<p dir="ltr">So as I have been completely rubbish at updating my blog there are a few things I have been up to but not shared. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Firstly my brother in law got married a few months ago and it was such a lovely day. The Cook men are such big softies when it comes to weddings! <br></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S8EMoLsS-gs/V-mJ9NkWocI/AAAAAAAABXM/Ky4rrXdcg70/s1600/IMG_20160709_144102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S8EMoLsS-gs/V-mJ9NkWocI/AAAAAAAABXM/Ky4rrXdcg70/s640/IMG_20160709_144102.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also got absolutely soaked at Sundown festival so much so we left a little early & ended up in Pizza Hut drinking tea! (& of course lot's of pizza)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can safely say that festivals are much more fun when the weather is good.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FAFESnpcfww/V-mLGUxnRxI/AAAAAAAABXU/xek9HyzC0xk/s1600/IMG-20160904-WA0026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FAFESnpcfww/V-mLGUxnRxI/AAAAAAAABXU/xek9HyzC0xk/s640/IMG-20160904-WA0026.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So...London Fashion Week! Where do I begin. Well I couldn't of been happier it was a mental busy, longest day ever but was so much fun I loved every minute of it especially that I got to do it with my bestie. Here are a few of my fav pics from the day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wU-4SMIAibs/V-mNRymqaCI/AAAAAAAABXs/I2FBCp6iUgc/s1600/20160918_144824.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wU-4SMIAibs/V-mNRymqaCI/AAAAAAAABXs/I2FBCp6iUgc/s640/20160918_144824.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had such a fantastic time back stage at the Sabinna girl show taking photos for Faby UK. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AN_kHOIlssw/V-mNqE2Y3XI/AAAAAAAABXw/jexnRdCYsxs/s1600/DSC01369.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AN_kHOIlssw/V-mNqE2Y3XI/AAAAAAAABXw/jexnRdCYsxs/s640/DSC01369.JPG"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The make-up and clothes were great I may have brought myself a jumper from the collection at the pop up shop at Browns Hotel in Mayfair later that evening.

I'll start with my most recent escapades...</p><p dir="ltr">As you can probably tell by the title of this blog, I climbed a mountain. Mount Snowden to be precise. I have to say that I think it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. The view on the way up was breathtaking and an absolute delight to walk up.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GRXg-HHFEho/V6ZNLOp-oyI/AAAAAAAABVs/BAgTgK3k2Jo/s1600/DSC01071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GRXg-HHFEho/V6ZNLOp-oyI/AAAAAAAABVs/BAgTgK3k2Jo/s640/DSC01071.JPG"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We weren't even that bothered when we got rained on a little when we first started as it was just so beautiful. We were told to be prepared for all weather and they weren't wrong it changed so many times as we were climbing higher & higher but still the views were amazing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0hz-F1pDOUY/V6ZN9NO_7gI/AAAAAAAABVw/KgfWNioViM0/s1600/IMG_20160805_141826.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0hz-F1pDOUY/V6ZN9NO_7gI/AAAAAAAABVw/KgfWNioViM0/s640/IMG_20160805_141826.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It wasn't all plain sailing though as we got to about 2 hours in and the fog decended the path almost disappeared and it turned into actual climbing. It got quiet scary at points especially when you couldn't see more than 10 steps ahead of you but I had my partner in crime with me, the hubby, who was my rock (no pun intended) and he got me up that mountain. You couldn't see a thing through the fog but we made it and that's all that matters.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2riI3-yUE8o/V6ZPPChnpXI/AAAAAAAABWA/eSYm5qGqedk/s1600/IMG_20160804_193919.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2riI3-yUE8o/V6ZPPChnpXI/AAAAAAAABWA/eSYm5qGqedk/s640/IMG_20160804_193919.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Considering we did little to no research other than what gorgeous little B&B we were going to book, I'm amazed we made it. I also thought it would be ok to go in my primark trainers (not my brightest idea.) We later found out that we had actually not picked the easiest route by going on the miners track. All in all it was so tough but such an awesome thing to do. I will never forget it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V1yhJ2-ZNUQ/V6ZQdD1yy7I/AAAAAAAABWM/aSVGt6H5HXg/s1600/20160804_122603.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V1yhJ2-ZNUQ/V6ZQdD1yy7I/AAAAAAAABWM/aSVGt6H5HXg/s640/20160804_122603.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wales is such a beautiful picturesque place to stay.

