It's been a crazy week.1. On Tuesday my best friend's waters broke almost a month early. This morning (yup, 4 days later) she gave birth to our beautiful God daughter Amelia. The newest member of our family. Congratulations Em and Gary. You guys are the best and we love you lots.
2. It's snowed. Again. These are some shots from our front door and one of our neighbour's pretty Christmas wreath. The snow makes everything so festive. And has led to many renditions of Let It Snow.
3. It's been Christmas madness at work. Christmas meal on Thursday and then last night the work Christmas party. Very fun indeed with lots of dancing and maybe a couple of cocktails. The night ended with a group of us stranded at the venue, in the snow, in heels for about an hour after the party finished. Note to self: next time book a taxi more than 5 minutes before you want to leave.
4. My new camera got caught up in all the snow and won't arrive now until Tuesday. Bummer.
With such events unfolding I've been left in a funny old mood. Christmas is less than a week away and my best friend now has a daughter. It's all rather surreal. Awesomely fantastic, but surreal all the same. Such a huge change for the New Year. I wonder what else 2011 will offer up. One thing's for sure. It's now going to involve lots of girly shopping trips and pretty baby dresses. I can't wait.
Oh my goodness, do you live in the Royal Circus?? When I was in Bath, I so desperately wanted one of those gorgeous places. Such exciting news about the little baby, beautiful name too! I have also been in a bit of an add mood, sort of excited about Christmas, but sort of not too!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun and wonderful to have a new life around this time of year, isn't it? Everything is so exciting, and then on top of that you have a new little one around. What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the arrival of your goddaughter! How very exciting!
ReplyDeletewow- busy- the snow looks lovely and congrats on your goddaughters birth!
ReplyDeleteOh to have a white Christmas...

Ellie - I do live on the Circus, yeah! We rent a ground floor flat and have lived here for about 3 and a half years. It's such a beautiful place to live, we feel very lucky! xx

ReplyDeleteCongrats to your friends and their new baby girl! hubby and i have 4 godkids - love them to bits!!
Cute! Congrats on the new addition. And your view is PRETTY! Nothing like that over here, it leaves me a little depressed. You have way prettier buildings.
ReplyDeleteYippe for your best friend and little Amelia. That's my nieces name, very cute. As for a snowy, white Christmas- so lush and romantic. x
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful. I might have to plan one northern hemisphere Christmas at some stage!
ReplyDeleteHi gorgeous - I've been away for a week or so, moving jobs and getting xmassy things done. Congrats on the news of little Amelia - gorgeous name and I bet it's surreal for you, and I bet for your friend! I hope you're keeping warm xx
ReplyDeleteWowza, a month early?! Well the last month of pregnancy isn't enjoyable anyway so I suppose it's not a bad thing. Congrats to your bestie and to you for becoming Godmother to a baby girl with the most beautiful name! I hope you get your camera soon. I'm also still waiting for an order I purchased on line from the UK. Argh, snow: pretty but annoying! ;) xx
