Today we spend our afternoon on the beautiful grounds of Babylonstoren in Franschoek. There are two restaurants, spa, hotel, gardens, it is absolutely beautiful. The gift shop also has a selection of wines, cheese, meats, books and beautiful candles and soaps.
This is probably one of my favourite cities in the world. The weather is beautiful, beaches, mountains, wine...
I am constantly looking for ideas of where to go and what to do with R. I found this amazing list of things to do, "Love Don't Cost a Thing: 98 Cheap Date Ideas" on the Popsugar website (which I love!).
My favourite ideas from the list:
30. Make desserts for each other.
40. Walk around Ikea, and get a meal there after exploring.
81. Check out an indoor rock climbing gym.
Check it out and make your own list.

I love Ikea! I love the style, practical design, simplicity and their prices!
Meeting friends can be so difficult with everyone being so busy and skint so making the whole process of meeting up and having fun easier is my aim for 2016!
There is a new page on Ikea's website with all sorts of design ideas. My favourite is the idea where guests each brings a dish and friends come together for a delicious, "cheap" dinner party (on a Sunday but this could be any other day really).
I love to host dinner parties but they can sometimes be difficult to organise, friends then feel like they need to "return the favour" so keeping it simple and also fun by trying different dishes sounds like a great idea!

Give yourself a pat on the back or a little reward! These are funny but also so true, if you have ever experienced anxiety you will understand :)

So every week seems to be crazy with work and so many things happening. The things that made me really happy were:
Hope you are all having a good day and have a great week! Here is Lola's new hairstyle (my little punk dog). X
Last week my hubby and I had our date night in Inamo restaurant in Covent Garden. The restaurant is situated 30secs from the underground station so really easy to find. The food was amazing and eating there is definitely an experience. Food and drinks are ordered on a tablet rather then waiter and everything is very techi.
