Light my fire

Ok, so I purposely left this story out yesterday. It was just too fresh in my memory and was getting me down!

I've been making fires since I was little, right.. Not in a psycho pyro kind of way - I grew up in a house with wood burning fire and being able to make a fire was a real necessity.. I am from Norway after all! It gets cold..

Anyways.. It is safe to say that our Saturday night camp fire was a real fiasco.. As the bf has never made a fire in his life, the task was left in my capable hands.. At least they used to be.. For some reason it took me well over an hour to get it going with good help from the bf's roadmap. And still it was the shittest fire I've ever seen!!!

At this point I was still a happy camper...

By the time the fire was "going", it was dark, dinner was cold and I was in a right mood... 

Have I mentioned we're going camping again in a week or two?! Role reversal - man make fire, woman cook food!!!

Wellies on... Wellies off...

So we made it back alive!!

It was touch and go, but we're ok... 

We were actually incredibly lucky with the weather - no rain whatsoever.. However, it was freezing cold and I had a bit of a bitch fit when the bf woke me up in the middle of the night! 

Why - because he was too HOT!!! Can you believe it?!! I was shivering away in my thermals, snood and gloves under two blankets, and he was moaning because he couldn't find the zipper to open the sleeping bag... As we have a double sleeping bag it caused a bit of an issue..

Then he managed to elbow me in the back... Tell me you wouldn't be just a little bit annoyed...

All in all, though - a successful first camping trip! 

Btw, how cute is this old couple down by the lake? In front of the tree, there was a woman painting them.. Creepy that I took a picture? Eh, fair game - they were on display anyways.. 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! 

Sweet dreams..

Nursing a hangover

Morning all!

Last night I went for a few drinks to celebrate my birthday with my partner in crime. I always go with the intention of maybe having a glass of wine with the meal.. In the time I've known Lady B, that's maybe happened twice..

Oh well, we only live once..

It all started with a wine spritzer at the pub with lunch (we saw our new boss with a pint so it was ok)

Then went from wine with dinner to Mojitos at a bar

And water, coffee and tablets this morning!

I really can't be hungover as I'm going camping with the bf today.. For some reason I always seem to meet up with Lady B on the night before I'm meant to do something with the bf and he is not impressed when I can hardly move in fear of being sick.. 

There will be none of that today, though.. I got up right after 7am, in order to sort myself out with water and tablets.. After I've packed I might even fit in a workout.. Then we're off to Lake Bala or something to that effect..

Wish me luck with the camping - it'll be absolutely freezing! I'll hopefully be able to pop in tomorrow with pictures and tell you how it went :)

Have a great day!

Lounge camping

I'm pretty sure that pitching a tent in my lounge is one of the best ideas we've ever had.. Although it started out as an absolute nightmare, it turned out to be a great night!

For those of you who ever want to set up a tent inside, I recommend you bear these tips in mind:

1. Read the instructions
2. Move furniture BEFORE you've set up the tent and realise that it doesn't actually fit in the room
3. Make sure that things like TV's, hubs and laptops are put away

It is safe to say that we massively underestimated the size of the tent! Even after moving all the furniture out of the room, we were still not able to set the tent up properly. As we couldn't stretch the tent out, we were unable to use either of the two (!!) bedrooms.. Nonetheless, we broke out the sleeping mat, our double sleeping bag and some pillows and watched a film whilst eating chocolate cheesecake! Amazing...

Wish I could sleep in this every night...

What's with the stache??

Yay, it's finally here!! Joy oh joy - Friday how I love you!

Hope you all have great plans for the weekend.. I'm going lounge camping.. It sounds like a real thing, but I'm actually just setting up a tent in my lounge to check that it doesn't have any holes in it.. Would rather know now before I set off in the lovely British weather! I'm probably more excited than I should be as I'm dying to break out the candles and hot chocolate.. This all makes me think of 'The Holiday". The scene in the tent is just too cute..

Lately, I've come across the weirdest of trends.. Who in their right mind would consider moustaches to be fashionable??! "Oui oui, this is très chic!" They're not cool on men, and they're definitely not cool on jewellery or prints.. Get a grip..

Necklace gold - Boohoo // Cork Screw (!!!) - New Look // T-Shirt - New Look // Ring - River Island // Set of 3 rings - Asos // Earrings - Nelly // Watch - River Island // Bracelet - Asos

What do you reckon - yay or nay?
