It’s a blogger cliche isn’t it, to be obsessed with candles? I am but to be honest I love anything to do with home fragrance. Reeds, plug ins, candles, pot purri and melts. I’m a sucker for it.
I have 3 house cats and a stinky husband…. fresh rooms are always my goal so I was over the moon when I finally discovered Flamingo Candles
If you follow my social streams, you will undoubtedly know that Paul and I recently ventured to Utrecht in Holland with DFDS via Amsterdam. If not, you can check out some of my snaps and tweets using #UtrechtUncut
To keep the posts to a reasonable length, I thought I would break them down in to more bite size chunks.
First up, how we got to Utrecht.
Tucked away on the banks of the River Tees, near Yarm, Preston Park Museum resides in acres of park land.
I haven’t been in over 20 year but with the promise of a modern history museum, a Victorian Street and as many walking routes as you could possibly imagine, I couldn’t resist going back.
Officially opened as a museum in 1953 and rebranded in 2012, I took my Mam along to check it out.
Now that we are in full swing of the summer holiday season, it’s no surprise that 27th July saw the start of the most popular holiday week in the UK.
I peaked far too early with my holiday this year by going on May 1st which means I have had to watch everyone else go away (Boo!).
We have been unsure when the sale of our new house would complete and couldn’t commit to booking a holiday until we were sure. To make up for that, Paul and I have been having days out and weekends filled with home grown adventures both near and far! We usually try to go away for his birthday which falls in the middle of August. This year we settled for an American themed drinks party full of our favourite treats from trips across the states.