We are now looking to buy a new bed as this was so comfy I wish I could've taken it with me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pdYvUQaOa9c/V6ZS-r6eICI/AAAAAAAABWc/YHTPnLtqzmQ/s1600/DSC01140.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pdYvUQaOa9c/V6ZS-r6eICI/AAAAAAAABWc/YHTPnLtqzmQ/s640/DSC01140.JPG"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also checked out a few of the local waterfalls in the area. This was Conwy falls. Absolutely loving my new camera as you can tell by the picture quality it's just so much better than my last one but more on that in my next post. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O0cmiJ1mumU/V6ZXBzekwWI/AAAAAAAABWs/Xal8Pe45ul4/s1600/DSC01152.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O0cmiJ1mumU/V6ZXBzekwWI/AAAAAAAABWs/Xal8Pe45ul4/s640/DSC01152.JPG"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for reading.

I have been a busy bee the last few months but have just been a bit rubbish with blogging about it. First things first, I went to see Ellie Goulding in Nottingham with my sister. As always she was fantastic, she always puts on a good show and a lot of thought is always put into the stage and dancing. I got a few hundred pictures as usual but this is a time when I wish I had a better zoom or even a better camera! (hint hint husband!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was so much to look at that I'm sure we didn't see all the exhibits but it was a nice day out all be it a little cold. Even the ceilings were amazingly detailed, I don't think I have ever taken pictures of the ceiling before but they were so beautiful. We are going to do the National Museum in the summer so can't wait for that one.</span></div>

Focus. Capture.<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have only really started taking photo's in the last year but it has quickly become a hobby that I love. I have always been a little bit creative so I don't really know why I didn't pick it up sooner but since I got a half decent camera just over a year ago I have taken thousands of photos's. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was reminded just how much I love photography this weekend when I got the opportunity to go to London Fashion Week to take some photo's of Faby Uk nails on some of the models. As well as experiencing the backstage madness we also got to watch the fashion show. It was an amazing day and I had massive camera envy of all the professionals.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The show itself was every bit as fabulous as I thought it would be and the clothes were lovely too. The backstage area was jam packed with make up artists, hair stylists, nail technicians as well as the models, designers, photographers and the people trying to organize the chaos it was such madness but I loved it. I could not of been happier. </span></div>

As well as it being valentines day I got to visit Rutland Waters and take some beautiful pictures.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also got to spend plenty of quality time with this one...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We spent most of valentines day eating chocolate and watching movies but it was just what I needed as this last few months have been so busy it's nice to relax and chill.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A few other things that I have been loving lately is trying out new make up. I have been in desperate need of a new foundation and after trying a few lately I finally found one that I quite like. I really struggle with foundations as I can't seem to find a liquid foundation that blends in as well as giving good coverage. This Rimmel London one blends quite well and seems to suit my skin type. I'm not sure it really lasts 8 hours let alone 25 but It feels really nice on and is not a bad price either.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am also loving my new Faby nail varnish and can't wait to get more colours. I love this colour and can't wait to get more to add to my collection.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">February is now here so it is about time I got off my bum and did some exercise. As I have not really been able to go jogging much I decided to buy myself an exercise bike and start getting fit again. I have been getting on the bike at least 4 times a week and doing 10 miles at a time and I am feeling a lot better for it. I especially love the fact that I can watch TV and stay in he warm while I do it and it folds away so doesn't take up much room.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While doing my miles I have been watching some good TV. The Good Wife is back on as well as War and Peace on BBC which was absolutely brilliant and now the Bake off is on for a few weeks too as well as trying to watch Luther in between all this as I can't watch it on my own as I am a scaredy cat!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The new year saw me and the hubby making a long list of all the things we want to do this year and a lot of the things on the list are things to do to the house. The first 6 months we moved in we did quite a bit to get it up to date but 2015 turned into a very busy year so the momentum slowed down a bit. So we decided to start as we mean to go on this year so we are finishing off the living room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have always wanted a lovely Oak Bookcase so we ordered one of these and a sideboard to match and of course this meant I had to get some pretty things to put on them. I went a bit mad on the silver woops!</span></div>

