After two weeks of Cardiff fun bubbling in the sunshine with my mum, I drove back to London today. It was bittersweet as I’m going to miss mum SO MUCH after spending two weeks straight with her, but also super happy to be reunited with my handsome Nic!
Here’s hoping that I can see mum and my sister much sooner than the last 7 month wait! As I truly had a wonderful time.
It’s my nephew’s birthday next week so today we put together his birthday present from me and mum – a massive 12 foot trampoline!! It took me and my brother-in-law ages to put together but it was so much fun once we did! I may be x10 his age but I still had a whale of a time (after he got the first go of course)!
It’s Friday and we’re BBQing! What’s there not to smile about? Lovely BBQ with mum as the sun sat low in the sky. I’ll miss these evenings when I get back to London this weekend.
We’re getting closer and closer to the launch date of my new product at work, so it’s full steam ahead and busy days at work right now!
Which means I’m also still taking great joy in my evening adventures out with mum as a way to calm down after work. Today we went to Penarth Pier for a lovely walk before eating chips in the car (it was cold alright?!)
I just can’t get enough of this amazing weather I’m having whilst in Cardiff. The clear blue skies made for another gorgeous sunset walk after dinner. We even nosed into my old high school which was fun!
I got to see one of my best friends from home today after over a year! Rach and I went for a really nice lunchtime walk in the sun with her dog Cooper. It was so lovely to finally be able to catch up in person. Every new day feels closer and closer to our previous ‘normal’ before covid and that makes me very pleased.
I love going out for a walk once I’ve finished work. It’s a great way to officially end the working day and take some time to chill out. Our sunset stroll this evening was to the weir and it was just gorgeous watching the birds on the water and the listening to the water flowing.
Mum and I ran 10km this morning! It was her first 10k since she broke her leg six years ago so it was a great feat, made especially so by the beautiful sunny weather we had for it.
Later in the afternoon we headed for a walk around Roath Park. We saw so many adorable little goslings, it made my heart melt. Another gorgeous day in sunny Cardiff.
We’re absolutely winning with the weather this trip! It may be chilly but the sun is certainly shining. This afternoon mum and I went to Llantwit Major to have a walk along the cliff tops. It was stunningly beautiful, and thoroughly blew away any remaining cobwebs I had hanging around!
A perk of being at my childhood home is my bears are still happily here! Caramello has made it into my bed for this trip which is bringing all types of happy memories back.
