I know, I know - it's been weeks since I last tapped away at my keyboard and shared a little slice of my life with you. This year I've been working really hard, a lot has changed and things are really exciting (I'm sure I'll share a little more when things have settled a bit. Soz to be so secretive.)
April has been full of fun moments and my phone is full of happy snapshots from the month, so I thought I'd go back to basics and share them with you.
Starting with a sunny Friday spent strolling around Notting Hill at the start of the month. It was the first real hint of Spring we had after the what seemed never ending Winter. I took a gazillion blossom photos, we walked miles and enjoyed the sun.
For my little brothers birthday, I promised him a trip to the science museum. He'd been eagerly awaiting our trip since November and I finally managed to sneak him off for a day in his Easter holidays (the kid is hella busy!) Spending a day with the baby bro I've watched grow into a hilarious and charming little man was the best. The Wonderlab was out favourite bit, so much to see and do!
Celebrating this Wonder Woman's 30th birthday. Polly is the most inspiring and fun-loving babe I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She quite honestly is a shining light to everyone lucky enough to know her - celebrating her turning flirty 30 was the best!
Summer rearing it's head a little early and bringing a beaut Spring Heatwave. After the Beast from the East taunting us so close to the end of Winter the heatwave was a warm (or should I say hot?) welcome! Basking in the sunshine - with a rhubarb G&T - was nothing but glorious! That weekend we lazed in the garden with the pups and friends, celebrated a birthday and I took photos of yet more blossom because I'm totally predictable (but just LOOK at the colour of it!)

Mayhem at the Macaron Masterclass with The Crow Kitchen. After doing some photography work with them recently, myself and Hen's family took part in a masterclass to learn how to make macarons. It was madness with a lot of laughter and so much fun. A vvv. good girls day! (Surprisingly me and Em make a baking dream team, who knew?!)

Rounding off April, Henry and I spent the entire weekend together and it was just what we needed. We don't get to see each other too often at the moment and in all honesty we just wanted some quality time together. We popped back to Brighton on Saturday - our favourite place! We filled up on Mexican food and wandered the streets we know all too well. Henry ended up getting his first tattoo (eek!) but I wasn't allowed to watch, but luckily the stars aligned my best friend Charlie happened to be in Btown with an hour to kill, so we met for spontaneous catch ups and cocktails. I had an Amaretto Sour, a new fave. Hen and I headed home, tipsy heads and sore tattoo'ed arms in tow and I finally convinced him to watch The Greatest Showman with me. Absolute shock horror he actually enjoyed it! Don't think he's so keen on having the soundtrack on repeat though, baby steps...
And that's a wrap for April! There's been lots of exciting times and hard work finally paying off. I think I'll write more posts like these, it felt quite natural, simple and back to blogging basics - I like it!
What did you get up to in April?

I've recently discovered the App 'Polyvore'. Perfect for procrastinating (which is mainly when I use it...) and perfect for picking the best outfits out!
It's fast becoming a new favourite of mine! But it's dangerous for the bank balance, with links to where everything can be purchased...
These are a few of the looks I've created whilst not working, not sleeping or maybe not listening... ooops!

I'm off to do some shopping... haha!
Just a few snaps from my phone recently. I've been using my DSLR a hell of a lot more recently, but I still take a few quick shots on my iPhone.
I suppose this is also a bit of a 'Things That Made Me Happy' post too!
I was walking along with Henry, arms round each other and before I know it the little'un had run up behind us and decided he wanted to join!
Micks having a little clean in the dazzling sun.
I absolutely loved doing my best friend, Abi's hair. Blow drying is my new favourite thing! (even if it does take me hours... baby steps!)
Fresh peas straight from the garden!
Pimms. Nothing beats it on a summer's evening!
My current favourite breakfast! A smoothie (made in my new blender.. I am definitely the saddest person ever as I was SO excited about getting a blender...) & Greek yoghurt with honey and strawberries!
Testing out the new hammock in the garden at Henry's family home.
Perfect Summer lunches. Picnic food will always make me oh so happy.
Important life lessons from bro to bro.
Hilarious Sundays with family and friends trying on my mums old wedding dress. It hasn't been taken out of the box once since the day in went in there!
Happy, happy photos from a happy happy girl.
Although I've said I'm going to take my camera out more, I still take a lot of snaps on my iPhone everyday. Here's what I got up to last week!
