A tale of love conquering the whole world…

Just a quick “weekend” recap even though it’s early Sunday morning and we have no idea what today will entail yet. Yesterday was gorgeous in every single way possible from the warm happiness I felt churning inside me to the energy bounces that came out of nowhere. It was a beautiful, positive day and one I won’t forget.

We went to buy fresh ravioli for everyone for lunch from the Italian man in the deli at the end of the road. Usually my Dad does it but he had just flown in from the States an hour before and had accidentally fallen asleep so we went instead. I love it in that shop, it’s so quirky and bustling with life. We ate and then Nathan and I went to see my Grandparents. We spent an hour with Grandpa talking about his youth, his war adventures and basically about all things fun. By the time we left, he was banging the table with happy fists singing at the top of his lungs. It was amazing to see his spirits pick up so much. We went upstairs and saw Granny who had dragged all her wires to the chair by the window. It was the first time I had seen her sitting up and she smiled so widely as I walked in. I ran and gave her a huge hug and we all had a little chat.

Then we went to walk Hattie. All the trees were bright orange, green and yellow. There was a little chilly nip to the air and we collected conkers. Heaps of horse riders were out and we ran amongst brambles and berries. It was so good to have that time away from life in those woods and just be lost from the world.  We came home and had Thai takeaway that my parents bought and my body started to fall asleep from the exhaustion of such a fun day. My Dad drove Nay and I back to our little abode and I wrote a lot through sleepy eyes. By the time I looked at the clock it was 1am when I crawled into bed and don’t remember anything else.

I love the feel of Autumn in the air. As much as we all lived for Summer, it’s so exciting to see the sun disappear below the horizon at 5pm and not reappear until late morning. Soon the clocks roll back an hour and we’ll collect pumpkins. The log fires will start where we roast chestnuts and play slow music to curl up with. So there is definitely a lot more to look forward to.

Have a Happy Sunday!

Nathan and I would proudly like to present to you our newest additions to our family…

Meet Tea and Biscuit!

They are two cheeky little Roborovski hamsters full of boundless energy. They are so loving to one another and are still adjusting to their new home together. We got them yesterday but they’re already getting very used to us, our voices and the noises we already find familiar around our house. Welcome to the family kiddos!

As I sit here typing in the kitchen with the Lost Season 6 soundtrack (because we’re really geeky), Nathan cooks dinner and I lounge across the kitchen chairs just feeling warm.

Life is very much a bubble and a lot of the time, the bubble pops and you spend forever blowing it back up again. Life has been hectic and busy, it’s been rushed and crazy lately but I wouldn’t change it for the World. When I think about what is still to come I get thousands of butterflies inside my stomach, lungs, heart; everywhere! My photography page has received so much love and amazing comments which really make my day to read. I feel so spoilt and undeserving of all the beautiful words people spend their precious time to write.

Thank you to everyone who comments and supports us in what we do and show to the World. I truly appreciate the beauty of all your words from the bottom of my heart and we love reading what everyone has to say. Thank you all so much. We think you’re all our little stars.

We have been living in a new little place together for a little over 2 weeks now. I haven’t had the chance to take many photographs of our lovenest as much of it has been unfinished. I still felt like sharing what it is like with you.

We live in a little town in London where there is more wild land than houses. We live 10 minutes out of the centre of London but are lucky enough to be surrounded by fields, trees and so much nature. Our street is just Victorian terraced houses, one of them being ours. We live in a split level flat in number 36. We have friendly neighbours and the world is peaceful where we live. Everything is still and quiet. There’s no drama or loudness. It is a perfect little location for two little people starting out in the world.

We have a cream bedroom where the light shines in and makes the air warm and lush. At night I can look out the window and count the stars. Trinkets lay on our dresser as well as fresh flowers from my mother’s garden.  The word “Dream” is written above our bedhead which we specially painted gold together and gave a distressed finish to. The room is filled with items holding valuable memories to us. It’s a perfect den to sleep in.

Our living room is big and cosy. We have a bookshelf full of inspirational books to look at every night. Photos cover our walls to show memories out loud. Our sofa cradles us as the soft buzz of the TV usually lulls us into a trance like state before we drowsily crawl to our bed. There is a big tree outside our window, it hides us from the street and welcomes us in the morning time. At 4pm the afternoon sun positions itself to make pretty patterns through the blinds on our wall. The atmosphere turns misty and flies outside turn to fireflies. It’s my favourite part of the day when it turns hazy.

Our bathroom is bright and airy full of little bits and bobs. We have candles on the bath and pressed flowers in frames on the wall. There is a little buoy that we bought in Calais on the wall. Our fluffy towels look huggable and “I love you” is permanently written on the mirror so when you have a shower or bath, you can read it clearly when it steams up. It is a little room of relaxation. It’s a place you come out from feeling fresh and happy. My favourite part is the original 1800 window which is crooked and could tell many stories.

Our kitchen is warm and welcoming. It is the first room you see in our home. We have vintage teacups to welcome you in after a long day out. Our favourite foods line the shelves. There is our table with 4 little chairs in the corner underneath a vintage Europe map. We grow basil on the counter next to our sugar pot. The lights are bright and keep you awake. We love to cook up many new little things. The fridge hums a melodic tune.

All in all, it is quirky in its own little way. I am thinking of making a video tour of it to show everyone what it really looks like so I shall have to see how it all comes along and what time I have to make it. I will definitely try though.

Last Sunday I turned 20. So I decided to update with a little picture post of some recent snaps.

Goofing around on my last night of being 19.

Last photo as a 19 year old.

Pretty ecstatic to open Nathan’s present in the morning to find this staring at me.

We spent the morning in row boats on the Serpentine. It was so beautiful.

And then we all sat down to a giant cupcake birthday cake. It was so delicious and the moment was amazing.

I had an incredible day full of fun, lots of laughter and amazing people. I feel so blessed to have been able to spend my day with them all and have been made to feel so special. It was the best birthday I’ve yet had and I hope they only get better from here on in! Roll on the years!
