Photo Diary: The August Round Up

A little slice of Morocco ~ my sister knows me so well 

Party bubbles and a slice of cake after celebrating my friend's 21st! @ Hoebridge Golf Course, Woking

Forever and always my happy place (because I'm eighty) @ RHS Wisley Gardens

The most beautiful bouquet of flowers sent by my Godparents

When your sister presents you with this on your birthday. So much love.

Damn straight I ate a slice of this for breakfast. My mum said I could!

Defeated after the MONSTROUS afternoon tea. #Amateurs. @ Aviator Hotel, Farnborough

When your cousins buy you gifts that reflect what you've written about on your blog. Genius (and super sweet!)

Popping out on my lunch break to have a natter with the Queen. Obvs. @ Windsor Castle, Windsor

I welcomed in August as any super-cool-hip-urban youth should, by standing next to my BFF in five inch heels and a potentially-too-short party dress waving my limbs in the air (like I so totally did not care) to the absolute classic that is, the macarena. Followed by, of course, the cha cha slide. Well, how else does one celebrate a twenty-first birthday?! I feel like doing this really helped set the tone of the thirty-one days to come.

August was a time of lots of cake, lots of celebrations and lots of birthdays! Clearly December is a month in which people enjoy getting busy if you know what I mean... *cough*... Anyway; besides clogging my arteries with cakey goodness, I also took time to hang out in the lack off sun, visit my favourite farm shop (to stock up on my latest obsession: dark chocolate) and my favourite organic farm park (because what would a weekend be if it didn't involve fresh produce?) and play this song on repeat.

I also had to splurge on some fancy new office gear because I started my new job! You can read all about it here, but I'm having the best time and I can't believe how lucky I am. If you ever find yourself near Windsor, be sure to stop and take a look around, it is for real the most beautiful place to spend 37.5 hours a week.

Autumn creeps closer by the day (the season, I mean, not some random girl) and I am super excited for all the festivities to begin!

NOT FORGETTING:

We all discovered the true identity of 'A' (I'm still not over it); the Great British Bake Off returned, and so did their hilarious twitter commentary; Selfridges London opened their Christmas department (yolo); and I learnt the hard way what a forty-minute commute everyday via car does to your sanity...
