Snapshot Sunday #9

I've had a really lovely weekend. One of the best in a while!
It was my Mum's 60th birthday yesterday, and she also retired on Friday. We had some family & friends round to celebrate in the evening so I spent the afternoon making some cupcakes for the occasion. After some cuddles with my gorgeous nephew, Ben and I headed out to my bestie's engagement drinks. A night full of wedding talk and a couple of glasses of rosé.

Today, we treated my Mum and Dad to afternoon tea at Coworth Park in Ascot, which was beautiful. The tea was gorgeous - I had coconut tea, and we filled ourselves up with plenty of finger sandwiches, scones and pastries. It was definitely worth the big bill at the end! Afterwards, we took a stroll around the grounds - taking cheesy family photos along the way, of course.

All in all, a brilliant end to a boring week! What have you been up to?

This Bank Holiday Weekend has so far seen me do some holiday shopping, go to the Harry Potter Studio Tour and have more cuddles with my beautiful nephew.

I went to the HP Studio Tour with Ben's Mum, and we had such a great time. The only disappointment we had was the fact there was no butterbeer :( There was something wrong with the water/machine so they were unable to serve them.
It's animal week there this week - I'm a bit animal-mad, especially when it comes to cats (erm, that's an obvious one) and the fact there were KITTENS there made it all the more exciting. I had my photo taken with Hedwig, bought a chocolate frog and took a million photos. I'm sure we missed a few things as there was so much to see, so we plan to go back sometime. And hopefully get to taste butterbeer...

How is everyone else's weekend going? It's nice to see some sunshine again - a rare occurance for a bank holiday!

This weekend has been an exciting one. A VERY exciting one indeed. That little fella above is my nephew! Ethan was born Saturday night weighing a very healthy 8lbs 5oz. I am LOVING being an Auntie so far, and cannot describe how much I love him already. My brother and sister-in-law have the most perfect son. ♥

Apologies for the rubbish iPhone photo. I'll be sure to take some photos of him with his Mummy and Daddy with my SLR very soon.

Hope you've all had as lovely a weekend as I have :)
