a festive evening

I love me some Christmas over here, so I couldn’t wait to go and get the tree and get cracking with the decs. After waiting patiently all day Saturday (or not so) for Si to finish work, we ran out of time, so we spent Sunday afternoon searching for our perfect little tree. For some reason we passed a cute little area, at the side of the country road selling trees, and headed straight for B&Q, where I immediately felt guilty for giving my money to them, and not the little business on the side of the road. So I have given myself a mental slap, and have promised myself that I will not do the same next year. (Promise)

We spent the evening hanging fairy lights, watching Elf and talking about how we just can’t wait to Christmas this year. That’s right, I have officially turned Si into a Christmas lover, and I couldn’t be more excited to spend it together again.

a birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Si's 25th Birthday. I honestly don't know where the time has gone. We started dating the week he turned 18, and a lot has happened since then! but we made it! We are here at the grand old age of 25 (for some reason I really see this age as a big deal, like come on we are 25!!)

ahhh, anyway, we celebrated the day with birthday croissants, special pack lunches, party hats, presents, cake and lots of spicy food. Oh and a few glasses of vino for good measure!

Happy Birthday (for yesterday) my love, I never imagined back then that I would be celebrating this birthday with you, but my god, I am so glad we are. I love you so very much! Until the next one x

the last of Autumn

Last weekend I was desperate to get out and run about in all the leaves before they all disappeared. So we headed into the forest to make the most of the mild, sunny day. It was mucho fun!

It’s been kind of quiet over here though, snuggling in after work, drinking lots of warm ribena and preparing for Christmas. Most of my presents have been bought, and I just can’ wait till next Saturday (the 1^st) so we can go out and pick our tree and get into the swing of the festive season. (I may just be too excited about the whole Christmas thing)

Have a great weekend!

a few more from australia

I was just flicking through all my Australia photos (which I can't believe was nearly 6 months ago!!!) and was wishing for warm weather and sand at my feet, when I realised I haven’t shared my pictures from our weekend boat trip around the Whitsundays.

We spent the first afternoon and evening heading into the heart of the Whitsundays and getting to know our boat family over a few glasses of wine and barbequed fish, before bedding down for the night on the deck. We where awoken at 6.30am to the sounds of gentle music, to be greeted with the most spectacular sunrise over the ocean. We then proceeded with a morning swim to shore and landed on the gorgeous Whitehaven beach, for more fun in the sun. After lunch we snorkelled in the Great Barrier reef (I spotted a lone turtle) and partied the night away on deck, to then repeat the next day before heading back to shore. It was by far the most chilled out and furthest away from reality I have ever felt, and it’s a weekend I won’t forget in a hurry.
