March weekends

Last weekend my gorgeous mum yet again visited in an attempt to source me a wedding dress - who knew it'd be this challenging! The extra dilemma comes due to the nature of visiting outlet shops (ex-sample dresses) rather than a main bridal shop, meaning that options are much more limited.

Then mum made me walk across a bridge. 

This photo was used (amongst many others taken at the bridal shop that morning) when I got home & realised I was missing my earring. We managed to deduce that I've either lost it at home or when I first changed at the bridal shop, as it was in none of the photos that day. Happily, super-mum found my earring at home!

We are very pleased to announce that we did find 'the dress' last weekend! Very exciting stuff indeed - it only took 5 shops and 2 weekends... Even more exciting for my mum who got to pick it up from Cullompton post office and lug carry it home to be stored in her house. Thanks mum!!

Cait also called whilst I was on the train to discuss her 30th plans, and then didn't release me until we'd walked all the way to the bridal shop in Newport! 

Cardiff has had some much wanted lovely weather this week - despite the hail last Friday. The sun shining really does make everything seem so gorgeous. 

Hail.

Blossom!

Sunset.

When the light hits the hallway just right. 🥰 

Then this weekend Mark & I traipsed across Cardiff to visit a cake/brunch shop near Victoria Park - Let Them See Cake. Worth it - the brunch and cakes were both excellent. 

 I was feeling a bit sourdough deficient with mine so Mark let me eat half of his - I'm marrying him for a reason. 

Proof of Mark's existence. 

Bridgerton Binge weekend away

This weekend Mark and I booked an airbnb... ostensibly for a weekend away together but really so that we could watch all 8 episodes of the new season of Bridgerton. 

In preparation for the weekend, I made a huge tray of chocolate cracknell. 

We stayed in a  gorgeous converted sheep lorry near Powys, loud braying donkey included (no photos of him sadly).  

On Saturday we had a lie in and then headed out to Henrhyd Falls - the highest waterfall in South Wales!

You can walk behind it but it looked very slippery and wet and we decided to enjoy it from afar. 

The airbnb also had a hot tub, of which I cannot photograph well in the dark but was lovely to hide from the cold wind. 

A lovely weekend all in all, with Sunday for another lie in, driving home, and falling asleep on the sofa. And yes, Bridgerton season 4 was excellent.
