Friday picture post

I haven't done one of these for a while as I've been away on and off for the last few weeks, so here are some Instagram photos taken in May. As you will have noticed I've been pretty useless with the whole 'Photo a Day' concept...I didn't even last two days this month! So these are just some random pics not connected with Photo a Day May...or June!

  1. The other half pulling a pint at our friend's pub after a long absence. We met when we worked together in a pub about nine years ago, and both had a go at pulling a pint for old time's sake...

    2. The amazing Plaça Reial in Barcelona (see my blog post about our trip here). 

 3. My beautiful café con leche by the beach in Spain. 

 4. Drinks at our amazing hotel in Barcelona. 

 5. My first homemade iced coffee! 

 6. A chilled Saturday morning in the sun (the book, The Thread by Victoria Hislop is brilliant - a must-read if you loved her first two). 

7. The view from the apartment in Cannes where I went for a few days with my friend last week. 

8. A girls' holiday wouldn't be complete without a bottle of bubbles on the balcony! 

 9. A beautiful flower in our garden...thanks should be given to the amazing amount of rain we've had, but I think we've had enough now.

Looking back through these photos, I realise that many of them involve a drink of some kind - be it wine or coffee! Please don't judge - I have been on holiday this month! Have a great weekend.

Friday Picture Post

Just a quick picture post this morning. I'm off to the wilds of Norfolk for the weekend for my Dad's birthday! Not sure if they have decent internet up there (!) so won't be blogging until I get back on Tuesday. Here are a few Instagram photos from the last week or so.

My fillet steak being cooked by Dad on my weekend with the parents while husband was away.

Although I do quite like it when he goes to the US for work trips...!

I discovered a new green tea flavour! I love lychees (particularly in martinis).

We went to our friends' beautiful wedding last weekend.

Lovely rosebud tea wedding favours...

 

And a beautiful wedding cupcake which I consumed as soon as we got home!

Lillies in our kitchen, trying to bring a bit of sunshine into our lives.

Sunday lamb shanks with chorizo, washed down with...

A real treat for a Sunday evening.

The cat sunbathing with me on the one day of sunshine.

My attempt at pasta making...

And I did it!!

Have a fantastic bank holiday weekend!

Friday picture post

Just a short post this afternoon. As it's Friday I thought I'd share some of the Instagram photos I've taken of a few of my favourite things over the last few weeks. I am slightly obsessed with this app at the moment as I only downloaded it last month, so I find myself taking photos of anything and everything so apologies if this is a bit of a boring post!

My morning cappuccino in the sun (when it was sunny).

Oooh, the glamour of the rugby - at least it was Sauv Blanc!

The beautiful view from Primrose Hill, North London.

Don't look at the price...I can but dream (btw, the bag doesn't have '5' written on it, this was taken from a mag!).

Lovely bluebells outside our kitchen window.

Love this card I found this week.

And on that note, hope you all have a lovely Friday evening! Now the sun has finally come out we're off for a walk and then to the pub for a couple of pints/G&Ts!
