Book 11 done! This one was a little bit of a different one to what I have read but its definetly on trend with autumn round the corner. The book from the start was a little predictable but it didn't effect the enjoyment of the read as there were a few twists and turns along the way as well. The story starts with Willow, a young women who works on a farm with her Dad, they have fallen into a bit of financial trouble. Her Dad has made a difficult decision to bring in an estate agent to buy the land. The story has perfect cosy vibes with pumkins and Halloween at the forfront of the story, with just 6 weeks to make the plan come to life and a distraction not helping, can Willow pull this off? or will all her hard work be for nothing? I actually really enjoyed this story, it was very cliche but I like a book that I can just flow with. I am currently reading the second book in the series so watch out for my post soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Victoria

September flew by in a blur, so much to do and back to the crazy routine of life made it dissappear.  We started off with back to work and school runs. The summer holidays honestly didnt feel long enough. My birthday came on the first weekend, and we took a trip to LZ World tour in Castle Combe. The morning started at 3.30am so we could get on the road for a 3 hour journey. The day was fantastic and I got some lovely presents too. Next was Lillys 14th birthday, her actually birthday fell on a week day so she had a friend round and we enjoyed a takeaway. For her birthday trip we surprised her with a day out in London to see Hamilton , an absolutely fantastic show and one we will definitely see again.  The rest of the month has been a lot quieter with slow weekends and busy weekdays. We've enjoyed watching the sunsets, eating more comfort food and enjoying family time. What's your favorite memory of September? Victoria 

I have done it! Book 10 is checked off of my list! The story is mainly set in the Ardeche area of France, in a quaint little village. Grace has fallen into a rut with work until her childhood crush, Jackson, phones with a offer she can't refuse. She travels to France and bumps into to another old friend Etienne, they start a fake  romance to make Jackson jealous. Will it work? Or will life take a different turn? This story fit in well as I am aware of the Ardeche area, I visited the area when I was younger so could picture part of the story from memory. Grace is a character that grew with me, she makes a few mistakes alone the way but its not alway come from her. Jackson is loveable and sexy and one that I was fully intrugued about from page one. Etienne was harder to understand, he has many layers which slowly unfold. I really love the story, the pace of which the story flowed and I feel it ended in a perfect way, making me smile and cry at the same time.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Victoria x...

I can officially say that me and Lilly have been in the room where it happens, and wow did it happen! We took a trip up to the Victoria Palace theatre in London to see Hamilton, this was a birthday surprise for Lilly as she has been begging to go. We both laugh, cried and fell in love with the show. The theatre itself is stunning, inside and out, from the chandaliers to the main theatre area and everything inbetween. All the staff we encountered were freindly, helpful and all seemed to enjoy there job. Inside the theatre to the right of the main enternace is the area for merchendise, along with a bar too.  The show itself was incredible from start to finish, from the cast, set and orchestra. It has been a long time since I have been to a show that is a permenant fixture to the theatre, and you can tell the difference if you visit shows a lot. The set was so inpressive, with a revloving stage, multiple levels and many props during the show. The sound levels for everythin...

It felt like August went by in a blur and here are thr 'ber' months. We started our month with such a lovely afternoon, it was a unique event involving Lils and Olis favourite teddies, a teddy adventure where their teddies could experience zip lines, ski slope and other things.  Lilly started to practice her guitar more, learning the into to one of her favourite songs, whilst Olivia has enjoyed watching the trains from the bridge and waving at the driver's  We then visited Hastings carnival, my Dad and Angie had created a float for it and we went to support them whilst also enjoying all the other floats too, it was very warm though. Dad and Angie got first and came home with a trophy.  The partial eclipse was something that we all enjoyed together, I was actually organised and ordered some glasses the week before, it was a lovely experience and felt very privileged that we got to enjoy it with no cloud cover. One of our big days out was Legoland , I havent be...