I had planned to do one just after Christmas but to be honest this year Christmas was so full on I just didn't get time. I don't really know where to start... So lets rewind to a few days before Christmas. I did a little family photo shoot for Bex and he lovely little family. Here are a few of my favourites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zp6FXKT6jjw/VohDSMm272I/AAAAAAAABOc/IhVcqkp76aE/s1600/1450824169591.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="266" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zp6FXKT6jjw/VohDSMm272I/AAAAAAAABOc/IhVcqkp76aE/s400/1450824169591.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I took about 300 photo's most of which were all different as Charlie as a little wriggle bum. He was not in the best of moods this evening but we still managed to get some good ones. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We spent Christmas Eve down the pub with all of Jason's mates which was really nice. Christmas day went by in a blur of Proseco and way too much food as always. I forgot to take my camera to the Cook's in the morning so there was no pictures of Jason winning the 2015 Cook Arm wrestling Cup but the competition was close this year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I did however manage to get a nice cheesy photo at the Johnson's. The dog's were already asleep at this point so we decided to do the pic without them this year.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Boxing Day was another family and friends day. We spent the afternoon at Jason's brothers playing games and eating the nicest gluten free cheesecake I have ever had, then in the evening we went onto my mate Amy's for a few more drinks and games. Dani also got to have her first cuddle with baby Charlie which was really sweet.</span></div>

It was absolutely awful weather with storm Frank sending wind and rain our way all day but it was such a lovely day that didn't matter. Here are a few of my favourite pics of the lovely couple Ash & Emma.</span></div>

Friday night was mine, and I think I might be still suffering for it now. lol! I used to be able to do 2 nights on the bounce but now it takes 2 days to recover from the 1 night! I didn't even drink that much but all the dancing and the late night has taken it out of me. I'm such an old woman! As this was my last Xmas party I was determined to enjoy it and I had a real laugh at dinner and a good dance with the girls. We even met some lookalikes and managed to get a selfie with Ronnie Wood! lol!</span><br />

About time if you ask me! The weekend started with a bit of Christmas Shopping in Milton Keynes with my Mum and sister which turned out to be very productive as I pretty much finished mine off bar a few although it proved to be a bit too much for my poor leggys as I have been suffering a little today. I have also been a little bit lax on the old picture front this weekend as I managed to not take my camera anywhere! woops! But do not fear I did get a few on my phone. Here is the beautiful Carousel that was indoors at the MK centre.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today has been a busy one I spent the early afternoon at my lovely mate Charlotte's baby shower where we played lot's of baby related games, which I was rubbish at by the way, but lot's of fun was had and lot's of cake was eaten and I also got to see Sonny take a few steps today which was lovely to witness. He will be running around in no time! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">The rest of the afternoon was spent being very Christmassy. We picked up our tree from our usual dealer! lol! We went back to Stilton where we got our 7ft tree and had a nice catch up with the ever lovely Emma & Garry. Then after what seemed like an hour of un-tangling the lights the tree is decorated and looking good.</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also watched The Polar Express which was the first Christmas movie of the year for me so I thought I best get a start on wrapping some pressies.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">The last few weeks I have mainly done a lot of Christmas present shopping but I also found</span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> time to get myself a few bits. I happened to be off work on black Friday so I took advantage of the offers and worked out I had saved myself about £75 so it was definitely worth braving the shops.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also treat myself to a new outfit for the Xmas Party this year and as I don't normally take that many pics of myself I thought I would put a picture up of what I am going to wear just in case I have too many wines and don't take any pics.</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">lol!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The dress and necklace are from H&M (of course) and the shoes are from New Look. I went for all black this year as black is flattering and this last few months I have not been able to do an awful lot of exercise so I am not feeling too hot about myself so after trying about 20 different dresses this is the one I have settled with.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This just about sums me up at the moment. I feel like I am not getting enough sleep lately which has mainly been down to watching I'm a Celebrity. I don't normally watch any reality TV but I got really into it this year and really enjoyed it. I might get a bit more sleep now it's over and my favourite won so happy days.</span></div>

