Hey
beauts, I’m back! This little life update will explain my absence from blogging
and social media, but I feel like I can commit to two/three posts a week and I
really want to get involved in more Twitter chats, too. When you feel alone,
the blogging community is great, but I feel like I’ve distanced myself from it –
but not only that, from my friends as well. I’m in a much better place now, I
think.
Those
that follow me on Twitter or Instagram will know that my dad died at the end of
May. I mention it because he was my blog’s biggest fan – he thought up the name
for my Barnet blog (Look Black n Amber) and loved this one (especially the
restaurant reviews and posts about our theatre trips). It’s no secret that I
was a daddy’s girl and understandably everything in my life, apart from my
family, had to take a back seat.
This
then meant we had our first Father’s Day without him. It was a day he never
believed in, he wasn’t bothered about cards and presents, it was always about
us being together and getting on. Thankfully, my auntie and uncle were still
staying with us that weekend and we all went for lunch together – to one of dad’s
favourite pubs: The Viper in Mill Green. Prior to lunch, I went to the Burial
Ground to chat to him and it was good to see the flowers still all in tact.
And
then more recently, I went on holiday with my childhood best friend, Gemma. We
have three nights in Arenal, Mallorca and it was exactly what I needed. I went
to her house in Telford the day before and we went for dinner. The day of our
holiday, we had a lovely breakfast at a place called Carriages (post coming
soon). While we had such a good time together, we were definitely in need of another
day or two! The days were spent poolside, sunbathing and reading; while the
nights were spent at cocktail bars and on the beach. Obviously on the Monday,
England were playing Iceland, so went to a couple of English bars. The
highlight was definitely the buckets – from 15€, we got
a bucket with ice, a bottle of Malibu and couple of cartons of pineapple juice –
and we took them down to the beach and just chilled! I definitely feel back to
reality now and no longer bummed out.
What
have you been up to lately?
Love,
Lucy xx
