Catching some Winter sun in Barbados

 

 

 

 

Anyone who knows me knows that I am the biggest sun junkie, even in the slightest bit of sun and I dig out my sandals then find out it's still only about 2 degrees outside.

 

 

Barbados has always been on the hotlist of places to go and back in February I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful Island. I am one of those people who's mind runs at 1 million miles per hour and I have recently had a number of big changes in my life so a week away is just what I needed to switch off and escape to paradise for 7 days.

 

 

 

Air BnB is 100% the way forward for all accommodation from now on, it has changed the way I holiday now and for the rest if my traveling life. The Royal Westmorlands Golf Resort is without fail one of the most stunning resorts, I could have stayed there forever.

 



 

The beauty of Barbados is you are never more than a stones throw from a beach.

 

 



Escaping the cold for 7 days was the perfect opportunity to switch of and spend some quality time with the family.

 

 

The local town was so beautiful with each shop and restaurant painted a gorgeous bright colour. Inside the shops were just as gorgeous with hand crafted jewellery and gifts.

 

Barbados you were a true pleasure and I cant wait to visit you again soon!

 

 

 

 

A Sunday well spent brings a week of content

It's so easy on a Sunday to sit at home, slob on the sofa nursing the mother of all hangovers. I should know, I spend most Sunday's regretting how much I drank the night before and swearing never to drink ever again!

I have often heard the expression "A Sunday well spent brings a week of content" and never really experienced it for myself....until now.

(Casual Sunday's by the coast)

Norfolk is renowned for it's beautiful coast lines, I am lucky enough to live around a 40 minute drive form the North Norfolk coast and now I live back this way I really need to take full advantage of this. The weather yesterday was grey and overcast however incredibly mild, there was hardly anyone around which made the whole experience so quiet and peaceful, walking along the small overgrown paths along the Cromer coast line was just the perfect way to wind down after a long week and to spend quality time with the family.

For anyone living near or planning to visit Cromer soon, seriously check out No.1 Fish and Chips, honestly hands down one of the best Scampi and chips I have ever tasted. The restaurant owned by renowned chef Galton Blackiston is set looking out over the sea and could not be any more perfect if it tried!

Let me know in the comments what makes the perfect Sunday for you!

Spring Morning Rotuine

When the mornings are lighter and the weather is a little milder I like to switch up my morning routines.

 

As soon as I wake up at 7am I like to go for a morning walk, usually for 30 - 40 minutes just around the village where I live. This starts my day with a clear and refreshed mind before the day really begins. I am lucky enough to live in a really beautiful area of the countryside, hardly any traffic and its so peaceful.

A healthy breakfast always makes me feel set up for the day. My go to breakfast at the moment is a mixture of Greek yoghurt, fruit and granola. I have recently tried to cut back on the carbs at breakfast time, I could easily eat 10 rounds of toast every morning with butter and jam! Cutting these back and replacing them with a healthier option is giving me more energy and making me feel more nourished.

 

 

Now I feel ready to start the day I will make a cup of tea and sit down to work, checking emails, social media and any other general admin I need to complete. I have recently purchased The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking and it's so interesting! Full of little hints and tips on how to live well. No doubt you will see this book mentioned in many posts, I can't put it down!
