Mum and I have been gardening this month. We’ve planted hanging baskets (with the assistance of my very knowledgable Nana) and some pretty colourful potted plants (on a bench in the garden so that Archie can’t eat them!) I’ve also planted a bed of bee-friendly wildflowers, and some tomatoes, strawberries and scotch bonnets. I’ve not been very good at gardening in the past, so fingers crossed I’m more succesful this time!
James has visited a lot this month (yay!) This is him helping me make cupcakes. We’ve also been on a day out to Birmingham, gone on a lot of walks and watched a lot of Buffy (only one more season to go! Season 6 was my favourite so far.)
Asides from my birthday, blossoms must be the best thing about April. I’m lucky that my street is filled with blossom trees!
This is me looking groovy in my daytime birthday outfit 
April has been a really fun blogging month! I’ve worn these funky Lavish Alice dungarees, some printed trousers from People Tree, and a vintage jumpsuit in Sorrento. I’ve shared my travel photos from Italy, an interview with Oh Dear Drea (one of my all time favourite bloggers!) and this tasty cupcake recipe. Archie made an appearance as the Easter Bunny, I did my first ever wishlist post, shared some photos my friend Joe took of me and last but not least announced that I will be opening an etsy shop! Phew.
This month I also wrote a post about what home means to me for my gorgeous friend Chloe’s blog, Of North.
If you hadn’t already gathered, yesterday was my birthday. I love birthdays, and I had a lovely relaxed day staying in my pyjamas until noon, eating blueberry waffles, drinking sangria and eating out with James and my family in the evening. I’m really looking forward to travelling to the Peak District with my friends this weekend. We will be staying in a camping barn again, just like we did for my last birthday!
My last piece of news is that Archie did not enjoy his bunny date, so we didn’t bring a new bunny home. The stress of travelling to the RSPCA actually made him quite ill (maybe he thought we were going to leave him there?) But you’ll be pleased to know he’s feeling better now. Although I feel bad for making him worry, it’s good to know that he’s happy being a bachelor bunny, and that his human family is company enough!
Here’s to a succesful May! What have you been up to this month?
Yay! Happy Birthday! Sounds like a perfect day, with more fun to come!
April looked like a sunny month! Happy belated birthday and I hope you’ll have a lovely weekend
Happy birthday, Jess! You had a happy, busy month–here’s to a wonderful year! Glad to hear Archie is okay.
Happiest of birthdays, Jess! So happy to see you had a good one. And I’m glad to hear Archie’s doing just fine, always scary when our fur babies aren’t feeling well.
Happy belated birthday, and you are indeed lucky to live amongst all those pretty blossom trees.
