50th Birthday Celebrations in Bath - Part Two

If you read my previous post, you'll know the stress my sisters and I went through in order to organise this day for my Mum - it was all done out of love and managed to come together in the end. Now onto Mum's birthday, the actual day out. As mentioned previously, my car had a little bit of a meltdown which meant I wouldn't be able to drive us to Bath but luckily Mum said that she didn't mind - her car's got more space anyway!

50th Celebrations in Bath - Part One

So on the 1st July 2017, my wonderful Mother turned 50. If anyone reading this knows my Mum, she's not really one for birthday celebrations, but this year I wanted to make sure that her day was truly special. Well, it's not everyday you turn 50 now, is it? The idea of a big surprise party was out of the question, I imagine Mum would have walked in, been completely horrified and turned straight back out the door again. Instead, she'd mentioned that she wanted to spend the day with me and the girls, and was trying to plan her own birthday weekend - naughty lady! Instead, I told Mum that all she needed to know for now was that we would be going for a day out in Bath, then onto a meal in the evening - just us. But of course, I had more planned...

Harry Potter Studio Tour

As a joint present for mine and Harriet's birthdays, Mum bought us all tickets to go to the Harry Potter tour in London. We've been a couple of times before but as is the way with these things, they keep adding in new attractions, so we just have to keep going back. Such a hardship, I know. It was the first time we'd gone without it being "Christmas at Hogwarts" and they now have the Forbidden Forest section and the Hogwarts Express. Excited didn't even come close.

Surprise Trip to Norway!

As you can probably guess from the title, Rob took me on a surprise trip to Norway for my birthday. Last year he surprised me with tickets to Coldplay (amazing) and said that this year he would keep his present low-key but of course, he decided against that. With a little help from Sels and some little white lies told here and there, they managed to keep the trip a complete secret.

A Week with My Girls

Falmouth University gave me a few things to be grateful for, and one (or three) of those things are my friends. We met through our course and have been friends ever since. It hasn't really been easy keeping up with each other, especially as Sels spends most of her time either in Norway or Kenya. But, we've made it work and through social media we're mostly able to keep up with what we're all up to. This aside, we managed to all get together to have a few days hanging out in Bristol, which was an absolute dream.
