I alternate between two different ways of using technology when I’m on holiday: not at all vs. all the time – I’m a person of extremes, I guess! In the earlier years of our relationship, when Ben was working and I was still at school or uni, I did a few big trips with my…
Hope you’re all enjoying the super sunny weather! It’s not exactly ideal today considering that I’m stuck in the office, but at least we got to enjoy it over the weekend. I spent Friday night at the pub with Ben’s sister (one of my bridesmaids!) and her boyfriend, Saturday in the garden with a book…
I talked recently about how we’re already starting to plan our honeymoon, despite not even having everything booked for the wedding yet, eek! We’ve decided that we won’t be going immediately after the wedding in May as we’re getting married on a Bank Holiday weekend and it’ll be May half term afterwards. Since we don’t…
We’re only part way through planning the wedding (I’ve got a lot of posts on that to come soon!) but I’m already starting to think about the next step: Honeymoon! Having just come back from Florida (and I’ve got loooads to post about that soon too!) and having no more holidays booked now, we’re thinking…
Sorry to anyone who’s now singing “Whhooaaa, we’re halfway there, WHOOAA, living on a prayer” like I am thanks to that title ;D I’ve mentioned a few times in posts recently about how we’re slowly working on our house, with the kitchen being one of our priorities lately. When we moved in, the kitchen was…
People consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home for a good reason. Regardless of how big or small your kitchen might be, everyone seems to congregate within the kitchen when they want to get together. A kitchen can also serve a multitude of functions. Besides being a place in which you can…
So wedding planning has officially started – eek! I may not yet be very experienced in the process of planning a wedding, but I’m already starting to pick up tips, plus I want to keep a bit of a diary of how it’s going ahead every so often on the blog too. I’m going to…
I did say that some of my Style Challenge photos wouldn’t be of brilliant quality! And don’t worry, Ben and I have had words about how he needs to not rush when he’s taking photos for me so that I get actual usable ones ;D But at least I managed to get some sort of…
I haven’t even finished writing about my travels in 2016 (my UK road trip posts are just on pause over the festive period!), and I’m already thinking about travel plans for 2017! Travelling is something I love to do – it gives me a break from daily routine and gives me the opportunity to explore…
The absolute highlight of mine and Ben’s UK road trip was visiting Rick Stein’s The Seafood Restaurant and staying in the hotel there. The morning of my birthday, after we’d stayed the night there, we had breakfast in the restaurant included in our stay. After the big meal the night before plus the fact that I…
It’s book review time! I’m failing a little bit on my Goodreads challenge at the moment – I get up to date with it, then have a busy few days and drop back a book or two. Very frustrating as I’m determined to reach it this year! Nevertheless, reading isn’t about meeting goals – it’s…
I hinted at the end of my last post about the accommodation we had for the night at the end of Day 3 of our trip, and here it is: a Shepherd’s Hut in the Exmoor National Park (book it here!). This was one of the very first Airbnbs we looked at, and we really took the…
