The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

ITS FRIDAY THEN,  it’s Saturday, Sunday WHAT?!🐶 Getting our mud pit turfed was the best decision yet. Although he can’t run the entire length just yet, he often spends a lot of time just sitting on the grass and enjoying the breeze! 
God, I love him! 🥰🐶Question is, will we finally peak out here and see snow this weekend?

Lifestyle | Basically FREE Things to do on a Hot Summers Day

It’s easy to forget of the Free things we can do when the weather is good in the height of summer. Whilst heading for a weekend away is always a good idea, money can come in the way. Unfortunalty, none of us have a bottomless pit and so when the going is tough, we have to find alternatives.
Have a picnic with friends 
Ok, so the food’s not free, but make it cost effective with everyone bringing a item of food and a bottle. Meet at your nearest park and settle on a couple of blankets under the sun. Bring a garden play set full of bats and balls and have a blast. Practically free!

Go on a walk
This one is free, because walking costs nothing. Whether it’s down the beach, across a field, around your local town, or in the woods, it gets you out, about and under the sun!

Go to the beach 
If you’re like me and lucky enough to live by the sea, this is pretty easy. Grab your sunnies, bikini and towl. A day spent soaking up the fresh sea air and paddling in shallow water is a day well spent! 

Garden Party 
Get everyone to bring a dish and drink and you have yourself a easy, cheap garden party to get together with your pals and keep the fun alive from your own home. Throw on a good summer playlist and pump up your paddling pool and you might as well be in Ibiza. Kinda!

BBQ 
Add a BBQ to the above and get everyone to bring a accomplishment. Burgers, sausages and a tub of ice cream and you have a perfect, low key BBQ!

Go for a cycle ride 
A quick cycle to a close town, across some gorgeous scenery or just to a family members house. A cycle ride can get you out, about and enjoying our gorgeous summer. It’s a perfect excuse for a picnic and a good old natter whilst you pedal.

Make cocktails 
Is there anything better than a good old home-made cocktail, in your back garden, underneath the sun? No? Exactly. I even have some recipes just here to get you started!

Host a movie marathon 
There are some days where the sun is just tooo much! But have no fear, vent out the living room and put on some good old movies to get the summer feel flowing through the TV.

Turn on your sprinkler 
Get that water flowing with a sprinkle of coolness, plus its pretty fun. Everyone has a sprinkler right?

Water balloon / Water pistol fight
This is my fav! What is better than fighting with water, with your friends. Don’t let it get too nasty, but keep some supplies for yourself to make sure you win the battle!

Make slush puppies
Slushies are just delicious, refreshing and they turn your tongue blue or red. What more could you want. Make home-made slushies with fresh fruit or artificial colourings. Not only will it take you back to your childhood, but keep you super cool in the heat!

Create a garden den 
A good past time as a 7 year old, but still just as fun. Who said dens can’t be made in your 20’s? Grab some sheets, pegs, cushions and blankets and you have your new found home outside to shelter from the sunshine but embrace the outdoors. Grab a laptop / tablet and you have a new place to Netflix and chill!



Strawberry Picking 
Not Free per-say but a pretty cheap alternative to embark on one summer’s afternoon. Is there anything better than a strawberry that’s been picked yourself? Create a cake, desert or even cocktail with the ones you’ve picked. I’ve even got the perfect cocktail that embraces a freshly picked strawberry just here.



Camping
In your back garden, local camp-site or drive a hour way. Up to you. But grab some friends, a tent and sleeping bag and you are sorted!

Summer can get a little rough with the heat, long days and lack of swimming pools as well as days off! So it’s best when we can enjoy the simple things, including the good weather, and not have to spend a fortune in doing so!

What do you like doing in the summer? 
Anything that should be on my list ?
