    Hello old friends.

    Thought you were wondering where I’d been for so long.

    Crikey, it’s been nearly two months since I last graced this little old blog with any written word. There’s been so much happening in my life, some exciting, some not so much that I’ve just not had a) the time or b) the inclination to put finger to keyboard.

    And I just had to accept that, that was okay. So here’s a little mini thank you for sticking around and waiting for me to come out from the woodwork.

    I’ve got a little catch up coming about all the things I’ve been up to recently and the things I’m looking forward to…

    Before I even start, I have to say I had THE BEST weekend when we took a trip to the gateway of the Yorkshire dales. I know, I know spoiler alert already, but seriously, we had an action packed itinerary to make sure we got to see the whole of the estate had to offer and it was the perfect concoction of exhilaration & relaxation at the Coniston Hotel, Skipton. With an early start, from our home it took only 50 minutes to get there and luckily a brunch was waiting for us on arrival. And you know your gal loves nothing more than a yummy brunch!

    Ever just look around you and think, “I need a break?!”

    Well, my life was starting to get like that and truth be told, I really needed a change of scenery to overcome this sense of what felt like impending doom. With deadlines, tiredness and lots of commitments, I was starting to run on very-nearly empty. I decided was enough was enough and I needed an escape plan, PRONTO.

    You see, I always seem to get like this when I know I have time off work coming up so this getaway was something to try keep that anxious feeling at bay.

    I started scrolling online for UK destinations that we could get to easily for a short, weekend break. (Trying to tally up two very different annual leave calendars can be so blumming difficult!)

    We narrowed it down to roughly an hour and half’s car journey when we found the perfect home away from in the Peak District with Sykes Cottages.

    Every once in a while you jut have to say, “to hell with it!”

    The start of the year hasn’t gone quite the way I had planned, details one shall not go in to (but don’t worry, it’s nothing too bad but it feels like the tide is going against half of the time.) It’s the small moments of calm that I take pleasure in at the moment because everything else seems so frantic 98.5% of the time. I just feel like I need a lot of pampering to distract me from it all. So, when the opportunity arose to experience a little bit of luxury de-stressing at Rudding Park Spa, Harrogate I decided to grab life by the balls and enter a state of serene at this magnificent Spa.

    I have two very distinct styles. One where I feel like I’m “put together” and like to channel the likes of Erica Davies, Lizzy Hadfield et al. And, then there’s one where I am heading on outdoor pursuits and when I’m on the farm. It’s an eclectic mix, but a balance I like to try to get right. We’ve recently returned from a weekend break in the Peak District with Sykes Cottages, which not only meant cosy cottage vibes but plenty of outdoorsy-ness too. Despite the sunshine being on our side, it was that blisteringly cold weather that you only experience in the Winter here. So, that means wearing warm, essential items to keep as tucked up as possible.
