That was a fantastic weekend!

Hello my darlings,

Hope you’re well. 

I’ve had a fan-tastic weekend and to be honest really needed it!

Both David and I worked hard at our youngest son’s house clearing a very overgrown garden. We filled a skip full to debris having chopped and cut lots of trees, shrubs and plants that had been left to multiply! We were both exhausted and returned home to chill in the garden. David suggested we head off into town to have dinner so almost reluctantly we both got ourselves ready for the taxi ride to Canterbury which took us to our restaurant. Salt Steak House served various steaks, chickens with delicious side dishes which all sounded divine. I picked their ribeye special which came with chips, salad and a portion of bread. I have to say I was very good and only had half the chips along with the steak and salad, at no point did I touch the bread! 

We settled on a bottle of champagne which went down very nicely indeed. Once finished we both passed on desserts, so after paying the bill headed off to one of the many pubs in the city to have another cheeky glass of fizz. This one lacked atmosphere so once we’d finished our drinks we made our way to my favourite venue which served Porn Star Martinis - what a delicious cocktail and one I’d throughly recommend! Do you have a ‘go-to’ cocktail?

Sunday was another lovely day, somewhat more chilled with a spot of grass cutting and dinner prep for a roast dinner. It was only going to be David and I but my eldest daughter popped round with her family and decided to stay for dinner, we managed to make the chicken go round a couple more mouths, it’s amazing how adding more vegetables and a packet of frozen Yorkshire’s will make a meal stretch further. 

Fortunately the weather was lovely over the weekend so deciding what to wear was easy. I seem to be hot all the time now, well in the Summer I am, so opted for a thin summer dress. I’ve not worn this pretty halter style midi for ages, so knowing it would be cool I popped it on. 

It doesn’t take me long to get my hair styled and makeup on which is always nice after the sticky hot day in the garden. That’s something I love when you’ve worked hard at something to get showered and dressed up, even if it’s only for sitting in the garden!

So once my makeup and hair was done I slipped this pretty green floral on and picked some comfy shoes, these slip on heels are one of the most comfortable pairs I own and I have to say they’ve really earned their keep! I only wished I’d bought the black pair too!

It was SO good to have a night out with David, we’ve not been able to spend quality time together for ages and really needed it! Just being able to talk outside normal surroundings was brilliant and we laughed so much reliving memories, talking about our hopes and dreams and reminiscing about past times with family and friends. We spoke about family members we’d lost and what we needed to do in the future, it’s so good to reset and reconnect, and it was just what we needed! Do you get a chance to enjoy your partner, it’s so important to make time for each other isn’t it!

Try to make time for your partner, even if it’s just a quick cuppa in a little coffee shop!
