Holidaying in the Cotswolds. Part I

Us humans are funny creatures. We will walk up a flight of stairs, a little mound or a huge mountain purely to look down at where we came. The promise of a spectacular view is enough for us to don our walking boots and hike. This was hardly a huge exertion, not even a little exertion! But the view was still spectacular overlooking the Cotswolds. You could see as far as South Wales if you looked hard enough.

This is Broadway Tower and its the Cotswolds highest castle. We didn't spend the extra cash to actually go in the castle (as it was rather overpriced) but I can imagine the view must be stunning from the top! We had other plans for the afternoon (and my sisters famed Butterscotch Bars stocked in the car) but there was a delightful looking cafe by the castle too if you wanted to make a day of it.

Vainly, I'm pretty happy with these photos. I think they capture how majestic the castle looks, and the gorgeous weather makes the countryside look even more stunning. I also enjoy our family shot - theres nothing better than the slight panicked look of a timer selfie!


Have you been to the Cotswolds? Let me know where you've been!

Sister Life.

Our Saturday Breakfasts

If you are a fan of A Beautiful Mess you may recall their Sister Stuff post back in June. Its such a simple concept, but is so effective in showing off your personality. They said at the bottom of the post to steal the idea, soooo thats what I've done! I roped in my sister Katie to take some photos of her own and voila! Can you guess which is me and which is Katie, left or right?

Our Current Book

Our Current Shoes 

Our Glasses

Our Favourite Drink and Favourite Mug

Did you guess?? I'm on the left :) Though as a family we are big Jane Austen fans, I was quite surprised to see that we were both currently reading an Austen inspired book! Not a surprise that we both chose tan shoes to picture though, as they seem to be a running favourite for us both. You can tell mine are loved by how battered they are too - oops!

I hope you liked this little picture series, let me know if you do it too! :)

Blogging Fail = Me.

I am a blogging fail! Two weeks without a post is not my finest hour, but in my defence I've been really busy! Okay, so by being 'busy' I mean going to work and seeing my boyfriend and friends... Pretty much what everyone else who still manages to blog regularly does. Alright, my excuses suck - but I have got a hella lot of backed up photos to share and more free time due to recent un-employment - so yay......

Onwards and upwards! Today I thought I'd share some photos of my recent (as in, I got back today!) family holiday to Wiltshire. :) I hope you enjoy!

 We spent the week in a lovely little Lodge near Devizes in Wiltshire. Its a really beautiful part of the country and I had such a good week. After having a crappy few months at my job I was SO looking forward to a weeks relaxation to forget it all.

We went to lovely places including Lacock Abbey, Bath, Devizes Locks and the Courts gardens in Holt. I have to admit I really enjoyed having a proper play around with my camera, and I'm pretty proud of some of the photos I took.

I'll be back soon with more posts - I promise! - but I hope you're all having a lovely start to your August and enjoying the sunshine whilst its still out!
