This is my second to last week in my current job, so had the potential to drag, but the following things have made it splendid!
1. Kerry's Birthday Trip to North Devon: we took the in-laws to Devon for Kerry's 70th over the Bank Holiday weekend and it was incredible! We hired an Airbnb with a stunning view of Woody Bay (see above) and spent the weekend walking, eating and exploring. I feel it is easy to overlook just how beautiful the UK is, but last weekend really brought it home to me. I am so grateful I was able to spend time in such a perfect place with my family.

2. One year in our house: Saturday 23rd May 2015 marked a whole year since we moved into our wonderful house in North London. I never thought a place could give me so much pleasure. Every day, good or bad, I feel overwhelmingly grateful to live in this rambling Victorian house which we have made our own. I strongly believe that if you enter a home, you should know the people in it, even if they are not in at the time. I feel our home has that feeling and it is just the best! I am so excited to renovate it gradually and to fill it with our family over many years to come.
3. New glasses: this may seem a trivial one, but this week my two new pairs of glasses from Glasses Direct arrived. They were super cheap (under £70 for both pairs) but they look great and I am very much enjoying using glasses as an accessory rather than just a necessity.
4. #poirottombs 1st birthday: yes, I realise I am a crazy cat lady but we celebrated our cat's first birthday, with a personalised bowl for our favourite furry. He brings so much joy to our lives and I am very, very grateful we decided to acquire a cat before we acquired a bed or a sofa this time last year!!
