February Review.

Hello my friends. 
Hope to find you well. 

How did your weekend fair? Mine went by in the flash of an eye. I was looking forward to a lovely weekend and then found myself on Sunday evening frantically writing this blog post!

Friday evening was spent learning the second part of the ballroom dance at my weekly class. We continued learning the foxtrot, the social dance that’s full of fast and slow movements which twist and turn at a fairly fast pace. I managed to grasp all the moves and as usual throughly enjoyed the whole dance. We generally learn a dance in two to three weeks and then move onto a new routine. The dance club also arranges dance events every month, but I never join them because they’re at the weekend - I don’t like to leave the family as my weekends with them and David are so precious. Do you like to spend all your weekends with the family?

Sunday, after helping Sophie at a cake sale for a well deserving cause, was spent with some of the kids and grandkids for a chicken roast. I’d prepared most of the vegetables before leaving and upon returning home, in the afternoon, I helped David complete the dinner. We had roast chicken and potatoes, with cauliflower cheese, carrots, swede, roasted parsnips and Yorkshire puddings, accompanied by stuffing and bread sauce. Do you have to have all the accompaniments when you have a roast?

As it’s the beginning of a new month I always have a post that looks back on the previous month and I like to share what I got up to. So welcome to the …

Such a short month it seems like only yesterday i shared this gorgeous co-ord from Marks & Spencer. I’ve heard it’s in demand so I’m pleased I managed to find this outfit. 
Do let me know if you preferred it together or separately!

February Review.

Good morning everyone. 
How’s it going?
Welcome to my first blog post of the month and welcome to March!
This weekend really did seem like the beginning of Spring as the weather was so nice. Mind you, It was still really cold but working outside with the sun on my face was a real treat! David and I have still been cutting the hedge. It’s not as cut and dried as just cutting things down though, there’s raking, shredding and loading into a skip to contend with so on Saturday night we were both knackered!  We’re still following a Keto diet so decided on a cheeky takeaway again which I hasten to add was Keto friendly. On a very good plus side I’ve found out that Prosecco is one of the drinks that you can have on this diet, so long as calories are counted so I’ve been a happy bunny finding this out!  
I’m planning on a trip to the cinema to watch Bridget Jones - Mad About the Boy, however I embarrassed to admit I’ve not actually watched all the previous films only have I seen the first one a couple of times! I’m not even sure why to be honest, just not my cup of tea, but I’m suffering a bit of fomo so I’m binge watching all the films before I visit the local cinema in order to know just what’s going on in this one!! 😂

Sunday was a more relaxed affair, I helped my daughter out with her AirBNB and after David finished trimming the part of the hedge I couldn’t get to last year, we popped to Sainsbury’s to grab something for dinner. We came home with a small joint of beef and some veg that we roasted. He made a gravy that was fairly good (had to use 
Xanthan Gum - Keto friendly) so all in all it was a nice dinner and I was stuffed! I ended the evening with the last Bridget Jones film I’d missed!

Anyway back to this month’s review. 
I usually take a look back on what I shared over the previous month, so welcome and thanks for stopping by to read my ….
February Review. 

Back at the beginning of the month I shared this fancy jumper that’s covered in a beautiful collection of pearls. 
I’m sure this winter white look wasn’t the best choice for many of the days last month due to the wet weather, but I’m excited to think this month might be perfect for it.
