Me & Tim got some good use out of our Unlimited Cinema cards tonight by watching two films!
We watched ‘Detective Pikachu’ followed by ‘Rocketman’.
Both were really good. We had already seen Detective Pikachu and we just wanted to see it again, great for any Pokemon fans βπ»
Rocketman was also really good but not my fave of the recent biopic films.

Today I met up with my friend and her boys at the park. I took Noah & Casey with my to play with her boys.
They loved the bus ride.
We had a great time at the park, enjoying the sunshine and playing with all of the boys π
Me & Tim took the boys to see ‘Secret Life of Pets 2’. This was Casey’s pick as he loves cats π & he really enjoyed himself.
In the eve, once I’d dropped the boys off, me and my friends met up again and had a Chinese together at a local buffet restaurant. So good.
& a great opportunity for a catch up!

It was a lovely day and we enjoyed shopping (First stop, Primark of course!) Followed by some yummy lunch from our favourite Italian which we introduced to everyone, Aromi ππ» Their veggie pesto lasagne is the one.
The kids loved the play area too.

To round off the half term we decided to again take advantage of the lovely warm weather by taking a trip to Felixstowe.
‘Oh, I do like to he beside the seaside… π’
We enjoyed a lovely meal of fish & chips, Mr Whippy & doughnuts on the beach. We had a lovely stroll along the prom before heading into the pier for some amusements. The perfect afternoon.
I even had a little paddle πβοΈ The weather was great.
I hope you enjoyed or are enjoying your half term!
Until next time,

June is here!
The 6th month of the year is here, halfway!! That’s insane.
So, I have reached the halfway point of my reading challenge too and I’m super happy that I’ve made it this far and am managing to keep it up, and still enjoying it too, which is a bonus!
In May I read…
So, what am I going to read this month?
Poppys recipe for life by Heidi Swain
‘Things havenβt always been straightforward in Poppyβs life but her dreams are finally within her reach.
She’s moving into a cottage in beautiful Nightingale Square, close to the local community garden, where she can indulge her passion for making preserves and pickles. She may not have the best relationship with her family but she is surrounded by loving friends, and feels sure that even her grumpy new neighbour, Jacob, has more to him than his steely exterior belies.
But the unexpected arrival of Poppy’s troubled younger brother soon threatens her new-found happiness and as the garden team works together to win community space of the year, Poppy must decide where her priorities lie and what she is prepared to fight for β¦ ‘
I love Heidi Swains books and she is definitely one of my favourite authors.
I love how all her books are stand alone but that the characters from the other stories pop up in them.
They are a lovely read and I always want to read her new ones straight away, anticipating their release for weeks. This book only came out on June 1st so I’m excited to have this to read this month.

The house across the street By Lesley Pearse
‘Is there a murder across the street?
Its 1964 and twenty-three year old Katy Speed is fascinated by Gliria and the goings-on at the house over the road.
Who are the mysterious women arriving in a black car most Saturdays?
Then one night, Gloria’s house burns to the ground. In the wreckage, bodies are found.
And Katy’s horror turns to disbelief when her father is arrested and charged with murder.
Determined to prove his innocence Katy sets out to uncover the truth about the mysterious house across the street. But that means uncovering the real murderer and risking her own life…’
My husband chose me this one for my birthday, because, in his words ‘your nosey and you like a good mystery’ ππ€
I have really got into this one so far and I like how it’s set in the 60s, all the other mysteries and thrillers I read are usually set in modern times so it’s really interesting.
Two very different books again for this months challenge!
Happy reading! π
Let me know what books you are loving at the moment π
Until next time,
Roseanne π
