I’m currently sat on my sofa under the coziest blanket I own, with two snoring (and dreaming – twitchy paws!) kittens either side of me as the snow falls outside. I was perusing the internet on my laptop …which led to me placing a somewhat extravagant madewell order… and clicked my way across here, to […]
So, things right now are…. odd. ‘Unprecedented‘ is the word everyone is throwing about. Almost every email or text that pings through starts with a sentence about how weird life is at the moment. Everywhere you look you’re reminded that we’re in the middle of a global crisis. It’s really tough to strike the right […]
I can’t quite believe I’m writing this post, it feels like it’s been a long time coming, but we have bought our first home! Argh! I feel like over the last 6 months we’ve felt all the emotions – excitement, happiness, fear, stress, disappointment, relief… all of it! But we are finally in, and I’m […]
Today was the perfect lazy sunday! We had a slow start, and once we were up and dressed we pulled on our cozy coats and wellies and headed to our local national trust property for a wander. As soon as we arrived, we grabbed hot drinks (a hot chocolate with all the trimmings is the […]
Meet Meier! (pronounced Maya – her first cat dad has Swiss-German roots, and she’s named after his old neighbour!). Meier is a Lilac British Shorthair – I’ve always really wanted a shorthair – ever since watching the McVities advert really. Their teddybear looks and sweet easy-going nature made me fall in love with them. I […]
We did it!! After 20 long months of planning, Aled and I finally got married this month! It was the BEST DAY ever. We had perfect weather, everyone we love was there, and everything went to plan. We got married at a beautiful converted barn in Bedfordshire. To be honest, it was a bit over […]
After staying in education for as long as humanly possible, I can finally say I am no longer a student! Aled and I both graduated this weekend, and we are now officially doctors! Yay! Cambridge graduations are an experience in themselves… A brief description: we met in the senior common room at our college (we […]
Happy Sunday!! I haven’t posted on here for a whiiiiiiiile. I blame it on wedding planning & honeymoon dreaming. Honestly, every weekend these pass few months has been meeting with suppliers / designing table signs / and writing endless to-do lists! But now that the weather is (maybe, for now) looking a little nicer, we’re […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I can’t quite believe I’m writing this post…. how is it the end of 2017 already?!? This year has FLOWN by. I got to travel to some pretty wonderful places… This year has been pretty awesome for travel. We started the year in the Lake District, where we were treated to beautiful […]
Back in October last year, Aled proposed! We’re going for quite a long engagement because we’re both finishing our PhDs right now, so we don’t have a huuuuge amount of free time. And as someone who loves planning and researching and organising things, I want to relish in all of it (hehe). So, 9 months […]
