BRIDES UP NORTH

Earlier this week something very exciting happened, our wedding was featured on bridesupnorth.com! When we were planning the wedding I loved looking at real weddings for inspiration and ideas and spent a lot of time on blogs and pinterest to see what other people had done. Even now with my wedding planning over and done I love to have a nosy at other couple's special days to see the choices and little details that make each wedding personal and unique.

I was very excited to be asked to have our wedding featured on the blog and flattered that they thought other people might want to have a look too. So if you're planning a wedding and want some inspiration or you just fancy a little peek into our wedding day go check out the post here.

SKIES

I am fascinated by the sky, it's incredible how it changes constantly day by day, minute by minute and I can't resist taking photos of it all the time. Since being in leeds I've definitely been appreciating it more and wanted to share a few photos I've taken through my bedroom window recently so you can appreciate it too.

After taking quite a few photos and deciding to write this blog post my sister India posted up practically the same post over on her blog! I don't know if it's the sky in leeds or if we're just very synced up as sisters but it made me laugh that we were obviously on the same wave length! She has a great blog sharing her 'today' with the world and you should definitely check it out here ...even just to see our matching posts :)

ED SHEERAN

For my birthday this year I got tickets to see Ed Sheeran at the O2. My birthday's in june and the concert was last week so it was a long time to wait. Now that we live in leeds it was quite a drive down to london and back on a wednesday evening, but it was definitely worth it! Ed is one of my all time favourite artists and he did not disappoint. It was two hours of him and a guitar, listening to his amazing voice (which sounds just as good live) and the beautiful songs that he's written, some of which we used at our wedding so it brought back some lovely memories.

I've shared a few of my instagram photos from the night but also wanted to post his new video for thinking out loud that was released this week. The lyrics are beautiful and just remind me of such a happy day now. I also love the video and think the choreography is stunning. Hope you enjoy it too and I am definitely planning to see him again when I next get the chance to!

CHOCOLATE NUTTERS

So, this blog post was half written for a while, then we moved house, then we had no wifi which has led me here into Starbucks in Leeds (our new home...Leeds not Starbucks hehe) where it has finally been finished!

Generally I really enjoy cooking (especially baking) although I can't say it always turns out how the recipe book says it should. I don't do it a lot but I love to find a new recipe to try and cook for tea or bake some biscuits or buns that I haven't before. And now being in a new house with all our own things in, including a lot of kitchen things that we received as lovely wedding presents, I am determined to do a lot more of it.

The other week I made chocolate nutters which were very easy to make and very yummy! I actually chose the recipe because it didn't include any baking powder which I had none of and only one egg which is all I had :) I found the recipe in a baking book that I completely forgot about and will definitely be getting more use out of now! It was great fun baking and trying something new and I even had a little helper who mainly helped by eating the biscuits and licking the bowl.

happy baking!

Yesterday afternoon Rob and I went out for a wander round Beverley, a cute little town close by. We stumbled across the food festival that happened to be on and had a lovely time wandering round the stalls and sampling as many freebies as possible! We then went across to Beverley Westwood to enjoy some ice creams in the October sunshine.

Sometimes you forget what a lovely time you can have without planning anything or spending a lot of money. We're both looking forward to moving to Leeds in the next week or so and having new places to explore together.

WEDDING VIDEO

Here's a little bit more of our wedding day, captured in this beautiful video filmed and edited by my sisters. It's so lovely to have footage of the day to look back on and brings back all the feelings of happiness and excitement I felt in those moments. Hope you enjoy it...
