New Home

We're in!!! What a whirlwind that was! Bye bye Windermere Way, Hello Bolas Avenue!

Chris and I had been talking about moving on and off for years but it was never the right time. We've always kept an eye out in Hartlebury which is the village where Chris grew up and where he works and where his Mum and Dad live. But the property has always been so expensive and there hasn't been that much choice. When I was away for a weekend in Chester in July for Deva Divas Chris text me to say he'd looked round a show home at a new building site (Taylor Wimpey) in Hartlebury and that he thought we should reserve one. When he watts app'd me the pictures I agreed it looked amazing and started to envisage us already living there!

As soon as I got home we contacted Purple Bricks and got ours on the market. One viewing (I might add....led by me!) and we had secured ourselves some cash buyers and the full asking price. The rest as they say is history! I can't believe how quickly the time flew by and the weekend we got back from France, we were hurried into our new home!

4 bedrooms with one en-suite, a main bathroom, a downstairs loo, a family kitchen/diner with separate lounge an office and a nice little garden was everything we'd dreamed of! It will take some time to make it our own, but for now we're all very happy here!

Adventures in Wales

I had never heard of Mumbles before Hannah invited us to go and stay. My geography is pretty terrible anyway and my guess of it being 45 minutes away was a little inaccurate (more like a 3hour drive) but oh my goodness was it worth it! It's absolutely stunning! We managed to time the drive pretty well as Bobs and I instructed at Buggyfit on the Friday 10-11am and then drove straight from there which meant that Bobs had a nap from about 11-1230pm. Then we stopped for lunch at Starbucks which he absolutely loved...and then just another 90 minute drive to arrive at our destination.

Will and Hannah's house was lovely with such incredible views. We were so well looked after and made to feel so welcome and Bobs enjoyed exploring somewhere new! The Friday we just went for a little walk to get our bearings but this somehow ended up with Bobs crawling across the sand and beach into the distance making a right mess! He was absolutely loving it! When we got back we'd brought half the beach with us! It was no wonder Bobs slept well that night (he's not the best of sleepers in his travel cot). Then we were up early doors on the Saturday for the Swansea Bay Park Run. Unfortunately on this occasion Bobs couldn't join in as it was no buggies allowed so thankfully Will took on

childcare duty whilst Hannah and I ran as fast as we could to burn off last night's fajitas and wine! I was really chuffed with how I ran clocking 21:34.

After the run we had the chance to go for a little walk round Mumbles town itself which was beautiful. There are so many nice cafes and little shops. We also had an explore round the castle which was fun but a little tricky with the buggy! The Saturday night it was nice to chill after our days adventures and then with the big drive ahead on the Sunday we decided to just leave for home in the morning so we could get back to see Daddy.

It's safe to say the seaside....and in particular Mumbles....was a huge hit with Bobs. We can't wait to go again.
