From Paget Street to Pembrookshire pt3

After a lazy start & a bleary eyed farewell to Ross & Ola it was time to head out for a New Years Day walk & where better - yup you guessed it - the beach!

The weather was stunning & it felt amazing to be so far away from everything.

After the "Goodbye 2012" message the previous day we thought we'd write a "Hello 2013" in driftwood so after a few pics we decided to try a jumping shoot but this time with me in it too. Sadly I didn't have my tripod but then Art & Sam came to the rescue & built this awesome tripod / horse thing!

Mattay & I set our cameras on timer bursts & ran back & forth between jumping & clicking & I really love the end results!

While we we back at the hostel we noticed a lovely sunset so all rushed out with our cameras & clicked away.

After enjoying such a pretty sunset we decided to head down the local pub where we played cards (we weren't allowed the darts, think they were only for local people!) & enjoyed some of the local ales. As we were leaving we spotted an advert for a 12 person house about half an hour away to hire, it sounded lovely & it even has a hot tub! Think we've sorted the accommodation, so who's up for the next reunion?! My bags are already packed!

Now I want to go to the beach too! Hopefully it will become less cold again as well, so it is even more enjoyable!

I've realised the beach in winter is so much better than the summer, the sand's all wet so doesn't get in my shoes! x

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