We booked to stay at Fawsley Hall Spa near Daventry and we had such a lovely time I would definitely recommend it. First of all they called up a few days before we were due to arrive and asked if we were celebrating a special occasion so when we arrived we found they had upgraded us to a suite and the service was brilliant. The whole hotel was steeped in history and had such a lovely atmosphere. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">My favourite room in the whole place was the Great Hall. It had pictures of Monarchs hanging all around the walls along with lot's of sofa's and arm chairs to relax by the massive fireplaces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3alq5Gr4bO0/Vlx9ACjliOI/AAAAAAAABKE/3npK7SH92n0/s1600/SAM_3491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="266" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3alq5Gr4bO0/Vlx9ACjliOI/AAAAAAAABKE/3npK7SH92n0/s400/SAM_3491.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The weather wasn't great this weekend so we spent a lot of time inside eating and drinking or at the spa. I even got up at 7:30am on Sunday to go for a swim! Just shows how much more energy you have when you get time to relax and enjoy yourself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">I started out the weekend with a Date night with the bestie on Friday. We went to see Mockingjay part2, which was brilliant and I can't wait to see it again, then we had a Chinese and bottle of wine. Just the kind of evening I had been needing. I do love going to the cinema, I still haven't been to see the new Bond movie yet so hopefully I'll get time to go and see it soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">On the way back from the spa we stopped off at the Burghley House Christmas Market in Stamford which to be honest wasn't the best. It was so busy so took ages to actually get in and to be honest I was disappointed with the lack of actual Christmas stalls. There was a lot of clothes and random stalls and only a handful sold Christmas things! I did however find 1 -stall where everything had been up-cycled and the money made was all going to charity so I purchased this really cute bauble that which has pages from Jane Eyre all around it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was also a nice surprise to see our the photographer from our Wedding, Chris, was also the photographer yesterday, We have seen him at a few weddings over the years so it was nice to have a little catch up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You may have seen from previous posts that I have purchased glossy boxes in the past and although they had some cute stuff in them they weren't really value for money. I have recently found a different kind of monthly treat that is a bit more up my street. It's called Book and a Brew. I had the first delivery last week and I was a very impressed. Basically the concept is that you get a book and a box of tea every month. I have only signed up for 1 delivery at the moment as I know that J has brought me a few books as stocking fillers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So far so good, the book is called Love and Treasure and when I saw that Philippa Gregory had reviewed it I thought it was definitely worth a read. Also the tea you get with it is tea Pigs which along with Twinings, is my favourite so thumbs up!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">So one of my lovely readers asked me the other day why I hadn't posted for a little while and the simple answer is that I haven't been all that happy lately. This is my happiness project and I can't post if I haven't been very happy. I know it's only been 2 weeks since my last post so it's not like it's been ages but it feels like it has! Anyways this weekend I started feeling a bit more like my self so I thought I would share a few pics from my weekend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">I started the weekend with a jog yesterday which is probably the first time in about 2/3 months. I have missed it but I didn't realise quite how much until yesterday. It was such a lovely crisp morning but I completely over did it so I think I won't go as far next time. After that, just to make my legs worse, I went for a walk in the park with my mum and sister and the furry babies.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As usual they all ran rings round us but I think we tired them out as they slept all afternoon after this. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Today I spent the day with 2 of the Besties in London. We started off the day at a lovely but very busy flower market in Columbia Road where we stopped and had some very yummy food at Lily Vanilli Bakery. We also picked up some very pretty flowers as it would of been rude not to!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We then spent the afternoon drinking Prosecco on the terrace at the Print Room in Covent Gardens and having a good old catch up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So after all the walking this weekend I feel like it's safe to say that I will need a new pair of legs, but other than that I have had a lovely weekend and I am not ready for it to be over but unfortunately Monday always has to rear it's ugly head, but Christmas is coming! Yeahy! I know this because Covent Gardens already have their tree up so it must be so and in my opinion it's a little small this year. lol!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love Christmas. I'm not a fan of the shops at this time of year due to the amount of people as it no longer makes it a nice time to shop but this year I have already made a good start on the presents so more time to relax and enjoy.</span></div>

