This part of Growing Up

I don't mean Growing Up in the sense of maturing, because I definitely still have my immature moments..ahem, moving on.

I mean losing your friends. The accessibility of your friends in particular. At school you saw them everyday, every single day. Now I'm lucky if I see them once every two months, such a contrast. We are all still the best of friends and nothing changes our friendship, but I often miss how it was.

The sleepovers every other weekend, the trips to the beach or park pretty much everyday in the summer holidays, oh how I miss you summer holidays. If you still have them now and you're reading this, make the most of them.  

It was just so easy. 

Now it is a full on military mission of navigating through however many sets of work rotas to come up with a single day or even morning or afternoon. I appreciate those times so much now as we don't get them as often as we like. It cannot be helped though, this is just life and this is what happens. 

I'm lucky in the sense that my friends don't live a million miles away and are still relativity close by. Please don't any of you ever move to Australia.

Nottingham is far enough.

This is just the beginning  though, god knows what'll happen when/if  we have kids, get married, new jobs and our lives progress.

Although you can be near and far I know I can always count on you.

We've been through it all together, and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else by my side.

Pizza will always be our passion, drinking sessions, pretending to be lesbians so creepy guys don't hit on us, and watching Friends on repeat.

Its true love.

Why I Love Brighton

Brighton is an English seaside resort town, only about an hour or so away from London.

Now I've been to Brighton in many different weathers, it's in England so you can imagine the weather most of the time..however when the sun is shining and it's not too windy, it's my favourite place to be, you just cannot beat a Brighton sunset..just beautiful.

I have never been anywhere that hosts so many different, quirky and independent businesses aside from your main high street shops and restaurants. I love wondering through the cobbled streets of The Lanes and seeing what new places I can snoop round and try out.

There is so much to do all the time, it is a very current place yet still with its traditional values which for me is a perfect mix when visiting somewhere. It's a vibrant, fun and relaxing place to be. As a getaway for a few days it's a great place to start especially if what I have described is your sort of thing. 

Everything is mostly within walking distance which is a bonus.

Also some of the B&Bs I have stayed at are just brilliant, so cosy yet modern and sophisticated. I've never had a disappointing stay anywhere, just do your research, there is 100% something/somewhere for everyone.

I'd recommend it for anyone, either by yourself, with your partner, a group of friends, family..it caters for all.

An all rounder and that's why I love it.

Have you been?

What I've been up to...

Hello friends,how are we? 

It's now June...just stop for a minute and let that sink in...halfway through the year already! Wowzerrrrrrs. Time has absolutely flown by.

My last post was in February,which was pretty much the start of the year so bit by bit I'm going to fill you in with what I've been up to over the last few months. 

At the end of 2014, I looked back on the year and I felt that I hadn't really done much or been to many places and had nothing to tell anyone about. So I was out to make 2015 much better and so far it has been just that. I hope to for it to continue and that I have a well fulfilled year. 

My trip to Brighton...

At the start of March my boyfriend and I decided to go to Brighton for a few days. After speaking about it a few times we finally decided to book train and hotel tickets. They were very cheap which was great and after arriving I found it was relatively easy to get to, my boyfriend would clarify that I'm rubbish at getting to pretty much anywhere, but even I didn't find it all that confusing. 

We were both quite excited as it was our first trip away together :)

It didn't take too long to get there and we'd already booked a restaurant for the evening,so we had a few hours to chill out before we went for dinner. We dumped our bags in the hotel room and went for a walk along the pier and took some typical touristy photos. Haha.

We then went back to room for a bit,which had THE smallest bathroom that we could just about both fit in,which as quite funny. For our meal we went to a place called Smokeys and we really enjoyed it, it was an American barbecue type place. I would like to go there again. 

The next day was our full day,so we had more time to have a look around. We took another walk along the pier,just because we could and then when we went off to have a look through The Lanes, which is loads of little lanes and alleyways full of shops and cafes. So went to have a look and do some shopping and being a chocolate lover of course had to stop off at Choccywoccydoodah....mmmmm. Best Hot Chocolate I have ever had. A bold statement, I know. 

If I was going to go again I would like to go for a bit longer so we could fit more things in as we weren't there for very long so didn't get to do that much and the weather was quite miserable,but that aside we both had really good time and want to go back at some point. 

Treats at Choccywoccydoodah.

The most delicious Hot Chocolate.

Me and my love, look how happy we are to be in Brighton.

Classic seafront pic.

Hope you enjoyed this, more to come soon...
