Happy 2017 you lovely lot. I have one simple resolution this year.... Learn To Adult! I need to be a bit more healthy... a bit more motivated... and to have a bit more 'me' (as well as Adam and me) time. Bring it on! Ttfn x

It's that time year... Christmas has been and gone in the blink of an eye... some lucky souls are back at work (yay so glad to be back...hmm!)... now we're just waiting for the New Year festivities to begin and for us to see the back of a rather rubbish year. So when I got my new Bobby Pin from Crown & Glory I thought it was rather fitting.... Roll on 2017... let's make it a good 'un yeah?! Ttfn x

I’ve gotta feelin (whooo-oooh) that 2016 is going to a be a good year. Whoop! We had a great New Year seeing dad for his birthday then heading to Art & Sam’s for a few days. I’m a little bit behind with my resolutions this year – not because they’re anything amazing or deep I’m just lazy! So here goes.... 1.I AIM TO BE HEALTHIER I’m not going to write “gym” or “lose weight” cos we know that ain’t gonna happen on it’s own! I want to get back into the gym routine....eat a few more salads & less McDs....but lets’ just keep it all under the HEALTHIER KTP banner then it doesn’t sound as scary! 2.I WILL REMEMBER TO TAKE A SHOPPING BAG WITH ME WHEN WE GO OUT Yes I have one in the car but I still forget to bring it into the shops with me. So instead of paying 5p for a bag I end up trying to juggle a mountain of stuff dropping it (& yes smashing bits) on the way....when will I learn?! 3.WE WILL HAVE 1 WEEKEND A MONTH AT HOME I’m guilty of booking us ...

viola! I'm rather chuffed!   Ttfn x

Happy New Year all you lovely lot. I hope Santa was good to you & that 2015 will bring everything you wish for & more. I'm only making one resolution this year, in the wise words of Mr Johnny Cupcakes.....   Ttfn x

Yes I'm still here....yes my December photo project failed miserably....yes it's almost Chrimbo & I'm sat in Turkey wondering how on earth we're almost at the end of the year....so with all that & a bit more I'm taking a little break from my blog for now & will be back in the not too near distant future! Have an ace Chrimbo & a sparkly new year. Here's to 2015! Ttfn x

Happy 2014! I was quite chuffed with my hit rate of my last resolutions so here's to this years...... ~ UPDATE BLOG MORE REGULARLY.... I was getting into a nice swing of things till the new job came around & I got mega busy with everything! I miss posting regularly so want to make an effort to keep everything up to date but at the same time not worry if I miss a post....I'm going to start by finally sharing my Japan pics before I forget all the lovely little details of what we did when....also when I do post photos I'm going to stop posting them from my phone, the blogger app shrinks the quality & they look dreadful (says she posting a photo off her phone for this post! Yoink!) ~ KEEP OFF THE DEBT.... Nothing more to say, just stop spending! ~ KEEP UP THE GYM ROUTINE.... I got into a routine I was really enjoying by the end of the year & I'm looking forward to starting it up again tomorrow & get rid of that festive flab! ~ HAVE A ...

Well don't worry I wasn't swept away by the crowds on Oxford Street I just got swept away by Chrimbo excitement.... Just before we ring in the new year I thought I'd look back over 2013..... I started the year by thinking the '13' sounded a bit ominous but in fact it's been ace...who'd have thought I'd have a new job, 2 new stamps in my passport (Turkey & Japan - I know I know I'll post pics soon!) & (fingers crossed) a new house (not wanting to jinx this so won't go into any more detail yet!)?! So without further ado...let's see how I did with my resolutions...eep! ~ FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF Well I did pretty well over the year - I joined a gym, started spinning & kept afloat with deep water aqua aerobics all this mixed with the 5:2 diet meant I lost about a stone (probably put most of it back on now thanks to chrimbo with the folks but back to the gym on Thursday no excuses!)...that mixed with most of my jeans ripping(!) meant I d...

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 the...

New Years Eve & what better way to blast the cobwebs of last year away than a coastal cliff-top walk?! Above is our operations room where Sargent Swarbs prepared the troops for the day's plan of action. First stop was the beach again & seeing as Ross & Ola had joined us what better than a group jumping shot & a fond farewell to 2012? We then set off on a long walk to blow away the cobwebs around the coastal path. At the start of the walk Mattay had produced a beautiful wide angle lens for his little Lumix (another convert thanks to me!) & I promptly shotgunned it for the walk (cheers Mattay, it must have been the only child syndrome kicking in!), I'm totally in love with some of the results & it's definitely on my 'to buy list' & fairly near the top! The walk was stunning & we were lucky with the weather too. We finally reached the end point & after spotting a few seals it was time to head home for more toa...

Yes yes I know it's February but just take a step back in time with me to see what we got up to over New Year! Better late than never eh?! Art & I have always chatted about going away somewhere with some of the uni lot for a decent amount of time rather than just a weekend & it turned out that December 29th 2012 was that time! We booked out the whole of a youth hostel (see link HERE ) in Marloes Sands on the Pembrookshire coast in Wales for 5 days & it was brill! There were 8 of us (Art, Sam, Mattay, Bec, Ross, Ola, Adam & I) & it felt great to all be together again just like in Lufbra. Once we'd all emerged it was time to explore & next to the house was a footpath leading down to the beach & boy was it pretty. I haven't really been on many beaches when it's dull & cloudy but this kind of weather was my fave & I got some lovely shots (also the sand was damp so I didn't have to moan about sand between my toes!). Aft...