As I said in my last post, I think Autumn is my favourite season. I am loving walks with Reg and all the lovely colours this season brings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Also it is now close enough to Christmas that I can start shopping so yesterday me and the hubby spent a good 5 hours in town. Granted a hour of this was spent with me in Spec Savers trying to pick out some new specs and then another hour or so was spent having lunch or having a coffee break so really there wasn't an enormous amount of time spent actually shopping but hey we made a start!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Last night we went out for a meal at Prezzo's with the sister blister and Nino. The food was so good I can't stop thinking about it today. I don't normally like to stray from what I know I like as when I take a gamble and try something new it never normally pays off...this time it did! I had grilled goats cheese to start and this lovely gorgonzola pasta dish that was probably one of the nicest pasta dishes I have ever had. It definitely made top 5! This was the goats cheese starter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of my main as my memory was full on my phone but just take my word for it both of these were great and I also got Sam to share another bottle of wine with me, which is amazing, I may be turning her over to the dark side! lol! I also tried calamari for the first time which I wasn't all that impressed with, it didn't really taste of anything and was just really chewy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today has been probably one of the laziest days we have had for a while. I did not change out of my pj's until about 2pm and that was only because I had to go and get my break lights changed but I was back in them by 7:30pm so it wasn't all bad.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Because we were both being so lazy today neither of us could be bothered to make any lunch or go out and get anything so the natural solution was to see what I had in the fridge that I could just stick in the oven so garlic flatbread and balsamic vinegar was today's lunch. lol!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That along with too many Halloween chocolates filled us up until went out for dinner for the brother in laws birthday and to visit our friends that moved into their new home this weekend. So all in all a good weekend as I haven't actually had to cook once and I'm also very happy that the husband is now into House of Cards so today we watched a good 4 episodes so nearly finished with season 2. If I carry on at this rate I will be finished watching all 3 seasons on Netflix before Christmas so I will need a new programme to get into!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Anyways I keep telling myself I should go to bed earlier and start getting more sleep but it's really hard to go to bed when you know you have to wake up the next morning and go to work. Boo! </span></div>

Yeahy! This is my favourite time of year. The tree's turn beautiful shades of orange and yellow, lot's of cosy nights in with candles and Netflix and lovely autumnal shades of clothes and make up.</span><br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This last week we have watched the first series of House of Cards (which I wasn't too sure on in the beginning but I love it now) The first series of Peaky Blinders (again!) Because it is just brilliant and half of my new book. I am in need of some fresh air and exercise which I have started to do a bit more now but I am still dying to go for a jog again! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I love the clothes and make up for this season. Lot's of woolly jumpers and boots of which I have lot's of but never enough of course! lol! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's been ages since I got myself a decent mascara and I have sold quite a bit on ebay recently so I decided to use some of my earnings from that to get myself this Dior mascara and I love it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also got myself some new eye shadow too as I don't often wear any so thought it would be a nice change. I tend to not be too fused about makes and more bothered about if they are good. I knew the Dior was good as my mate Dan has it so I had already tried it and knew it was worth the monies. So I walked around boots for about 20 minutes trying every eye shadow I could find on the back of my hand! lol! </span> </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and obviously I had to get myself a jumper to really get that autumnal look! This beaut is from H&M of course. They should give me discount for the amount of money I spend there! Oh wait... they do! lol!</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also spent my weekend painting pumpkins. Yes painting not carving. I spend a lot of time on Pintrest, as I'm sure everyone does, and came across the idea which I thought was great as I like being creative and this way there is no mess. I already had some paints from a little project I have going so I used these to paint some scary and not so scary pumpkins. I will leave you with a picture of one of the cute pumpkins I painted. I will post the scary ones next week. </span> </div>

So I recently finished reading Go Set a Watchman which is the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird. It didn't grab me like To Kill a Mockingbird did but I'm glad I read it anyways. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have been at a loss as to what to read since then. I did read a couple of pages of The Hobbit but gave up as I want to read something that I can't put down not something that I have to keep making myself read. I like fantasy novels but I don't think this is my cup of tea.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love this saying. I want to feel this way about every book I read but I know that's not always going to be the case. The main times I have felt this way is on holiday when I have been reading by the pool as this is the only time I have really been able to get fully engrossed in a book. Two that really stick out for me are Twilight and P.S I love you. Both very mushy love stories as I am a romantic at heart and quite different to what I have been reading lately.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have been reading a lot more 'Grown up' books lately and to carry on with that trend I decided to read a book I got for my birthday this year from my mate Dani. It's called Lean in by Sheryl Sandberg. It's not really the kind of book I would normally go for but I have decided to give it a go. 2 Chapters in and the jury is still out but I am going to continue reading.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I always like to have plenty to read in the house and always keep a pile of magazines and catalogue's in the living room for general browsing but the pile was getting a bit big so I had a clear out today and managed to cut it down a bit. </span></div>

So this weekend one of the Besties came back from London and spent the weekend with me & Amy. We went to Stamford yesterday for some dinner at Cosy Club and then we had a few drinks after. The food was really good. Especially the free desserts we got courtesy of Amy. </span><br />

