This week, I’ve been loving
the following…
Birthdays
So, on Friday I turned 25.
I’ve been kind of dreading it to be honest – a quarter of a century and I feel
like I haven’t achieved enough. But aside from that, I wanted to try and enjoy
it as much as I could. I was truly spoilt by family and friends, and apart from
having to work in the morning, I had a fairly quiet, relaxed day, with cake and
candles in the evening. I then spent Saturday at a National Trust place with
my Mum and Dad, which was lovely.
Downton Abbey
I’ll admit I never used to
follow Downton Abbey. I kind of missed the first couple of series and then
thought it was a bit late to start watching. But every series seems to come
with so much hype and I starting getting a bit jealous that I couldn’t be part
of discussions with friends about it. So, when this series came around I
decided I’d give it a go, and now I’m wishing I’d started sooner! I’m
completely hooked, and have also got my parents watching it with me. It’s
really nice to snuggle down on the sofa on a Sunday evening for just over an
hour of quality period drama. I just wish I’d seen the first few series!

yet, or are a fan but want more information, check out the ITV Website
Candles
I’ve really noticed the
darker nights (and days!) creeping in on us over the past week or so and it’s
made me want to brighten up the house to make it feel cosier. One of my
favourite things about this time of year is being able to light lots of pretty
candles – it just makes those autumn evenings so much more appealing. I’ve got
a bit of a stash of Yankee candles and wax tarts, as well as other random
candles I’ve bought or been given, so I’ve been making sure my room is full of
flickering candles of an evening. The fragrances I’m burning at the moment are
Fluffy Towels and Vanilla, but I’m looking forward to breaking out the
Christmas candles in another month or so, and I’m hoping to try some of the new
ones too!
What has grabbed your attention this week? I love
hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing something
that makes it onto my list next week!
