Manchester :)

I have spent the day wandering around sunny Manchester with my mother and I fall more in love with the place each time we do our little pamper days. Ignoring the regular bouts of mental preachers and pushing past the masses of people all going the same way as you, Manchester is magical. We spent the afternoon having lunch, with wine of course. A little bit of the fancy shopping that is required, (who can resist the big yellow Selfridges bags- they come with their own sense of fancyness!), and then on to Harvey Nichols for a few cocktails! 

I have to admit that this little day trip probably won’t go unpunished as I will no doubt wake up for work tomorrow with a vodka hangover but for now it all feels worth it!!! I have to give massive props to the sales women at the perfume stalls in Selfridges! They don’t have know how to get into your head, and £80 lighter I think my mother would agree! 

Anyway today’s trip has made me so much more excited for the Manchester Christmas markets, and in turn, Christmas all together! I am hoping for a good one this year, so no pressure Santa 🙂

Where have I been?!

Sorry, yet again I have let my blogging slide. . but I have been a bit of a busy bee this past week or so with Michael’s birthday and Wales and what not. But here I am to share my experience of glamping with you all!!

Pentre Mawr in Wales is an incredibly relaxing, beautiful place and I don’t even know where to begin with my recommendation of it! Whilst it was a very expensive long weekend it was worth every penny as me and Mike relaxed in our very own hot tub with a glass of wine in the sun! Yes, we had a personal hot tub for the weekend and it was bliss!

Glamping is quite in fashion I believe and I am so glad I decided to pay out for the experience! On arrival we were greeted with a glass of bucks fizz and the family dogs were nothing but welcoming as they lay at our feet. The people there are the most accommodating, friendly, lovely people and we wanted for nothing whilst we were there.  And what about our tent? Well that was beautiful, filled with African themed colours it really lived up to our expectations!

I can’t say we did a lot whilst there as neither of us drive, and it is a bit in the middle of nowhere. But this is by no means a complaint. I have never felt so relaxed in my life, and the sun came out for us which made it even more perfect!

You all must go! Trust me!! I will link it below 🙂 At least just have a look at how pretty everything is!

What else have I been up to? Well I went to Manchester for a girly day with my mum, we sipped cocktails in Harvey Nicks and did a bit of shopping for my boyfriend’s birthday meal this coming Saturday! All in all a relaxing day. And I have been reading of course! I am currently reading Trainspotting as I have finally finished the 50 shades trilogy!! I have to say that I found the books enjoyable and whilst I dont think it was the best thing since Mills & Boon, it was certainly entertaining enough. What can I say about Trainspotting? It is a slow read! It is written in Glaswegian and therefore I have to read it in that accent to fully understand it! But so far it is enjoyable. Plus it is the bright orange version so you know, what isn’t to like there!!

Ta for now