I love going back to Barnsdale Lodge as the food and service is always great and it always brings back such lovely memories. I was having such a good night that I forgot to take any photo's other than a few drunken selfies in the bathroom of me and the blister!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Our little pup Reg has been a little poorly again so I spent most of Sunday curled up on the sofa with him catching up on Dr Foster and watching movies. We watched Pitch Perfect 2 and The Theory of Everything, two very different movies but both very good. Then we went to my mums for dinner and as always I had to take a picture or ten of the lovely Rosie.</span></div>

It's been another busy one and great weather too so where to begin...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I started off the weekend with a woodland walk with Mum. We took Reggie and Rosie out for a walk together for the first time and they were really good. Rosie is still a little nervous to go too far away from Mum but she is full of beans. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Saturday evening we had friends over for dinner and games. We played Pictionary which was so much fun. Me and Lucy lost miserably but the guys were so funny it was worth it. We were too busy playing that we forgot to eat the lovely desert they made but we may of had some for breakfast this morning so it didn't go to waste.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The weather continued to be nice today so this afternoon we went and had a game of mini golf at Dobbies with the rest of the Cook clan. The Cook men tend to be quite competitive with any sport so today wasn't any different. None of them won either. It was such a good laugh and we ended up getting a few free games too.</span></div>

The first being that we finally have a new front door. This probably seems like a really lame thing to get so excited about but the old one was so old fashioned and let out a lot of heat. I should of taken a before and after picture so you could see just how bad the old one was but here it is all shiny and new.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I haven't posted much about make up for a while as I have found good products that work for me so I haven't changed much lately. The only thing that I have been trying out is new moisturisers. In one of the glossy boxes I tried a few months back I got a sample of a moisturising gel. I thought this was a bit strange at first but actually it sits really well under my make up and dries really quickly so when I ran out of this and went to purchase it again it was something like £20 for the smallest tube so I thought I would have a shop around. I found this and it is just as good and better value. </span></div>

So I just thought I'd write a bit about the few bits and pieces I have purchased lately.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Today I went through my wardrobe to sort out some clothes to put on Ebay, as I am starting to run out of space and I found quite a few bits that either still had tags on or that I had only worn a few times so I have put loads on ebay and I decided that I would make a more conscious decision to wear everything in my wardrobe at least once in the next year. I decided on a year as I have a lot of summer stuff and if I started walking around in a summer dress in December then people might think I've gone a bit bonkers! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">However saying that, I have been shopping lately and spent a small fortune in London on a day out with the Hubby. Here is one of my favourite purchases from that day a lovely Autumnal tan coloured blazer from Oasis. </span></div>

I haven't heard of this brand before but I am very pleased with the results. After using it a few times it has kept the colour bright. </span></div>

My bum has been firmly fixed to the sofa pretty much all day. I had a list of all the things I wanted to get done this last week and I think it's safe to say I haven't done any of them! Ah well there's always the weekend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">This weekend was mainly spent shopping (shock!) and dancing around at Sundown festival. It started off with the usual stop off at Mc D's like any road trip where I got this hat out of my happy meal, yes I am a child and still have happy meals, and it seemed to suit Nino very well. lol!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We then spent the afternoon in the sun having a few drinks and watching the main stage. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hadn't been to Sundown festival before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I only really wanted to see Tinie Tempah so I wasn't too fused about the other acts but they weren't bad. It was quite a small arena so it wasn't like there was a lot to wonder around so we got ourselves a good spot in front of the stage.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We did get off our bums and do a bit of dancing...</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">But by far the best of the evening was Tinie Tempah. His set was fantastic. I didn't get many photo's as I was too busy singing along and dancing to the point I did a bit too much and hurt my leg but it was worth it. Here's the few pics I took from Tinie's set.</span></div>

Nothing major just a few new bits and pieces. I picked up this Buddha head from the Range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also got these pair of candles from Pri Mark. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a bit of a silver, gold and copper theme to this room. I decided rather than to re-paint the walls I was going to paint a mural instead. It's a little random I know but I like to consider myself a bit of an arty person, although I haven't done much art since I was at school, I do enjoy it. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have picked a design and drawn it on the wall. So far I have spent quite a few hours on it and haven't gotten very far as it's quite detailed so It might be a while before I post a picture but hopefully by then I will of figured out how to decorate the rest of the room.</span></div>
