I can't believe its been seven weeks since my last post, the time has flown and so much has happened!

Wonderful things that this time last year I could never have dreamed of happening to me!

I hope you will forgive and join me in a small backward glance today, not to dwell on the past, but to celebrate how far I have come in the last year!


Those of you who have known me from the start of my blogging journey will know that this is my second blog, the first lasting only 17 posts!
My first blog ended at the same time as my first engagement and reading this post I can still remember how sad I felt writing it. Despite knowing I had done the right thing ending this unhappy relationship I was very, very scared.
I will always remember the advice given to me by the lovely Duchess of Tea, she said:

'at times we are sad for an unfortunate event; however, if we only knew how this turn of misfortune will help us in the future, then instead of tears we will pop champagne'

I hoped she was right and now I know she was!
Now, one year on I could not be happier! I have a wonderful husband and we are expecting our first baby!


I know you are all eager to hear all about the wedding and honeymoon and hope that the posts from Victoria and Rosie P have helped ease the suspense!
Over the next few day's (or weeks!) I promise to fill you all in on all the details but for now I'd better be signing off as I have so many of your fab blogs to catch up on!

Lots of Love

P.S. We have to think of the future and not on the past, gosh if I didn't I wouldn't get out of bed in a morning hee hee! Our past is what shapes our future, and who we are today. :o) xxx

what a lovely post, and the words from the Duchess are so, so true.

Thank you for visiting, and for the lovely comments! I'm glad you feel inspired. Must just point out though, that arranging a wedding, being the bride AND being pregnant is a lot for one person, so not getting round to decorating - totally understandable! Congrats on all, what an exciting time for you and your husband :O) I always said that sorting out a wedding was a full time job in itself. As is parenthood, but oh so enjoyable!
