Bank Holiday Weekend

Firstly I want to say hello, welcome to Me And My Wonderland and thank you for visiting!

I don't know about anyone else, but I have definitely been enjoying this influx of long weekends recently...unfortunately the one we have just had is the last for a while now, and Tuesday came around far too quickly! Back to work and back to reality and it feels as if we didn't even have time off! (I came back to 157 emails...joy) I think we should all propose 3 day weekends and 4 day weeks?! I spent some much needed time with the better half, friends and family. I live close to Greenwich which is a really beautiful part of London, it almost doesn't feel as if you are in London, loads of green and when the sun is shining it's a really lovely place to spend time and relax.

We even managed to sit by the river when the tide was out, like a little beach in London, I wasn't to keen on paddling in the Thames though! As an original country bumpkin (both me and my boyfriend are from Dorset) it is really nice to feel like you have a bit of home away from home, the beach is the one place I miss the most...

Feet are back in the sand :)
Our London Beach...not too bad eh?

Although I do miss the countryside I have completely fallen in love with London and can't imagine leaving, when Alex and I first came we went through 3 stages... Stage 1: being crazy excited to move here and loving everything about it - we wanted to see as much as we could and invite everyone to come and visit. Stage 2: Hating everything about it - the people EVERYWHERE, the underground - there is always delays and closures when you are in a rush and taking the tube in general is exercise in itself, the fact that you literally have no money and notice the cat is eating better than you are (I'm not even joking) and personal space being a distant memory...but then we got to our final stage: finding our place in London life and loving everything about it, even the underground.


So wherever you spent it and whoever you spent it with, I hope you all enjoyed your long weekends (apologies to those who had to work) and here's to a 4 day week! xxx
