My Month in iPhone Photos | April 2014

I did a post like this a while ago & I really enjoyed it, so since I'm back being a good blogger - I'm bringing it back, simply put, here are my favourite iPhone photos from April..

Easter fun *apologies for lack of Easter post but I just didn't get round to putting it all together and then it got toooo late and I was just way over it by then* I found this giant hot cross bun (below, left) at our local deli, it was amazing toasted with butter - you can't really tell how big it is from this photo but it was the size of a loaf of bread! Our table on Easter morning, (below) Freddie's face was priceless!



Coffee delivery - my addiction to Starbucks is pretty solid, it's got me through so rough sleep deprived times & coffee deliveries are always the best, absolutely obsessed with coffee frapps at the minute!

  
 Ok so.. Yes.. I am twenty five and yes I am also mother but this does not mean I can't go to watch McBusted and take a photo of the giant three boobs (below, left) so lovely to spend a couple of hours with a few of my friends pretending I was thirteen again!


 I don't think I've mentioned this on my blog yet, but I'm a big football fan. I support my local team, Burnley, who against all odds won automatic promotion to the Premier League this month. This was the amazing scene (below, left) following the final whistle on Easter Monday, it was such a proud and overwhelming day for me and one I was beyond happy to have shared with my dad and brother (who flew home to be there). We then obviously celebrated with champagne at a local bar (below, right). I love the way football connects people from every aspect and way of life, whilst I understand why many people aren't into it (think footballers are over paid etc) for me it's how I've been brought up and I wouldn't have it any other way - It's a big and important part of my life.

           




These are a couple of things I've consumed and loved this month, my dad made my day a couple of weeks ago with a cute little ice-cream delivery. (below, top right) I've hidden it deep in the freezer away from any ice-cream loving little three year olds. Freddie and I have made Easter nests (bottom, right) all throughout this month, so easy to do and amazing to enjoy with a cup of tea for a mid afternoon treat! I put the ice-cream to good use one evening and made cookie ice-cream sandwiches (below, bottom centre) which were amazing! 




I'm so happy spring has properly sprung, I love being outdoors however i'm not a massive fan of being outdoors in winter! Freddie has been enjoying wearing his shorts again and we've had a couple of trips to get ice lollies! The photo below was taken in a little place called Ilkley, which is near Leeds, I'm going to return there soon to do a little blog post as it's lovely and I felt my iPhone camera wouldn't do it the justice it deserves!


..And thats that! Hope you enjoyed..

A beach day in winter!?

Today, Freddie and I took a road trip over to a place called Lytham, which is on the west coast of Lancashire. Whilst the weather was windy and rather cold, the sun was still shining and we had a lovely afternoon walking along the sea front - It was a bit of a change from our usual haunt of St.Annes located about five minutes away, which has a pier and more of an old school sixties 'holiday destination' vibe. 

This year I decided that I would explore the west coast a little more and try to find different beaches or sea fronts that are less populated. Today only made me want to explore the coast further, so if any of you readers have a favourite place to visit in Lancashire, do let me know! I am praying that we get a repeat of last years glorious summer so that I can use my hidden beach findings to their full potential!

Lytham boasts a brilliant stretch of grass that runs parallel to the sea front - a handy alternative to sand, especially on such a windy day! We also found a few daisy's - even though it is the middle of winter, which Freddie enjoyed picking and handing out to everyone!





We wandered over the grass to the huge old windmill, that is sadly no longer in use but utterly beautiful. The contrast of the white against the green grass was stunning.




As it was almost lunch time and the sea air was making us rather hungry, we made our way into the centre of Lytham and of course found ourselves a chip shop because what else can you eat when beside the sea!? It was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend! 







After having a little stroll through the town centre - that was full of lovely little interior and boutique shops, we made our way back to the car along the sea front capturing a couple of precious moments!





Freddie loves going to the seaside and I would one day love to have a home that overlooked the water, it'd be so amazing to set out of your door straight on to the beach - insanely jealous if any of you currently live with that luxury! 

I do hope you're enjoying these little adventure posts, I certainly enjoy writing about them and sharing them with you - I do have to apologise for the poor quality photos however - I completely forgot to charge my camera and so I had to make do with my iPhone *must be more organised*
