Merry & Bright

Uncategorised

24 Dec

I love Christmas, it’s a time when we become super sociable and celebrate the festivities.  So this year we decided to up our game and throw a small party for family and a few friends, I love receiving invitations to parties of any kind, so thought why not make it official and a little bit special, so I asked my gorgeous friend & talented artist Charlie (who has just started her new business venture Fogg Paper Co) to design some cards for me … I was so so happy with what she came up with.

The invites were sent and the day arrived, so it was time to start cooking and making our home festive and ready for everyone.  Phoebe made some gingerbread and once cool Phoebe, Archie & Harry decorated them, Mr W cooked one of his famous hams and I made salads, tarts & the Prosecco was chilled … we were all dressed to impress .. we were ready.

Christmas music was playing and everyone started to arrive, its so good catching up with everyone, some we may have seen recently, but others may have been a while, but its always the same … its as if time hadn’t passed and we pick up where we left.

There was a little bit of dancing too … mainly by me! … I do love a good dance (although obviously “dance” is very loose statement) .. but when the Prosecco is flowing and good music is on what else is there to do!!

Everyone had a good time with lots of fizz, chat & laughter  … a perfect day.

So as I type this blog post it’s one more sleep until the the big day.  I hope you have the most wonderful & magical Christmas wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Niki xx

I’m getting ready to hit those shops ... well ha I’m getting ready to hit those shops ... well have a good mooch at the bare minimum .. I’ve missed Saturday mooching around Ledbury so much .. I often find that with mooching comes a lot of chatting 😃 .. that  poor unsuspecting browser .. they don’t stand a chance with my chatting abilities 😜 ... mooching & chatting are two things I excel at .. oh & faffing of course 😉 ... what do you excel at 😃

I think she’s got a point 🤣😜😂🥶 #mothersknowbest

I really do think that weekends should actually be I really do think that weekends should actually be a three day event ... two days for getting up early and being totally on it .. whatever “it” is ... in may case faffing 😜 .. the third day .. to have a little lie in & a slow leisurely breakfast .. then & only then catching up on the rest of the chores / jobs  that were completely neglected while you were totally on “it” .. I mean I actually for once think I make sense .. #firsttimeforeverything 😂

No blooms yet in this novice cyclists basket 🌸🌸.. that delight is still to come 😆... instead there’s a ventalin, tissues for watery eyes, lip salve, camera (obvs) & water .. which should have been a flask of something warm #onceaguidealwaysaguide  #beprepeared ... because even though there are blue skies & it felt super warm in my centrally heated home ... it was In fact rather freezing .. next time gloves will be worn (my poor hands are still defrosting 🥶) .. but it was so lovely cycling around in the quiet calm of the day 🙌🏻 .... I’m looking forward to more #bloomingnikisbicycleadventures #bloomswillbeincluded 🌼🌸🌺
