HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Last week it was my 26th birthday – I know, crazy right! I always say this, but where does the time go? Another year older and I swear I’m starting to notice a few extra wrinkles; quite scary really. 

For those of you who don’t know I lost my dad just over 6 years ago, so I always get a bit ‘funny’ around my birthday. It’s hard because it’s that one time of year, along with my Dad’s birthday and Christmas that you’re reminded that they’re not here and it’s another year they’ve missed. Looking back at what I’ve achieved during the age of 25, it’s sad that my Dad wasn’t able to see it all. And turning another year older, you know you’ve got another year ahead which they will also miss.

I try and not make a fuss on my birthday anymore. I used to have huge parties and plan for months, but I used to end up disappointed. So instead I now keep things low key and am a bit more spontaneous.

This year I celebrated with my boyfriend and our new puppy Luna. We drove for about an hour to a really nice beach called Aldeburgh, looked around the cute town and sat and ate fish and chips on the beach. If anyones been before, then yes, we did go to the best chippy! And no, we were lucky and didn’t have to queue!

After a cute afternoon on the beach we headed back home and stopped off at a quaint antique shop. I nearly purchased a few things for the home, but you know when you then stop and think about your bank account… I then thought it would be a bad idea!

To end my birthday, my boyfriend took me to Milsoms in Colchester for dinner. We both had hearty, warm meals which were delicious and it was a really nice ending to the day.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on Instagram. Here’s to being 26!
