2022 Roundup

This will be one of my last posts of 2022! Which is crazy to think because in my opinion this year as gone so quickly. I know my blog posts have been more on the sporadic side this year so I thought I would roundup month by month the main things from this year. So if I did miss out on a few blog posts you can find all about what I did this year here in this 2022 roundup. 

January – I feel like January is always a quieter month after the Christmas slow down. However I went to Bath twice to see Jack and that is always a highlight of my month. More specifically we went to see a light show which was BEAUTIFUL. I also did a mini shoot for Thirty Five at home (little did I know at this point how my business would develop over the year!)

February – when I look back over my Feb camera roll I noticed one thing. GOOD FOOD. I went out for a lot of good food in February. From a little Cornish restaurant with my friend Sophie, to a bar with German snacks with jack, and then an all out valentines meal. My Lee Jeans campaign I had the chance to be apart of also was released in February which was a pinch me moment! At the end of the month Jack and I also went to Manchester where we watched a Man United game which was a birthday gift for Jack. 

March – in March Jack and I had a little weekend away in Barnstaple. We stayed in the cutest air bnb which was a small pod and it was beautifully remote. The weather also started warming up and this was the month I attempted running again (which obviously failed). 

April – Jack and I were invited for a meal at a gorgeous restaurant called The Bear Inn in Bath at the start of the month. And we also did a beautiful coastal walk to celebrate Easter which is a tradition we do each year. Jack and I went to some point to point races which I used to go to when I was younger so I loved sharing that experience with him. Finally at the end of April I hired an air bnb in Bath and had my first ever branding shoot for my business! 

May – we had some lush weather at the start of May and jack and I spent a lot of time in bath strolling around and enjoying this. This was also the start of beach trips which are a summer must. 

June – In June we flew to Scotland for a family wedding of Jacks which was beautiful and it was nice to have a little trip away. Myself and my mum also celebrated her birthday late this month which was a lovely lunch out. But unfortunately I also caught covid for the first time ever in June so spent at least a week of it in my bedroom. 

July – July started the BEST way by going to see Adele on the 1st. This was literally a DREAM COME TRUE. We had some amazing weather in July and I have a lot of sunset photos, bbq photos and cocktail photos on my camera roll. We also celebrated my grans 80th birthday with my whole family. 

August – At the start of August my friend Lauren and I jetted off to Majorca for a couple of days! And then after getting back Jack and I also went to the Cotswolds for the weekend (which was the hottest weekend of the year – so we spent a lot of it dodging the 40C heat). In august I also bought my new car! It was a life long dream car so it was a very big moment for me. At the end of the moment I got to shoot a campaign for Barbour which was surreal. 

September – I actually took a week off from work in September which was a change! I hadn’t taken much time off so I made myself so I felt more inspired than ever this month after some time away. I had a lovely lunch in the Ivy to celebrate my friend Sophie’s birthday. And at the end of September we celebrated Jacks graduation. 

October – October was the most work heavy month for me, so less to report on. However I discovered my new favourite restaurant in plymouth called the Early Bird Cafe. Jack and I also went Christmas decoration shopping!

November – my highlight of November was finally being able to witness and go to the Bath Christmas markets. It’s been on my list for years and it was a dream come true being able to go! 

December – at the start of December I headed up to london to meet some amazing other business owners who I have made connection with this year. I was such an amazing day and and I wish I can repeat it all over again. 

And this brings us up to date! I would love to know some of your highlights in the comments.
