here!

Hello all, believe it or not I’m still knocking around, just been pre-occupied with little things, such as our WEDDING last Friday, and our honeymoon this past week 😉 Adam and I had the most fantastic day, one that I’m sure I’ll bore the tits off you with in a post when all of our photos come back. It sounds cheesy, but it did actually end up being one of the best days of our lives. I wasn’t expecting that, as I’m a bit of a control freak by nature, so wasn’t sure if the logistics of our day would go to plan and I’d be worrying about them, and about everyone having a good time, but they did, and I actually really relaxed and let my hair down! We’re so lucky to have so many great people in our lives 🙂

Adam and I have spent most of this past week in Venice, which is now officially my favourite city. I have gained half a stone, what with all the pasta, pizza and copious amounts of red wine consumed, but it has been worth every mouthful. Again, I’m sure another post on Venice will be in the offing!

This is a little post, as I’m still officially on holiday mode because we are off to Butlins Minehead tomorrow for our second Blog Ambassador trip, and I genuinely can’t wait! We had such a good time last October in Bognor (I never thought ‘Bognor’ and ‘Good time’ would be uttered in the same sentence). Whilst we are there, decorators are taking over our house to finish off the new loft conversion and hall/stairs/landing, and I’m looking forward to not living in chaos for too much longer. It’s been nice to have a little break from blogging, and really relax and be off social media more than usual. I will be having a SERIOUS catch up of all my favourite blogs soon. I am out of the loop but it’s definitely good for the soul to be more in ‘real life’ than a virtual one for a bit. Has given me a bit of food for thought.

I’ll be posting more on Twitter, FB and IG this next week sharing what we’re up to at Butlins, but apart from that normal blog service will resume next Monday. See you then! 

PS Thanks to everyone who has voted for me in the MAD Blog Awards- we don’t find out the results until September, but your support means a lot to me!

Snaps from Dorset

Posted on November 2, 2016May 2, 2025

Last week we descended on Corfe Castle in Dorset for 5 days in  half term to celebrate slightly early my Father-in-law’s 70th birthday. We were so lucky that my in-laws decided to treat our family, plus Adam’s brothers and their families, to a stay in what I can honestly say…

Sasha’s 7th Birthday

Posted on May 12, 2019January 3, 2022

May can’t go by without acknowledging a certain someones’ birthday… and she certainly won’t let you forget even if you tried! On Friday Sasha turned 7, something she’s been looking forward to for months, as apparently as one of the younger ones in her class it sucks having to wait…

Easter etc

Posted on April 22, 2014July 1, 2026

Good Easter folks? In all honesty, it felt a little bit ‘meh’ here. We had an amazing feast at my Mum’s on Easter Sunday which was lovely, and a much-needed day out yesterday, but the rest, just a smidge, ‘meh’. I was nursing an outrageous hangover on Good Friday, thanks…
