23

This month I turned 23.

I am generally a bit of a worrier in life. Recently I have been  thinking a lot about what I want from life. What I want to achieve and have and where I want to get to.

It's so easy to compare your life, yourself and the things you have to other people, especially these days with social media blaring it in your face all the time. I heard someone say how you can spend so much of your time comparing your life to other peoples and wanting more that you forget to actual enjoy what you have! Now I love goals and there's nothing wrong with wanting more and aiming for things in life but maybe it's also just as important to be happy with what you have now. And appreciate them so that you enjoy life and don't take things for granted.

So since I have just turned 23 I have written a mini bucket list of 23 things to do this year. Nothing big, nothing really difficult or life changing but just fun things that I want to do! And really enjoy and appreciate doing...

1. do a headstand
2. learn a piano song off by heart
3. bake some bread
4. make paper aeroplanes
5. read a classic book
6. make a den and sleep in it
7. bake my first christmas cake
8. build a snowman
9. get a disposable camera
10. learn to say hello in ten languages
11. get a pedicure
12. lie under the stars
13. draw a picture
14. buy a lottery ticket
15. learn to juggle
16. photobomb someone
17. make some truffles
18. go out for breakfast
19. watch the breakfast club
20. swim in the sea
21. watch a sunrise
22. watch a sunset
23. try a coffee expresso (actually did this one the day after my birthday)

so one down and 22 to go! here's to a fun year. ♥

INSTA-MAY

May looked very green over on my instagram and was filled with the usual, including food, lovely days out and of course my gorgeous puppy! ♥

BEST ROAST DINNER

One thing I miss since moving out of my parents house (5 years ago now, agh!) is a sunday roast. We would have it pretty much every sunday growing up without fail. Now Rob and I do like to have a roast dinner every now and again but it's a lot of effort for just two people especially with all the trimmings!

So last sunday we decided to have a little date night out and get a sunday roast dinner. We googled the BEST roast dinner's in leeds and headed to Brown's as it was number one on the list! It's such a lovely building and we sat by one of the huge window's in the early evening sunshine.

We both ordered the chicken which was £15, a little on the expensive side but came with lots of veg, yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and apricot stuffing which was a nice surprise and bread sauce, my absolute favourite. It was delicious and even filled us up enough to not have a pudding (that never happens).

I do love cooking but sometimes there's nothing better than having a plate of food put down in front of you to eat. No effort involved. Over all a lovely relaxing sunday date, possibly the best roast dinner in leeds but we definitely have a to try a few more before we decide :)
