Weekend Adventuring

Technically this was a little Monday adventuring but seeing as I had to work all weekend and it was a bank holiday so I think that it still counts. The weather looked deceptively nice so we headed out for a walk through the park. It wasn't long before we were fed up of battling the wind though so we headed back inside and cuddled up watching movies and playing computer games. We had fun whilst we were out although I must admit that it was Matt that took the photo of the squirrel. I managed to convince myself that the squirrel was much too close and therefore likely to attack us so I slowly backed away while Matt happily snapped pictures. It was a nice little walk outside and unsurprisingly there were no squirrel attacks!

Weekend Adventuring

 

We finally had a chance to have a proper Sunday adventure. It was perfect. A walk up on the hills surrounding Bath, walking hand in hand and talking about the future. I cherish the time I get with Matt away from the distractions of day to day life. The time that we can spend talking about where we're heading, what we want and the things we are waiting for.

Time in nature with this man at my side never fails to reinvigorate my very being.

London Weekend

 

 

Last weekend we headed up to London for a couple of days and it was so much fun. I've been working more weekends recently so Matt and I haven't had much time together and the number of adventures have declined massively. We really needed this weekend together! We met up with his family who we haven't seen in much too long and had a good catch up. The weekend included good food, visits to the V&A and the British Museum and lots of walks through the city. To be honest it was just so nice to be somewhere new with Matt. I'm not sure when I'll get a weekend off again but we've already booked our next adventure, a getaway to Belfast in June to visit friends.

The Gift of Photos...

 

 

 

I always find it difficult to buy presents for my friends who are expecting babies. I can shop for baby stuff all day long but finding something that is for the adults is a little more tough. For my friends Jamie and Tash I decided to take a couple of photos of them. They both enjoy taking photos and I thought they might like having some photos of the two of them before they become a family of three. It was fun to have something different to take photos of for once and although I know they're not the best pictures ever the main thing is their love for each other and their unborn daughter are shining through in them. She's due in just over a week now and I can't wait to see her.

Wales...

We're back from our adventure in Wales now. It has been a busy week off but I've enjoyed every second of it. We drove up to Wales on Thursday, stopping at Tredegar House on the way for a picnic. I love breaking up a journey with a stroll outside and a mini adventure.

Our few days in Wales involved a castle, a beach, lots of relaxing and catching up. It was awesome even if the weather didn't want to co operate. You don't need sunshine to have a good time. Our trip to Wales ended Sunday and we headed back to Bath wishing our time off would last a little longer...

Our Trip to Cornwall

We set of from Bath on Saturday and decided to stop at Killerton to have a little packed lunch and break up the journey some what. Unfortunately it started to rain not long after we got there but we still had our picnic, wandered around the grounds and took photos of flowers (a theme of our trip).

The evening was dedicated to catching up, eating good food and generally having a nice time. The weather Sunday was still looking a little suspect so we decided to head to the Eden Project. I’d never been before so I was pretty excited and it definitely did not disappoint. We spent the entire day there, wandering around and taking photos.

After the Eden Project we headed out to dinner at a lovely place right on the beach before getting an early night. I was so worn out!

Speaking of worn out, I'm pretty tired right now so I think I'll post the rest of our Cornish adventures tomorrow. Hope you all don't mind.

This weekend was lovely. We spent Saturday walking along the canal and being tourists in our own city, eating ice cream for lunch and generally being silly. It was awesome. It was also the 9 month mark of our marriage. I can't believe we're three quarters of the way through our first year. It's going so fast! Sunday saw us heading to Lacock Abbey for their bee and honey day after waiting for a thunderstorm to pass. The day ended up being really warm and although the events of the honey day weren't great, Lacock was lovely as always. We spent a lot of time wandering the grounds and enjoying the unexpected sunshine.

The Weekend...

This weekend was a quiet one. I was working both days but there was some time left over for cups of tea, Olympic viewing (I'm obsessed) and board games together. We spent hours one evening playing board games. I love the opportunity they give us to chat and hang out without a screen in front of us and I also enjoy a little healthy competition. Although I nearly always lose.
