SUN & SAND

Just a couple of snaps from our day at the beach at the weekend. It's one of those days that i've been meaning to do for so long...

JUNE




















It's all gone a little quiet over here in my blog world, but I seem to be too busy taking the photo's, and not getting round to uploading them! June has been a very jam packed month, with a road trip to the Lakes, a short trip to Copenhagen (which I have only just got round to looking at the photo's) trips into town, meals with friends and lot's off planning with our house. I got the paint brush out again which always ends in disaster. So after one failed attempt at painting the wall blue (!!!) it is now back white, but I have the odd few signs that the blue is still around (sorry carpet) 
As usual Si and I have been debating the big old 'life' question mark, and have constantly been going round in circles with what is the next step for us...I'm sure there isn't ever supposed to be an answer, but we are still searching. July is off to a sunny bang with a very special wedding last week and I finally jumped on the Ipad wagon! But for now, I am looking forward to spending all my time in Brighton this Summer. Bring it on.

The above photo was taken the other week in Copenhagen, and I am looking forward to getting some photo's up soon

I feel like I am playing major catch up at the moment with all my photos, but I can't complain, I've been a busy bee, and looking forward to sharing a few more adventures with you all....

PIZZA NAAN

Sometimes I think I might just be weird when I throw random leftover food together at the end of the week to make an edible meal, but it turns out i'm not so weird at all...

FROM THE WEEKEND // BIKE RIDING & PICNICS




















The sun finally made an appearance this weekend, so of course being classic Brits, we packed up the hamper got into the car with some friends and drove into the country to make the most of what England has to offer. It's funny how just in that second the sun beats down on your skin, the dreadful, long cold Winter disappears along with all of your worries and you fall head over heels again with everything around you. It was so much fun to have the first picnic of the year, and I can't wait for many more this summer.
Sunday was spent bike riding in my first charity event this year, and it really was tough. A lot tougher than I was expecting, and with a diverse route taking us 40 miles over the Sussex downs, it felt like such an accomplishment when I had finished. The heat didn't help, but the views and weather kept me going for sure. Now for a little more training before the London to Brighton in 3 weeks time!

FROM THE WEEKEND // HOME LOVING

weekend snaps #1.jpg

After a busy few weeks it was amazing not having much on the agenda. Apart from seeing some family throughout the weekend, it mainly consisted off not doing an awful lot, and I mean that. I spent the majority of it lazing around the house, putting off all the chores and eating eggs for dinner ^^^

We have also finally received plans for our new extension, so I am currently in pin heaven, frantically working out how to decorate the damn thing. But one step at a time, the plans need to go in to get approved and we then hope to start at the end of the summer, so we at least have a liveable garden to host BBQ's and parties throughout the season. I am also looking forward to sharing the renovation process and ideas here on the blog, and I will say it again, I am SO happy pinterest is in my life this time around. So make sure you go and follow me here

BUSY

It's been a while, a very long while but I think I am ready to pick my camera up and get going on this old blogging thing again! It seems the more I do, the more daunting it seems to try and catch up with everything, so I just keep putting it off. These past few months have been super busy. I have been settling into my new job, which I love, and generally fitting in as much as I possibly can, with seeing friends and family, spending quality time with Si and spending some time away. I love to travel, and will be sharing some recent adventures very soon, but I also just can't wait for this summer to arrive so the real adventures can begin :)

#WISE WORDS 3

adventure is waiting

With a new year and a new lease of life it's time to start planning and thinking of all the adventures we are going to take this year, however big and small. We are planning a few jaunts abroad and I am currently deep in internet research to figure out where this will be. But we are also planning to explore and take random road trips around sussex and the south coast, because I forget to appreciate the amount of beautiful places we have just on our door step.

So 2014 we are coming at ya!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LETS TAKE IT UP A NOTCH

a happy new year

I am usually a massive resolution and an obsessive list maker, but I am fighting my urges this year as the whole thing just overwhelms me. All I know is that I am doing as my new diary says and will be 'taking it up a notch'
I kinda like it and is a simple mentality to make this year better than the last. I know I have lots that I want to achieve, do and see, but I think I will jot a few things down and believe that I will do them.

On an even brighter note, I received a phone call on New Years Eve offering me a fantastic job opportunity, which of course I said yes to, so I will be starting in a few short weeks!

It's going to be a good year, Happy new year to you all!
