LITTLE FOX COTTAGE

This past weekend, my family & I stayed 3 nights at a beautiful cottage in Herbrandston, Milford Haven. We had the most amazing time and I've come home feeling all cosy, relaxed & in the most autumnal mood! It was a 70th birthday present to my lovely nan, she enjoyed every minute & loved having all her family around her. When we arrived we had a tour of the cottage and myself, Lloyd & Ezra nabbed the best room! 

 

The cottage had three bedrooms and every one had an ensuite with robes and slippers! 

 

My little cousin, Brandon, was busting to get in the hot tub from the moment we all arrived & I was frequently pulling Ezra away from the edge because he wanted to get in so we decided to get into our bikinis & swim shorts straight away and crack open the wine & ciders and start the holiday properly! (Yes, I did have a spray tan beforehand!) We turned the temperature right down before letting Ezra get in & he loved it!

We all cuddled up in our robes & slippers and I got Ezra into his halloween babygrow & we had a few drinks and my mam got a curry going! It was so nice to just relax and spend some time together, I loved every minute! After we had food, Ezra was shattered so I put him down & thankfully we'd brought the monitors with us so we could relax downstairs in the hot tub & see that he was okay. Lloyd & I were the first ones to go to bed as of course we knew we would be up with the baby at 7. We had the best sleep ever & spent the majority of the weekend saying how much we need to get a super-king sized bed! 

My little ghost didn't wake us up until 7:45 so we went downstairs and had a chilled morning on the sofas catching up on the X Factor. My mam made us bacon rolls & we just enjoyed having a lazy sunday morning!

 My mam had booked a table for sunday lunch at 2pm so we all showered & got changed to go out. 

EZRA ALL READY FOR AUTUMN

 We went to The Harbourmaster on Milford Haven Marina and had an amazing roast! We had a little stroll afterwards and just enjoyed the view. I really love it down Milford Haven, especially along the marina, I always get a warm feeling when I'm there as we spent some time down there back in August with Lloyd's parents and I just have good memories of being there with the people closest to me! Lloyd could only stay one night as he had to be back for work Monday so we went back to the cottage so he could grab his stuff & sadly had to say bye! Sunday night we ordered a pizza and sprawled out on the sofas with the log fire going & watched Sunday's X Factor.

On Monday, we went to a place called Brooksgrove Farm as they have a pumpkin patch & allow you to pick your own pumpkins! I had been hunting online for places to go to pick your own pumpkins and there aren't many places in South Wales that allow you to pick your own any more so when I found this farm 15 minutes away from the cottage & saw the patch was opening this Monday it just seemed meant to be! 

It was so amazing & I felt so autumnal and excited for halloween afterwards! I got Lloyd a large pumpkin, a medium one for me & a little baby one for Ezra so we can carve a little family of pumpkins. I absolutely loved it & made a promise that we would make the trip down every year to do it, I was just sad that Lloyd wasn't with us as I know he would've loved it but we will continue the tradition next year! On the way back to the cottage we stopped for a pub lunch (one of my favourite things ever) & I got what I always get if it's homemade - lasagne! We got back to the cottage, put our pyjamas on and just relaxed. The following morning we were up early packing ready to leave. We were all gutted that our stay had come to an end but we enjoyed every moment! We had breakfast at a cafe on the marina, called Foam, and it was delicious! 

EZRA'S FIRST BABYCINO

 It was such a lovely mini break for this time of year and I feel so refreshed & excited for the next few months! Little fox cottage, we will definitely be back next year!
