Daniel and I headed over the Scottish border last week to visit his family and a few friends from his home town. A week filled with laughter and love is all I can expect from Dan's family and that is exactly what we received. The week started off with two days of scorching sunshine and me moaning that I didn't pack the right wardrobe for the weather so I mainly sat it the shade to prevent from over heating. We took a wander into Bakewell which has to be one of the cutest little towns I've ever layed my eyes on with the little market and a charity shop on every corner. There is a little antique shop with lots of vintage goodies from funky furniture to silverware and jewellery. In one glass cabinet my dream engagement ring is waiting for me, it's bloody gorgeous! We visited the shop for the first time in December 2017 and I've not stopped thinking about that ring!!! I couldn't go to Bakewell and not pop in to see if the ring was still sitting and after a sad couple of minutes desperately looking for it and not seeing it anywhere, I spotted it....In a new cabinet and still just as stunning as before, maybe even more so. Im not one for subtle hints or playing the game so I've told Dan on multiple occasions about how in love with the ring I am and Im pretty sure he's got the message loud and clear!
A walk round a gorgeous park filled with families and dogs gave us a look into our future and gave Rolo a chance to run around and sniff different bits of grass. After a long but not so long walk we headed to yummy Yorkshire for one of the best ice creams I've ever had....Banoffe pie ice cream in a chocolate cone....What!!! I ended up being too full to finish it off so Dan the man stood up to the challenge after finishing off his own.
I think it was sitting around 24 degrees so an ice cream was a great shout!
The following few days we chilled at dans parents and watched a movie on one of the evenings. On the Thursday we visited one of dans chums and had a look round his lovely new house! Grey and mustard everywhere accessories in every room! its was dreamy! Daniel's grandparents then came round for dinner and we got caught up on all the family goss! The last two days were spent just lazing around, we always have great intentions when going away but we always end up being to lazy to pursue any exciting activities. For us its a holiday and there is nothing worse when you've got a big long list of things to do and never actually get a spare second to sit down and relax!
On the Sunday morning we made our departure and began the 8 hour trip home with 5 different houses to stop at on route. With dan being a game keeper his friends are pretty well spread across the country but it made the journey more scenic thats for sure. We left Dan's parents around 8:30am and got home at 12:30am ish! fair to say the journey took longer than 8 hours. We did try to cut our visits down to an hour at each house but you can't say no to a cup of tea and an abundance of food!
There is something to satisfying about getting into your own bed when returning home. Id cleaned our sheets just before we left so we had a fresh bed to come back to which only makes the feeling better!
I think everyone enjoyed meeting our little bump and they are all very excited for her arrival as are we! It's crazy to think that the next time we visit Yorkshire we will have a little person to take with us! I can't wait for the family holidays to Yorkshire and all the gorgeous places we can show our little girl!
Im gonna go and tidy the house now,
peace out,
