I hope you're not rolling your eyes at me for talking about Christmas at the end of November, but guys you do know that December begins tomorrow and so the month of festivities begin! It wouldn't be Christmas for us without going to choose the tree {see this post from last year too}. It's become a tradition in our family, ever year at the

end of November driving up to Sarratt, a local village to visit Martin who has a whole farm full of trees ready and waiting to be taken home and adorned in lights. For every tree he cuts, he plants another in it's place. One magical year it was even snowy!

I always feel a little guilty when I get to a Friday to write this post and realise that I haven't posted anything since last weekend. Sorry y'all but I promise there will be a big overhaul of this blog next year with the new house. Here's what I've been doing instead of blogging this week - I went to my Nephew's 2nd Birthday party, I saw Spectre at The Rex cinema {v v good by the way}, 3 pilates classes, the usual running/dog walks, attended an event for So You're Getting Married, went to view the new house again to measure up for a few bits so we can start the new plans, tidied and cleaned our house top to bottom ready for viewings on an open day tomorrow, had a family dinner party last night and today got the Christmas Tree! Chuck in some admin, emails and work into the mix too. And looking after my poorly husband, he'll only get a cold once a year but when he does you sure know about it. So that's me! How about you?? And yes it's not even December yet for the Christmas tree but when you get them cut down fresh they last for weeks and weeks. This weekend marks the start of all things Merry and Bright, tomorrow my Mumma and I are off to make a Christmas wreath which is handy to avoid all these people coming to view our house {which I feel super weird about} and then it's operation decorate! My friend Sophie is hosting a dinner party tomorrow night and I can't wait for a girly evening. Sunday I think will be chilled out just decorating the tree and I really want some time to sit on my ipad and see what good Black Friday deals there are to be had! Hope you have a lovely weekend, I'll start some Christmassy blog posts soon.

'A house is made of bricks and beams, a house is made of love and dreams!'

Oh, our beloved house... it's been a tough tough couple of weeks trying to decide what to do for the best. Let me tell you from the start! 

I've featured our loft room before {here}. It always had a photo wall above the desk but recently I replaced all the big photos with instagram prints instead. I love the little squares with their white borders and the fact that they're all the same orientation now compared to the mismatch before. It feels fresher in there. A few of you have asked how it was done so I thought I'd share a little DIY on it.

I've been a bad blogger recently. I don't really know what happened, just lost my way with it a bit. I didn't even write a weekend post on Friday! Been a bit pre-occupied {post on that coming soon},  I've still posting lots of insta but just haven't sat down with my laptop in what feels like forever. But here I am, checking in with some photos from a recent stay in The Cotswolds. The full post is on So You're Getting Married with a little guide I've written to the Cotswolds but as always I wanted to share some photos on here to look back on. Autumn leaves, doortraits, Daylesford and the like. It was heaven.

Last week I attended an autumn wreath making workshop {for work! I know right...} for So You're Getting Married and I can't stop looking at it. I mean, wreaths are technically for Christmas I think but who's to say you can't have one to pretty up your door year each season? I think this will have to become an annual thing.
