@ishambard and I were looking into making some more paper crafts again to go with our window displays and were inspired by the lovely idea of https://www.instagram.com/mila.pn?igsh=MWVuNjk5NnN3eDBpNQ== and her little fox puppets, which combine charm, whimsy and our favourite woodland friends. So aided by one of our own little foxes of our own we have made a set of four. Fox loved helping to model them and colour them in 🙂 Check out Mila’s page for the original craft #foxpuppet #foxlovers #papercraft #paperfox #toiletrollcraft #dualmarkers #craftingfun #handmadewithlove #mila.pn #angeloandrenato #duxsomniumgames #splitstonegames #lafleur #boardgamesunday #mymansam #ilovefoxes

Autumn is here, and soon we’ll blink and it’ll be Christmas. Nevertheless I am glad for days where it doesn’t rain so we can head outside on our lunch break, or quiet moments on a bus home where we come up with alternative book titles with food, or discuss the etymology and word play that only we, in our rambling way can. Or those nights we curl up with Midsommer Murders and a warm blanket with some delicious hot chocolate hot chocolate. And even if the photos we take all have the same poses. Or the only thing that changes is the temperature or the number of laughter lines around my eyes, I’m just glad to spend these moments with you @ishambard #mymansam #teamshemmy #autumnvibes #littlethingsmakemehappy #littlethingsmeanalot

On Tuesday 4th April it was @ishambard ‘s birthday - levelling up to his 33rd year. We celebrated with homemade spaghetti bolognaise, garlic bread and my four tier carrot cake 🙂 it was nice to sit and eat outside in the garden and make the most of this sunny Spring day. #birthdayboy #mymansam #carrotcake #kenwoodcookingchef #spaghettibolognese #diningalfresco #springday #inthegarden #april2023 #33yearsold #bakedwithlove

Eek somehow I've blinked and it's now April, which means it's nearly a year to go before I become a Mrs.
Yesterday night @ishambard and I went to his company's annual black tie/dinner dance - with a loosely set 80's theme where they played mostly 90s music. Nevertheless, it was lovely to have a bit of a dance and dress up and Sam got to play some more games.

my lovely @ishambard surprised me today with some fresh flowers and homemade cheesecake 🙂 it’s the little things that remind me even when my mental health is not 100% how lucky I am to call him mine 🙂 #romantic #mymansam #lovelyflowers #littlethingsmeanalot
