Easter Weekend.

Hey Guys !
I hope your all well?
 
This weekend was great, I mean what is better then a weekend full of sunshine, great food, eating lots of chocolate and playing with cute puppies?
Thanks to the sunshine me and hubby managed to go out most days and enjoy the bank holiday weekend which as a blogger always leads to plenty of photos been taken!
 
Sunday.
 
We started our weekend at Cotswold Country Park & Beach on a gloomy Easter Sunday.
Since the puppies have had there last lot of injections we were eager to get them out and about this weekend so it made sense to take them somewhere to have a swim!
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Two Cocker Spaniel puppies, mud and a lake makes the equation of a bath!
In this household nothing ever goes smoothly so I ended up getting soaked in the process, but was all worth it in the end when we had two fluffy pups :)
 


 
 
  Once the pups FINALLY fell asleep I decided it was time to have some compulsory Easter chocolate while watching Hop - yum!
 
 
 
 
I did end up watching the rest of hop in the bath.
I had a very Easter themed bath using LUSH Golden Egg, Fizzbanger and Pot O Gold to create this gorgeous toffee scented bath (Some LUSH stores may still have these limited edition products in stock)
 
 
 
And what a better way to finish a Easter Sunday then to finish with a yummy lamb roast - don't forget loads of mint sauce too!
 
 
Monday.
 
When I woke up Monday morning I was very happy to see the sun was really shining, so instantly knew we had to get out again (blog photos were calling!)
 
 
We decided to visit Birdland Park and Gardens here in the Cotswold's.
 


 
We found this penguin on the left hilarious, he was such a poser!
The rest of them seemed very content with basking in the sun before they got fed - at which point we decided to have a look around the rest of the park as it got way to busy.
 
 
 
 
Which included five minute's of me following a duck..
As you do..
 
 

How sweet are these little easter chicks?
 


 
We fall in love with flamingos at Birdland ,
We were also very jealous of whoever's back garden happened to be where the flamingos were placed.
 
I can imagine its rather perfect sat having afternoon tea overlooking a pretty stream home to flamingos!
 
 

 
 
Once we had finished up at Birdland we were pretty hungry so decided to take a little walk into the little village of Bourton on the water since some people had recommended it to us.
 
We defiantly weren't disappointed!
 
 

 
 
 
 
What beats sitting eating chips while filming on a river bank really?
(I was pretty jealous of all the kids paddling in the water though I have to say!)

 After around an hour we reluctantly decided to leave the picturesque village and go and see the puppies.. Although I did ask Gareth if we could make a quick de tour via a field that was full of little lambs - it was Easter after all!
 

 


 
Well that was my Easter weekend - minus a LUSH trip I am saving for a future post..
I'd love to hear what you got up to this Easter Weekend?

Monthly Round Up | MARCH

 
 Hey Guys!
Hope your all well ?
 
Another month has flown by and I didn't even see it happen, crazy how time flies eh.
This month again hasn't been too interesting since we are sorting out getting rid of an old flat along with loads of other things but these were the things that stuck out to me.
 
 
Trying to get fit.
 
This month (well in all honestly in the past week.) I have been trying my best to get my fitness back up to a decent standard. I have been doing the 30 Day Shred (you can find it on YouTube) alongside with some Victoria Secret abs & bum workouts again on YouTube..
I have been switching my workouts around so that I'm working my whole body as well as to stop me getting bored!
I will be uploading a update post with pictures next week for those of you interested.
 
 
Supporting Others.
 
Some of you may have read my post about me meeting Pinny who has just gone through transplant and had a few questions to ask - You can read that post here to get up to date.
Since I went to visit Pinny & Her family they have told me how much the visit helped and because of this I have decided to set up a page here on my blog and my Facebook that people can find contact details of mine so they can get in touch 24/7 if they or someone needs some support.
I am also hoping to be able to arrange visits too if my own health is permitting to support those who are going through there own transplant journey!
At the moment I am contactable via talkingtransplants@gmail.com
 
 
Attempting Recall.
 
We have had the puppies for almost 2 months now and I cant imagine not having them now!
We have loved playing with them on the field by our house but they have had there last jabs now, so we will be enjoying our first walk off base this Easter Sunday, because of this we have been trying to teach them recall (coming back when off the lead)
They have been doing pretty well to be honest - but keep your eyes peeled for a Youtube video soon :)
 
So yeah this month hasn't been crazy busy, but again another great month!
What was your favourite moment in March?
