Life Lately #59



April 29, 2015

I’d love to say I’ve been up to lots of stuff, but not really! I worked on Saturday as we had a workshop to put on, and then saw a whole lot of Sarah, Carl and Cecelia, which was nice to hang out with them. We went to the Ale house for drinks Saturday night, and had a tapas feast Sunday, where I had the best whisky cake, I could drink the sauce it came with on it’s own.
That little baby pictured up there is my cousin’s newest addition to their family, little miss Avery! They are in Washington so I don’t get to see them very often, but I can’t wait to meet her. My Mom is flying out in a couple weeks to go see everyone, and to say I’m jealous would be an understatement. I’ll have to settle for all the pictures she’s been sending me. Probably my biggest excitement this week has been getting a new phone! I’ve never been one to need the latest phones, I tend to go by the “if it’s not broke why fix it/replace it” philosophy. I had my iPhone 4 since the day I moved to England, four and a half years ago. It was starting to freeze up though, so it was time for a new one. I got a shiny new silver 6 in the post on Monday and have been loving it.
I don’t take a lot of selfies, but I took this one with my new phone to send to my mom so she could see how much brighter I’ve gone with my hair, the camera on the 6 is a lot truer to colour than my old one! Possibly because it’s a million times better all around. I also snagged these popsicle molds at the pound shop of all places! I love blending up smoothies and freezing them for hot days. There’s some pretty awesome sounding cocktail popsicle recipes floating around I might try too. If you’ve got any good ones, send them my way.
Not pictured (yet!) are some shiny gold leggings I purchased to make a costume with, we are having a superhero and villains party on Saturday night at our house. Any reason for a party with friends, dressing up is just a bonus.
Does anyone have any fun plans this weekend?

These two have been thick as thieves today chasing These two have been thick as thieves today chasing each other round the house, cornering ants and looking for birds in the window. Sometimes they want nothing to do with each other (well, Claude wants to get away from Remy) so it’s cute when they pal around.

On the opposite side to the amenities at Clumber Park there is a huge woodland with seemingly unlimited different paths you can take. We are so lucky to have this gorgeous place to close by.

Absolutely over the moon with our new kitchen isla Absolutely over the moon with our new kitchen island worktop and tap combo (swipe for the very fiery before). We also got a new bin unit behind it and used the same piece of wood. It just brightens up the kitchen and makes it feel more homey! Now to get rid of that wallpaper...

No it’s not Stonehenge, it’s The Druids temple No it’s not Stonehenge, it’s The Druids temple (or William Danby’s folley) in Ripon. It’s said that wealthy landowner William Danby hired local workers to build this not so prehistorical stone circle to help with unemployment in the area. It’s set on the grounds of Swinton Estate with some walking paths with sweeping views over a reservoir and the valley. There’s also amazingly cute cabins we want to stay in once we are able to again!
