The world through my eyes, via Instagram!

During a very productive shopping trip {naughty, I know} I came across this gorgeous set of underwear.
I think this could possibly be the most adorable lingerie I have ever owned. Do you like it?
Bra: £6.00, Primark.
Knickers: £4.00, Primark.
Bargain, right?

Those who know me well will know that I absolutely cannot resist a fruity tea!
It has gotten to the point where my employees are also aware of this fact, and thus, I often come into work to find an adorable little labelled tea waiting for me on my desk..how sweet?
Fruit tea lovers, visit The Baltic Triangle’s Unit 51. They have the best selection in the whole wide world.

Ever since our engagement, Michael and I have been eagerly scoping out the most delightful bits and pieces for our bottom drawer {which has quickly overtaken my entire bedroom, much to my mum’s horror}.
I am so blessed to have a Grandma who is, quite honestly, a genius when combined with her sewing machine.
So, with this in mind, we decided to take a somewhat obligatory trip to Cath Kidston. Known for her generous range of beautiful fabrics, we knew that we could rely on Cath Kidston to provide some gorgeous fabrics, with which we would make a selection of scatter cushions, table cloths and napkins for our future home.
However, we were faced with quite the dilemma; ALL of the fabrics are simply beautiful. I am particularly fond of the “Garden Birds Cotton Duck” cloth. Do you have a favourite? We need help!

Michael’s mum is a truly marvellous baker, and she often calls on me to lend a hand in the kitchen, which I absolutely love. Until I met Gill, I was a disaster in the kitchen. With thanks to her kindness, persistence and faith in me, I am getting better by the day. One particular Sunday, whilst we were busily baking away in the kitchen, she asked me if I’d like to go and pick some blueberries from the garden. They looked far too pretty to not take a picture!! What is your favourite thing to bake?

There is no other explanation for this picture than my love for the Georgian Town Houses of Liverpool. They are just so pretty.
I often find myself dreamily imagining Michael and I living in one; with the windows overcome with Cacti and other pretty house plants.

Upon returning to the UK from our delightful Greek adventure, Michael and I were feeling truly ghastly. I can always rely on my best friend Alison to give my spirits a much-needed boost.
If you have not already experienced the wonder of a Hot Chocolate a-la Costa, perfectly paired with freshly whipped cream and marshmallows, you are yet to live!

We are fast approaching the time of year when the beautiful flowers of the summer disappear for a season or two.
For that reason, I couldn’t resist taking a couple of photographs of the prettiest flowers in my garden.
Although I adore Autumn/Winter, I sure do miss the beautiful flowers of summer.

It has taken me two years to grow my bob out.
Now, with my hair flowing down my back, I cannot help but miss my choppy do.
What do you guys think? Should I opt for the chop?

We have finally approached the time of the year when winter coats must be hunted down and recovered from the mysterious depths of the wardrobe.
Although I love the feeling of wrapping up, feeling cold makes me miserable.
This picture certainly captures the essence of my horror upon discovering that my new office is absolutely freezing at this time of the year.

Despite my imminent-winter-induced blues, there’s nothing quite like a cup of tea, Hershey’s treat, a great magazine {Open Magazine, of course} and some wonderful music to lift ones spirits!

Some more of the summer’s most beautiful flowers. So much YELLOW!

Thanks to my fiance’s very generous Dad, Michael and I ventured to the Royal Court Theatre to watch “Noises Off” last Monday evening.
There’s nothing quite like a theatre trip at this time of the year, is there?

And just two days later, we were off to the Lantern Theatre to see “United We Stand”, which is a truly remarkable performance. Certainly worth a visit!

My morning drive to work generally consists of pit-stops to photograph the prettiest town houses. I just love the red doors!
If you had a town house, what colour would you paint your door? I think i’d go for a shade of pistachio!

This picture was taken during our first Greek adventure last year, but I couldn’t resist sharing it with my lovely Instagram followers.
I’d give anything to sit on that balcony listening to the idyllic sounds of the ocean right now.

Last one, I promise.

This weekend, my lovely fiance whisked me away to Anglesey for a couple of days’ relaxation. {I am so blessed}.
Whilst I remember visiting with my dad in my younger years, I couldn’t really remember the place..but boy, is it beautiful.
During a lovely walk to the next bay along from Treardurr Bay, I spotted some bushes abundant with the juciest looking Blackberries..and I simply could not resist selecting the biggest and eating them.

We each took a handful to the beach with us, and they were so delicious..even if they did stain our hands!

A trip to the coast is simply not complete without a cream tea..and this was probably the most satisfying we’d ever had.
Served in the most beautiful fine china, it was heavenly..and the scone was possibly the biggest we’d ever seen!

Michael discovered what he called a “pencil rock” perfect for drawing in the sand..

..And despite us not being a lovey-dovey-kiss-in-public couple, we love each other to the stars and back, and we’re not afraid to show it.
