happy bank holiday weekend!

I have a long weekend off work filled with family, friends and reading newspapers in bed

Mr G gets back tomorrow 

and my face is beaming just thinking about meeting him from the airport. 

Honestly 4 weeks is far too long to be apart!

I'm sorry i haven't post in a long time, i have been so distracted with my new job and i am eagerly awaiting to get my camera back from G so i can take lots more photos and share them here. 

But i also can't wait to show you G's photos from Norway,

 I've seen a few and they're truly stunning.  

On another note my wonderful, talented, beautiful and inspiring big sister has just opened a shop selling her stunning photographs.

 I can't tell you enough how talented she is. 

Please check out her shop and follow her on facebook.

                     Here are some photos of my past week walking around London. The sun has been shining,  and its made everyone has a little spring in their step. 

I am soon to be starting a new job, so with this week off i'm making the most of it and enjoying the sunshine with family and friends. 

Lots of exciting things have been happening recently. 

Glen went away to Norway with work, in fact he's still there. And i really can't wait for him to come back! He's there for 4 weeks, so hopefully in that time he would have taken some amazing photos, which i'll be sure to share here. 

I hope it's sunny where you are too! 

let's all enjoy it while it lasts! 

a good start to a good week

weekend goodies

this weekend has been just what we needed.

We spent time laughing with friends, going to see our friends band play, a little trip to the seaside, lazy coffee dates and we even managed to cram in a couple of trips to the cinema.

That being said you must see Crazy Heart. I can't get enough of the soundtrack, I was so pleased to hear that Jeff Bridges is just as a good singer as he is actor.

At the moment I am listening to the beach house perform on LA BLOGOTHÈQUE.  

Their music is so dreamy and perfect for a sunday evening.

Weekend dates

This weekend Glen and I checked out Pizza East in Shoreditch. The cocktails were flowing and although we didn't actually order pizza (I had lamb cutlets and glen had the biggest steak i've ever seen!) the food was delicious and not too expensive. The building's an old warehouse and now with it's stripped wooden floors, divine chandeliers and huge windows overlooking trendy shoreditch, it feels warm yet unique.

It’s defiantly worth a visit. I’ve already planned a trip back with friends next week, i can’t wait to share this place (and the cocktails) with them.

another video to share

I've just got back from a very busy couple of days away, and on my return i saw this. How much do you love Zooey and her dance moves! She looks so cute.

It's such a brilliant music video and the song puts a huge smile on my face too!

Oh and happy St Patrick's day people, i hope you've had a good one!

I heart Friday

I'm spending this weekend relaxing, baking, catching up with friends, reading and babysitting my gorgeous 5 month old nephew.
I hope you all have a lovely one whatever you get up to.
Fingers crossed the weather stays nice and we can all enjoy playing in the park!
