 Celebrated 18 months with this guy earlier this week! 

I can't stop smelling the peonies! 

And yet again we are half way through another month! It's almost the official start of summer YAY!! The highlights of this up and down week have been celebrating being with the most amazing guy for 18 months, the time has just flown and he always puts the biggest smile on my face. My home grown peonies have been the other thing putting smiles on my face this week, they smell so so good and I can't believe how big the flowers are since this is the first year the have bloomed! You'll be seeing more pictures of them on the blog soon!

Other things I can't wait for.. cheering on my friends at the London Marathon, going to a drive in movie, a little holiday with the boy, and being a bridesmaid!!!!! I am most excited about that one hehe! What are some things you are all looking forward to this Spring?

I cannot believe June is almost over, I have been so so busy at work, I don't feel I got to enjoy my favourite month of the year as much as I should have this year! However my best friend is home and it is my birthday on Sunday so June is going to finish on a high! I also have two weeks off work starting tomorrow and a crazy jammed packed fun beginning of July to be super excited about. It's time to go on some adventures!

Best Friends! 

August is flying by and I'm starting to feel like summer is coming to an end. This week has been pretty awesome though, I spent a day at the beach with Susie and did a spot of crabbing and this weekend I'm meeting up with an old friend who is back home visiting! I love getting to spend time with my favourite girls!

Birthday Presents! 

I celebrated my birthday over the weekend and on Monday since I was away from home on the actual day! Susie came and surprised me on my birthday at the hotel we were staying at for the British Grand Prix weekend, she is the best friend ever and she bought cakes too! I came home to a pile of presents from my family and a cake from my sister too! I am so grateful for the people I have in my life, I love them more than they will ever know!

The Best of Paris

These are just some of the hundreds of photos I snapped whilst we were away and I'm sure there are plenty of places i've forgotten to include. There was so much to see and do in Paris and we found walking was one of the best ways to see it all and there are so many beautiful gardens (jardins) to stop and take an ice cream break in! Luckily one of our friends lived in Paris for a little while and she gave us a bunch of recommendations so we were never sort of something to do! Below is a list of places we saw and visited that I would recommend and I'm sure I've forgotten some of the best ones!
