Holiday Post #3 | Cocktails By The Beach

Hello Summery faces

Ok, so the weather may of taken a little turn. It's been a combination of cloud, rain, sun - pretty much in that order too. I am trying not to be disheartened by it as I'm still in this gorgeous place, but I'm already starting to feel a little anxious about going home and at least the sun can distract you from that a little, right? 

I have 2 sleeps left here then it's home time. So we have been trying to do everything we wanted to! 

My boyfriend and I went for a couple of cocktails before dinner the other night, it was so lovely. We went to a place called the Beach Bar. It's decorated out to look like a beach shack you would stumble across on a long beautiful beach in somewhere like Thailand. It's covered with cute little quotes and signs, and has an area on the veranda covered in sand with painted crates and cushions stacked as sofas and foot rests. They also have great big bean bags to sink into - we didn't opt for those as I would of probably never got out! 

We ordered my all time favourite cocktail Sex On The Beach. And sat on the sofas looking out to the sea, the sun was still shining and still super hot. 

Drinking cocktails whilst very hungry and thirsty probably wasn't the most sensible thing to to, but oh well, that's what holidays are for. We merrily chatted whilst we drank away. It's moments like that when you just soak everything in and really and truly feel a million miles from home (in a good way)

Holiday Post #2 || Summer Nights

Hello Summery People.

It's me again, I am sat again in my usual position by the pool. It's 5.30, and the sun is still beating down. The sky is so clear and beautiful and there is a light breeze that cools the sun on your skin. 

I have just been at a stables as my niece had a horse riding lesson. They were so wonderful there, and you can see that they live for their job, it's very humbling. The horse was beautiful and old. The stables also had puppies, 11 puppies! Just 2 weeks old - what a brave Mummy. 

No plans for tonight apart from kebabs on the BBQ, wine by the pool and another evening of relaxing and forgetting the world. 

What a gorgeous place I am in, and how lucky do I feel.

Thank you for reading my second Holiday  post.

Holiday Post #1 | Drinks, Food & A Burnt Bum

Hello summery faces.

My current view ; towering tall green trees, like the ones in the Lion King. Clear blue sky's, pink flowers climbing up the wall, a sparkling swimming pool, one boyfriend on a lilo and one niece singing and splashing in the pool. I can hear the birds tweeting, water splashing, and can smell the  summer scent that is sun cream. 

I am holidaying with my family in the lovely country of Portugal. One thing I just love about being here is waking up and seeing the light come through the windows. As soon as I see it I'm ready to get up and go. Having said that the 'go' sounds much more energetic than it actually is. The go I'm referring to is come downstairs, mooch around get some breakfast and sit and watch the view go by.

Having been surrounded by this beautiful place, I felt the urge to write a post. I don't know what your holidays consist of, but so far mine has been relaxing, reading, walks along the beach, laying in the sun, for too long (sunburnt bottom) Ouch. Swimming in the sea, and a whole lot of eating, oh and of course the odd drink as well. If you can't eat and drink to your hearts content on holiday then when can you?!

              

Later today we are taking a long walk up the beach to a beach bar named Bj's - 'Bex and Jay' may I add... I'm really excited for this as we have been here before in previous years and its such a lovely set up. They are right on the beach and every Sunday have one man with his guitar playing. However they have been so busy that they have asked him to come in on a Friday as well. My tummy is rumbling as I type this, I constantly feel hungry here, is that the heat or am I just greedy?

Later tonight my boyfriend and I are going out for a meal in a restaurant which again has live music to enjoy. May I just add, I literally love listening to live music whether it be just a voice, a guitar, or any other instrument. I just don't think there is anything nicer than hearing the acoustic sound of a guitar and a voice. And well, that combined with food I'm a happy girl! We are celebrating our 2 year anniversary as well so hopefully it will be a gorgeous evening!

I'm going to get back to the sun now and work up my appetite a little more... I hope your all having a wonderful day. And enjoy your weekend, I hear its sunny in England?
