Our 9th Wedding Anniversary 💗

Hi guys 👋🏻

Some of you may know, some of you may not, but I started this blog when we were planning our wedding! I started it to document the lead up and planning to the big day.

So, it seems only right each year to do a little post to honour the day that inspired this blog in the first place.

The blog has evolved over the years and has more of a book focus, but this is how it all began 😊

Let’s take a look back at our special day!

11.06.16

I loved our pink & green theme. These are still my two favourite colours.

My bouquet still has pride of place on our dining room table, and I loved all the personal touches like our ‘Honeydukes’ sweet shop!!

We had a brilliant day with our family and friends.

And the party was pretty good too 🥳

We spent our 9th wedding anniversary enjoying a cooked brekky together before work, and exchanged our cards and pressies. Tim got me some lovely flowers 💐 😍

We had a lovely dinner at one of our favourite Italian restaurants this evening.

Happy Anniversary to us X

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Birthday Fun 🎂🥳👯🏼‍♀️

Hi guys 👋🏻

A few weeks ago it was mine and my twin sisters’ 33rd birthday – woohoo! It actually fell on a Sunday which was the day we were actually born.

Here is how we spent our birthday weekend…

Saturday

We started off the Saturday with a delicious lunch at Revs. The sun was shining big time.

Me & Sarah (along with my husband Tim) met our friend Dan there.

Me & Sarah shared some delicious picky bits. The tater tots with garlic & chilli butter were INSANE. I was really impressed with all of the food and I’d love to go back.

We also had a bit of fun taking some photos in the photobooth ✌🏼

Once Tim and Dan had gone home me and Sarah went to Boom Battle Bar. We had a round of Mini Golf and did a spot of basketball on the machines. We each had a frozen cocktail each to round off the afternoon.

We picked up some smaller picky bits on our way home from town and ate those before having a nap (because, sun ☀️) and then went to the cinema. We watched ‘Fall Guy’ (with Tim too!) It was really good.

Sunday

Sunday was our actual birthday, so we decided to meet up for a nice brunch and do our usual present exchange together. We went to this lovely brunch spot along the waterfront – again, the sun was shining beautifully (we got very lucky with the weather!!)

Delicious!

Once we had eaten, our respective families got together at our Mum and Dad’s to open our presents from them.

Me & Sarah also got a little spontaneous birthday present for ourselves (pic below) 🙃

In the evening we enjoyed a nice family meal together with our older Sister, Mum, Dad, Brother in laws, Nephews, and Niece.

Here’s to year 34! Let’s see what it will bring 🎈⭐️

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

NYD 2023 🎉

Hi guys 👋🏼

Here we are, 2023! How mad.

I hope you enjoyed NYE, however you spent it. We had a chilled one with out friends, playing games, eating party food and having a few drinks.

We made the most of the first new day of the new year by spending the day together.

We started off still at our friend’s as we stayed over last night. We all had a nice chilled, lazy get up which was great as I was knackered from staying up but also from a rubbish nights sleep the previous night (I never usually have trouble staying up until midnight!)

Once we left, we decided to stop off for lunch on our way home. We both fancied a roast to roll in the new year, and let’s be honest, a roast is way better when you don’t cook it or there’s no washing up at the end, so to Toby carvery we went.

Perfect for a Sunday or Bank Holiday and there was a slot that fitted I’m perfectly with when we would be arriving home.

I went for Roast Turkey as I didn’t have any at Christmas. It was so really juicy turkey and it was delicious with cranberry sauce, the thick gravy and awesome roasties.

After our yummy roasts we decided for go for a walk.

After that we headed home for a little while before we went to the cinema.

We went to watch the film ‘Till’ which was playing as an Unlimited Screening, so you can get to watch the film before it comes out to everybody, if you have an unlimited card (which we both do)

The film was incredibly powerful, thought-provoking, inspiring but also truely heartbreaking. The film was from the perspective of Emmett Tills mother Mamie, which it what makes it so compelling and as I said, emotional – It is told from the perspective and experience of a black women and is co-written and directed by a black women.

I took some of the Christmas chocolate in a tub for us as we have loads left still. It saves us buying anymore and is a good way of getting through it as you need a cinema snack!!

How did you spend your New Year’s Day?

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂
