A tale of love conquering the whole world…

When we first moved into our own “place” together back in 2008 we lived in a little street called South Park which had a little park in which we would spend hours laying in on summer evenings. We would photograph the flowers and one another there all the time; even through the winter we’d venture out into the park.

Now we live a few streets away from the park and the council have revamped it and made the paths all curvy and pretty. It has been so warm and sunny and last week it was closing in on 30 degrees which is definitely abnormal for late April – early May time. The sun goes down very late now and is only getting later by the day. Soon we’ll only have a few hours of darkness as the northern hemisphere turns into summer and the sun skims the horizon.

The other night we revisited our beloved park where we once spent so much time. And we sat in the sun at 8pm and let it warm our skin. We photographed the flowers once again and it was absolutely perfect.

Easter was a happy, frantic blur between hazy hot days in the sun and having full little tummies of chocolate. We spent the four day weekend in a warmth of laughter and family. It was noisy chaos as always, but that’s what makes it what it is. And without it, things wouldn’t be right.

We lay amongst blossom petals with giggling little cousins around us. They had blood on their legs and grass in their hair but were a reminder of that childish sense of uncaring about anything but the happiness in that moment. Nathan and I spent our time pulling them out of bushes and in a funny little way it made me think if we’d ever be like that with our own kids; a manic little bunch.

We couldn’t have asked for a better time. We hope you had beautiful Easters too wherever you are. Did the Easter Bunny deliver lots of goodies for you too?

It’s funny how a little time can bring a plan into full action. 8 months ago Nathan and I moved into our little Victorian house and as you can see from the first photo; it was pretty bare! (That photo was also taken at night so everything is a horrible yellow tone and we look jaundice!) But now it’s a proper home for us. This is our little “reading” corner pictured which we love to bits, especially with the windows open next to the chair and have the evening breeze fill the room. Thank you BST for giving us light nights once again and bringing spring. [:

So after a drive from hell to get to the shops (which involved being caught in a very long one-way system in the opposite direction and therefore included lots of swearing), we finally went on a little shopping adventure for a few “bits and pieces” for the house. We ended up with more plants than anything else really so our house resembles the Amazon but it makes everything look so much fresher. We even bough a peace lily which reminds us of “Hot Fuzz” but it’s very pretty indeed. [:

So the F1 starts this weekend, Nathan is stoked and Kitty is keen on napping. Should be nice and relaxing rest of the weekend full of hot cross buns and lazing around for once! The majority of our windows are thrown open today as the air is so still and so muggy, we’re desperately trying to ventilate the house. Oh Spring!

Happy weekend!

It’s March! The blossoms are out, the daffodils have sprung, there are wild and bright flowers popping up everywhere, the sun hasn’t left for days on end and the nights are short. It feels so good to see blue skies and feel the sun on our skin later than 4pm now! In a few days we change our clocks to BST and we can’t wait. Goodbye woolly jumpers and thick socks, see you come winter again. We’ve got a warm spring to go out and enjoy! [:
