Magazine delivery

I think I've got used to living without my weekly trips to WH Smith for magazines. I miss not picking up my favourite publications but the thought of handing over almost €10 for a copy of Cosmopolitan or Vogue just brings me out in a cold sweat. So the one thing that is always at the top of my list when anyone comes over, is magazines. 

And last week, Harrys cousin Katie was here on a flying visit (she is an air stewardess for BA) which meant one thing...MAGAZINES! And aside from my usual requests there were some extras thrown in that she picked up on the plane! Gotta love cousin Katie. 

So this is how I am spending my Sunday afternoon. 

August

I am not really sure where August came from, but suddenly its here and we are over half way through 2012 which kind of fills me with fear. I mean in a few months we will hit the 2 year mark - 2 years since we packed up and left London. I seriously can't believe how quickly the past 2 years have gone. It's crazy to think where we are now.

While we miss everyone, everyday, I know there is no other place we should be right now. Yesterday we spent the morning lounging in the sunshine at the pool. London really can't compete!

Sunday adventures

A few weeks ago, we took some days off and gave ourselves an extended weekend. So we decided to take a little trip. Sundays are usually my low key, low energy day; you know the washing has to be folded, the apartment tidied and the brain relaxed before Monday hits us at full force. But with a few extra days off, there is no Sunday night feeling in sight, just a tanned and tired English girl fresh from a day of rock climbing in Ayia Napa.

Ok so not technically rock climbing as you would think, I mean I am not really the sporting type. When I say rock climbing I mean more walking and clambering over rocks on the side of the bay in Ayia Napa. 

Not just content to laze on my sun-lounger all day long, I opted to take advantage of my surroundings and take some snaps, a. to make you all insanely jealous of where we live and b. so this blog post would be a bit more visually pleasing.

When you think of Ayia Napa, you probably dont have the best thoughts. We have found a lovely little beach, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of clubbers paradise, where the sand is white, the water is a clear and everytime we go, I feel like I am on holiday. 

I think I will let the photographs do the rest of the talking. 

a birthday boy

Harry's birthday was a few weeks back and the big 25th birthday was pretty low key actually. I did buy his favourite cakes from the bakery, topped with candles and I got him so pretty awesome presents if I do say so myself. 

Not only did I purchase D&G sunglasses to replace his well loved and falling apart Oakley's [from an amazing website in New Zealand which offers bargains on designer sunnies] but I also got him a print he had been lusting after - although to be honest the only reason I bought it was because it was pink! 

And to top it off, I bought a hilarious card fit for someone who doesn't care for cards at all.
