A tale of love conquering the whole world…

Last Sunday, June 21st, was Nathan’s birthday. We were up at 4 and then up again at 7 to open his presents. I think my surprise I’d put together for him went down really well. I’d gotten him an autographed Feeder poster and put it in a really vintage looking frame from the local art shop. I also got him some really awesome looking shorts and I personalised a huge notebook for him to do his coding in.

He then got presents from the rest of the family. Including a voucher from Libby and some really ace jeans from my parents… and a shirt with his catchphrase “Awesome” on it. We went ice skating at the Guildford Spectrum which was so much fun. The ice was all bumpy and bloody scary, but it was hilarious all the same. We ate veggie burgers whilst watching the F1 on a huge screen and got back in the car. We got a bit lost on the way back… we ended up in a hospital waste area which was kind of freaky. We could only wonder how many arms and legs there were in all the bins around us! We got home in one piece anyway, even if we were hysterically laughing all the way.

To really celebrate we had a tea party in the Sun. It was beautiful and the weather really beamed down on us. We had cupcakes and scones with tea to drink and a massive carrot cake for Nathan which was coated with nuts. It was delicious!

Then we drove up the Hill to the lake we like to wander around. The Sun was still very high in the sky (as it was the Summer Solstice) but the atmosphere was really magical. We even had some strange man come and ask to see the photos we’d taken. By the end of the day we just crashed. Everything went fantastically and Nathan deserved the most amazing day.

I love you. <3 <3 <3 <3

I took this photo in Calais but never got round to putting it up. So here it is now. [:

Nathan and I are both feeling absolutely shattered today. Yesterday was busy, busy, busy and it feels like we’ve hardly slept a wink either. But neither of us are complaining, we’re just having a quiet day and may go to the fun fair this afternoon. But we may go on the weekend, depending on how we’re feeling.

The windscreen wiper snapped off our car yesterday which is a pain in the arse. We have to park underneath a tree every night and it deposits sticky stuff all over the place; the majority being on our car. It doesn’t aim for any other car parked underneath it, oh no, it aims specifically for our’s as I’m convinced it is out to get us. That evil tree. Anyway, yesterday morning I was washing the windscreen and one of the wipers started to make a horrible noise, so I turned it off and it went flying! I kept having to remind myself that it was snapped and I mustn’t turn it on. But then we were waiting for a car to turn across us and I managed to stall as we were on a slope, and as I turned the ignition back on, I bumped the wipers on so we had this metal thing scrape right across the glass making a nail-down-chalkboard noise. It was most unpleasant. So this weekend I think we need to drive off to Halfords and get it fixed. I may pick up some other bits and bobs whilst we’re there. I’d love to invest in a Tomtom sometime. But even those are scary as people always submit stories of how they got led to cliff edges because of those navigation systems. What’s with that? That’s not cool!

Oh yeah! Nathan said he’d buy me a Tiffany’s ring for our wedding so we spent lunch time on their site. I’m positive I found my perfect one. [: I’m so excited and happy and eeeeh!

I’ve decided what to do for Nathan’s birthday and I am thoroughly stoked. I think it is a very good plan and I can’t wait to do it all. Unfortunately for him, he’s going to have to put up with my secretive self and gleeful giggles for just over a week now. I just need to buy him presents. I wanted to get him a macbook, but they seem to be a tad out of my budget right now, so I guess I’ll downsize and find something just as good. Hmm.

We also found the most amazing place the other day. We were walking through all these trees and came out onto a massive lake/pond. I really want to get in sometime and take a million photographs, but it is protected because of wildlife until July 31st. So come August 1st, I’ll be waiting in the bushes for everyone to vanish before I strike! I want to try and do a water series and make it look all misty and cold, that means Nathan will be getting wet again. But I will be too, so we’ll just have heaps of fun!

Anyway, this was just a blog to update on our busy lives right now. I think we’ll go for an afternoon snooze later. So tired! That is all for now! Over and out.

A little while back we met my Godmother’s new puppy called Prudence. Yesterday we got the honour to go and photograph her and her little puppy friend called Moccasin the golden dachshund. We drove down to Dorking and thankfully the rain managed to hold off for us for the 2 hours we spent with them. They were so, so sweet… and very energetic! I’ve never photographed anything like puppies before but it was heaps of fun and kept us really fit!

I now have a party event booked for July which I’m thoroughly looking forward to! Looks like things are beginning to lift off for me (or so I hope at least!)

I really have not much more to report on. Nathan is bogged down with work but is making amazing progress every day. His immense concentration is enough to cause an earthquake. Speaking of which, yesterday morning South London saw the most incredible storm. Turns out it blew over to Suffolk and developed into this! It made the ground shake and woke up several towns at 6am. Everyone was talking about it all day long. So much for sleep-in’s, ey!?
