There is nothing quite as exciting as moving house and making the new place your very own. In September we moved into a new place and, while it was very exciting, it needed an immense amount of hard work! We have finally got more or less everything sorted now in our cosy little flat - apart from the flooring in the bathroom. So I thought I'd share the before and after pictures with you all!
The entrance to our main living area...
The wonders of pretty wallpaper and a lick of paint!
Still awaiting flooring and the new sink to be fitter, but a darn sight better than it was!
The study, complete with messy desks!
The "lobby" area...
Our front room
Our little kitchen... Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake!
The Lobby - with Danny!

One of several musical instruments littering the flat... Couldn't quite manage to get the double bass mounted on the wall however ;)

Some of my many books... I'm no longer allowed to buy any more as we're rapidly running out of bookshelf space!

Pretty boxes :)
I have just returned from a city break in Athens. It was a wonderful mini break after a long and tiring half term at school... Above is a snap of me on a rocky hill just outside of the Acropolis. The views were spectacular and you could see the whole of the city sprawled out all around you - beautiful!
Beutiful views of the snowy Alps on our flight to Athens.
Our meal in the traditional family-run Greek taverna. The meatballs, moussaka and the greek slad were delicious!
Mmmm feta and olives!
We did have a bit of bad luck with the weather and here's me doing the obligatory "singing-in-the-rain" moment.
Nutella croissant for breakfast!? Yes please!
Goats cheese and olives are among my favouite things... so I was in heaven!
One of the theatre's at the foot of the Acropolis
On our first day we visited the Acropolis, as we reached the lofty ruins a huge dark ominous cloud came across the hills and there was a thunder storm! With the Acropolis being build on solid rock we quickly felt like we were rock-pooling with all the huge puddles springing up! We got absolutely drenched, but we made a quick pit-stop to a Starbucks for tea and hot chocolate and changed into dry clothes at our hotel.
Beautiful views!
Over the break (on Valentine's Day) there was also a little addition to my ring finger...
Ta-dah! The beautiful engagement ring :D
Relaxing and enjoying the views... one guess to decide which feet belong to me!
I would totally recommend a visit to the Greek Capital. There is so much to see, culture to take in, and delicious food!
