Ice cream you scream


On Tuesday it was Ben's birthday so like any normal 29 year old he wanted to go to the Cheshire Ice Cream Farm, we were the only adults there without children aha, but it was god damn good ice cream, my favourite was liquorice & blackcurrant. I wore a newly acquired blue velvet dress which I got for £4.50, I did have to shallow breath in it, as the belt was way too tight, the things I do for a pretty dress?!



Ben wearing his new koi fish jumper, I want it!



Don't mind me pretending I'm in a 1950's B-movie






I made the Nigella Lawson Chocolate Guinness cake for Ben, boy is it yummy!

  1. My gosh I'd love to have a nosey look in your room, it would be like looking through a beautiful museum I bet! x

  3. It can sometimes work to your advantage, being the only adults in a child-dominated place. I once took my boyfriend to the aquarium for his birthday (because he loves fish...) and we scored a free behind the scenes trial tour... and I'm sure we were picked out because we were amongst the only adults not attached to and distracted by children! By the way, I love the fact that you wore a fabulous velvet dress to an ice-cream farm - a girl after my own heart!

  5. That's a gorgeous dress (definitely worth a bit of shallow breathing). And how hilarious is your cat in that first picture... what is it doing?

  7. Your kitty is the cutest! What a long neck! You look smashing in blue velvet. Sometimes I get a tummy ache, my vintage dresses are so tight, but I'm no stranger to suffering for fashion. he-he. Happy birthday to your man!
