a few from easter weekend

This weekend has been filled with way too much time on our hands. Si took the bank holiday off as well, and we got to spend 4 whole days together {today still being one, and we have no idea what to do} The great British weather has, of course, given us a weekend full off the cold and rain, with only a splash of sun on Friday.

We haven’t been up to a great deal, lunching out, eating rubbish, catching up on the current season of Homeland {please tell me someone is also watching this? I am loving it so far} and redesigning my office space {photos to come} my dreams also came true thanks to my bestie Harriet. She took me to the newly opened Harry Potter world for my birthday {which is in a few weeks} so I will post my pictures later in the week.

So I am off to rack my brains with what to do today. I am thinking baking, Harry Potter and bowling…we will see. 

this sunday has mostly involved

......

plenty of food

These kiddos

and this special little dudeface

I have had such a lovely weekend spending it with family and friends and getting my chillax on big time. I found myself watching 'Alfie' late on my own on Saturday night reliving my love for Jude Law {that man, phwooar}We had a gorgeous afternoon tea for Si's nanas birthday and we went for a sunset stroll on the cliffs resulting in a impromptu photo shoot, involving many accidental bum shots and lots of laughter.
I also spent the majority off my time playing around with the mac and made some Movie trailers to get to grips with the thing. So check out my romantic comedy trailer {ft Si and I} A girlie film {ft my nieces} and a holiday season film {ft my friends}

enjoy.

{how cheesey am I ^}

weekend

Did anyone else notice that big bright thing in the sky over the weekend? Again I think I over estimated how hot it actually was, I don't think I should of got the pumps out just yet, but it was actually a lovely day {for feb}

Brighton is so gorgeous when the sun is out, and a walk along the seafront is always in order. It's got me so excited for spring now {hurry, hurry]

Hope everyone's weekend was tremend!

girl time

I spent the weekend in London with my lovely jubbly friends for 'Harriet's' Birthday. We drank loads, reminisced, sang a lot, gossiped, ate loads and generally had a fantastic time together.

AND IT SNOWED. YIPPEE!

I'm afraid there is no snow related, drunken mess mishaps to report on though.

How was everyone's weekend?

weekend blues

So the weekend is over. ALREADY? time does fly when you're having fun! I had one of the best weekends for a while, and what better way than to capture it all with instagram.

On Saturday after a stroll through town we FINALLY found somewhere to eat {okay so I am ultra fussy, sorry Si}

I popped home quickly to see the parents...and of course to see my little doggy pudding.

The girls came round Saturday night for pizza, cookies and old films.

We were up early Sunday morning for a cooked brekkie, and then we headed into town to be tourists for the day, and for more tea and scones.

I became a cool dude.

We strolled round all the shops and found some new records

and I annoyed Si {as usual}

What did everyone else get up to?

Romeo and Juliet

I got dragged along to the Ballet last night by my Mother dear. It's not really my thing, but you can't pass up a free ticket now can you! For one I didn't really understand what was going on. I kept imagining Leo Dicaprio, and made me realise I do need to buy the film on DVD, like how good is that film. So would I recommend     'The Ballet' Well why not, you have to go once in your life, but I think I will save my next trip for when I have more wrinkles :)

burning the clocks

Oh Christmas lights {or lanterns in this case}oh how you make my heart beat, and put a big smile on my face, you do know how to put me in a good mood and get me excited for Christmas! {And you, little sweet, warm, sugary donuts, I love you to, you made my night complete}

a thursday night

What better way to spend a Thursday night than an evening stroll through the Brighton Lanes, taking in the pretty Christmas lights, and popping into the cute shops open late? We stumbled across a late night Christmas opening at Jack Wills and indulged in free cupcakes and real ale, whilst wishing we had the money to splash out on some new winter woollies. It’s the first time I have been into town since the lights have been put up, and there is no place more magical than Christmas in the Lanes. Last stop had to be, a cosy, warm pub to kick back around the log fire. Bliss.  

highs and lows

high

Afternoon tea, I just can’t get enough of it. We decided to be civilised and grown up {cough cough} and celebrated Zoey’s 24^th with a trip to The Grand Hotel, along Brighton seafront. We also had baby Freddie in tow, for his first {of many} girlie gatherings. The mellow sounds of the piano played in the background, whilst we caught up on the gossip, sipped tea and ate bundles of cakes. I had just about got over my awful hangover from the night before, so scoffed down plenty of cucumber sandwiches and scones.

Low

No Sunday run for me this weekend though {slaps wrist} I was incredibly hung-over and the thought of eating, let alone moving was enough to make me feel sick. I blame the restaurant/bar we ate in the night before. No seriously I do. I was going to post a review about the evening’s meal etc, but it was so terrible, so I will post a quick rant. We ate in Madame Geisha, down the lanes in Brighton.

We did bear in mind we booked under a Groupon voucher, but, you still expect your food to be cooked, right? After waiting a time for our starters, they brought us over a complimentary cocktail {our 3^rd of the night} due to the delay in our food. When our mains finally came out, we took a few bites, and then I spotted a huge piece of pink chicken in my Thai green curry. We noticed Si’s meal was the same, so we immediately sent them back {the first time I have ever had to do that in my life} round 2 came. Pink again. We couldn’t actually believe it, so we refused to have the food or anything else for that matter {bear in mind, I wouldn’t normally say boo to a goose, as I don’t like confrontation or complaining} so they obliged and took the food away. We had a problem though, normally you would just not pay for the food, but we had already paid via Groupon. So we reached a solution that we would swap the food for alcohol, and ended up partying in the bar/club section with free cocktails, shots and bottles of wine, ON AN EMTPY STOMACH. Urrrghhhhh, I did not feel good when I got home or in the morning. So, yes I do blame the restaurant {you believe me right?} I leave you with some life advice that I hope you carry with you from now on...

1.      DON’T eat at Madame Geisha, Brighton

2.      DON’T drink on an empty stomach {I can’t believe no one ever told me before}
