BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS IN THE HOMELAND!

Phew! What a busy two weeks I've had! I have been taking snap shots along the way so enjoy!

On the 6th May I took the long train journey (6 hours!) to Edinburgh for a long over due visit to the homeland! I was greeted by my precious Mama and we went straight to have a Shellac Manicure (my new obsession!) afterwards we headed home were my Papa had prepared an amazing BBQ!


King of the BBQ!
The next day Sat 7th May I was performing for the fabulous Vegas! club night at Paisley Town Hall. The venue was amazing and huge inside, always a treat to have a nice big stage!

On Sun 8th May Leyla Rose & myself  ran one of our workshops at The Bongo Club in Edinburgh, it was an AWFUL day weather wise and we were so grateful for the girls coming out in it to get to us! It was a fab class and we had a lot of fun, unfortunately I forgot to take a photo! After, Leyla and I treated ourselves to a lovely Tapas meal!

On Monday I had a lovely and productive day shooting with Loraine Ross. We got through loads of looks and even got some nice weather to shoot on location at Lauiston Castle. Here are a couple of shots from the shoot! I look forward to seeing the rest!



I then enjoyed the rest of the week off with friends and family to celebrate my 26th Birthday a little early. It was really lovely to catch up with everyone and spend some quality time with everyone. Here are some shots from a day spent in Edinburgh with my Mama!






On 12th May it was my Papa's Birthday and we celebrated with joint birthday Cup Cakes and I later took him to see "Thor" which I really enjoyed!




The highlight of the my week away was a day and night spent at the Marine Hotel & Spa in North Berwick with my parents and best gal Ruth. It was a joint Birthday treat for my Papa & Me! I was such an indulgence to spend time in the Spa and then a lovely 3 course meal and champagne to top it all off! Ruth took some lovely shots to document the occasion see below (the lovely black & white ones!).








The next morning after an amazing night sleep in the HUGE hotel bed, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast and then spent the afternoon wandering around the beach and trawling the charity shops and bookshops!










The next day I took the long journey home to Cheltenham so I could spend my actual Birthday with my Magic Dave!

16th May was my 26th Birthday!! Dave treated me to breakfast at my fave place "The Curious Cafe" and then we spent the day in Stroud wandering around and looking in more charity shops! On the way home we stopped to pet some pregnant pigs!!



My perfect day was topped off with a lovely Indian meal with Sarah, James & Dave and my SECOND birthday cake!!

The boys decorate Poppadoms!


Thanks Mama & Papa for these beauties!


PERFECT!
