the burial ground - Thursday Mr Whippy work treat - New hair for summer
I
am so glad that this round-up is just before I go away - I think my Insta will
definitely be all things Palermo at the end of the week... also I am so bloody
excited to be going away! It's time again to find out what I've been up to
recently...
Just
over three weeks ago, I caught up with my lovely friend Vicky and the four of
us (Callum and Ashley came too!) went to Brickyard in Romford for dinner. We
hadn't been for ages but it was as good as I remembered - despite all the
changes. All week, leading up to the meal, I had been ill, but didn't let that
deter me. Catch-up, cocktails and some good food was much needed (read more: Two-for-One Saturday night fun at Brickyard, Romford).
The
weather has been so gorgeous lately, not that you'd know with my properly
English skin. But I have really been enjoying my lunches in the work garden -
or better, walking to the park with Poppy and just relaxing for an hour. I've
also had a couple of days off recently, so have been making the most of them,
too.
Two
weekends ago now, Ashley was here and decided we should go out for the
afternoon - suggesting mini golf. There's a course in Brentwood at King
George's park, but instead we drove to Moby Golf, which is between Romford and
Chadwell Heath. It was so much fun and good to get out for a couple of hours.
Needless to say, I was useless and lost with a score of 67 (I think par was
41)... it's all about the taking part anyway!
More
recently, we stayed at Ashley's parents, which was nice as we hadn't seen them
for a while. We just had a chilled night in with wine, takeaway pizza and
Monopoly... and for once, I didn't win. Also, how cute is my giraffe?!
Last
Wednesday saw the anniversary of my dad's death and I honestly feel so loved by
family, friends and the blogging community. The reception to my post was
actually heart-warming and I'm so pleased with how it was received - and I'm
hoping it helps others in a similar situation (read more: One Year On...). As I mentioned in the post, I took the
day off work and spent two hours at the burial ground, taking a picnic and some
flowers with me. Although I felt okay for the majority of the day, I actually
appreciated having the day to myself.
And
finally, I got my hurr did for
summer! I was getting so bored of my natural hair colour, as I hadn't got it
dyed permanently since last summer - despite the good condition it was in, it
was just so dull and lifeless. I'll be posting about it next week, so keep your
eyes peeled. But for those interested, I've gone back to ombré.
What
have you been up to lately?
Love,
Lucy xx
