Getting Ready for the Festive Season

Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are well and truly behind us, Sam and I decided to start getting into the festive spirit. 

We knew that lockdown 2.0 would be a bit more depressing than lockdown 1.0, with the cold and the dark nights and mornings. So we thought what the heck?! Might as well cheer up the one room we have to spend 15 hours a day in again.

We got a couple of new tree decorations this year, which I will save for a later post, as well as some new bedding not pictured here, new pyjamas courtesy of my parents, and a gorgeous gingerbread house cookie jar and cushion from Shop Disney.







I have also made a point of doing some festive menu sampling. We’ve had both the festive bake and pigs in blankets baguettes from Greggs, and I’ve had both the Terry’s Chocolate Orange and After Eight hot chocolates from Costa. Side note: the After Eight one was divine.

We’ve been trying our best to bring ourselves some festive cheer, and I think it’s worked for the most part. Now to keep it up through December.

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas- A Photo Diary

Last weekend, myself and Sam (and a few of his friends) had our first festive weekend of the year. We went to Manchester Christmas Markets for the first of many times, and on Sunday, we put up our Christmas tree and decorated the flat. It was the perfect way to start getting into the Christmas spirit. I think I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking for now, but expect plenty more Christmas content.

Wedding Guest

Last Saturday, Lee and I were invited to my friend Becky's wedding, it was great to watch her marrying the love of her life, and the day itself was beautiful.

It started off with a church ceremony and then there was a lodge reception, where the food was amazing. We had fish cakes, chicken and dauphinois potatoes, and a lime and mint cheesecake, as well as canapés, an evening buffet and sweets. It was a lovely day, and I can't thank the couple enough for inviting us.

I wore an ivory dress with flowers on, and some Crown and Glory, which received a few compliments from the other guests. It was a fun way to spend a Saturday, and the decor of the room was lovely, hence why I'm showing you all some snaps I took of it.
