location...

it's taken us a little time...but I think we've found the location for our wedding...nestled in the centre of the Valpolicella region just outside of Verona. A small family run Agriturismo with amazing views and the relaxed atmosphere we've been looking for...the date will be confirmed this week. But the countdown has now begun...

fun in La la land...

Off to a busy start...

This post is a little late being posted but better late than never...
What a crazy way to start the new year...it's been none stop...i wish i could say I'm looking forward to February for a rest but it's just gonna be busier & messier.
We found our way to Liverpool to celebrate the recent engagement with my roomies family, we had a ball along with a visit to the Immigration office to get a new passport for me...it feels like an end of an era, which I guess it is really. What an amazing ten years it's been on that passport...never to forget! Super excited for the next set of adventures and travels...
After a weekend in Liverpool with treats to the cinema and a delicious feast UNI Indian restaurant on Renshaw Street I headed down to London. A couple of days there for work and a chance to see friends...a night at the theatre, a night in front of the TV and a night eating & drinking.
One nights sleep back in Verona and then off to Madrid for the weekend.

An Engagement...

Well, the New Year couldn't of started with a bigger more wonderful surprise than that of my amazing roomie popping the question on January 1st.

It has to be said he is so chuffed with himself for managing to surprise me and catching me completely off guard. We are so looking forward to sharing our lives together and having the people we love the most around us to support us in this crazy thing called love! 

It was a truly amazing day....

For a third year in a row, we made the drive up to Bormio to celebrate my birthday with massages and mud baths...this year however Karuna & I had two little helpers at hand, we thought it time to show the boys what all the hype was about. 

With a slight fluttering of snow on Friday we arrived safe and sound without any detours and ready for bed.

Saturday couldn't have been better, spa time in the morning a massage before lunch and then relaxation room and mint tea in the afternoon. This place really is something very special. 

Sunday we managed to trek our way through 15cm of snow, a new experience to add to our adventures in Bormio.

Can't wait for next year....
