Hello Nicabella

It's hard to believe...

That this was my view just 10 days ago. Poolside at the Pullman Arcadia Phuket. 

Incredible!

It’s almost Easter and reality has it that as much as I would have loved to put together a little DIY to celebrate…it just isn’t going to happen. So, rather than dwell on my infinite lack of time this week (and sleep it seems) I wanted to share with you a list of rather awesome DIY Easter projects I've come across recently.

Strawberry pickin'

This was how I kicked off the New Year…strawberry pickin’. After enjoying laid back celebrations the night before (that involved watching fireworks from the top of a mountain minutes from home and almost getting blown away in gale force winds it was nice to continue trend and spend the day soaking up some sunshine. Or should I say just try to pretend it wasn't 30 plus degrees and that sweating profusely was uber cool. 

Ricardoes grow the most amazing tomatoes and strawberries, and have won numerous awards for their jams, chutneys and relishes.

I must say strawberry picking is addictive. In no time I'd filled by 1kg bucket to the brim!

Couldn't go past taking one of these gorgeous lettuces home.

Hello 2013

I’d hoped that today I could think of something profound to write to welcome in the New Year, but instead all that comes to mind is saying a humble thank you. Thank you first and foremost to my family and closest friends for the past year of love, laughs and fond memories and thank you to each of you who have found your way to this blog, it’s given me such a buzz.

2012 was a huge year of change for me. HUGE. There’s no denying that when I wrote this post, I was still really struggling emotionally over past events, despite trying to sound positive about where I hoped the year would lead. Then, it’s as if life did a 180 on me. Some really freaking awesome things started happening to me, such as my surprise holiday, this tutorial that’s been a pinning frenzy on pinterest and I got back in the saddle on my lovely Matty after a long break away from competition riding.

Twelve months on I’m proud to say I achieved what I set out to and some. Here’s hoping 2013 is full of more awesomeness!

Happy New Year xx
