Country Barn

Thought I'd share some pictures of the lovely barn/cottage we stayed at last week!


Entrance/outdoor space

Top landing


So cute


New found hobby (actually won 6/6 games - must be beginners luck haha!)


Amazing main bedroom


Amazing main en-suite with the biggest bath & shower ever! We had fun times in there!


Amazing views all around
Had such an amazing time away from civilisation - long walks, tea, board games, reading, cooking ... it feels odd coming back to reality & seeing other human beings!! I want to stay there forever!! It's also a working dairy farm so I got to milk cows! Was so much fun, also saw baby cows, so cuteeee!


If you'd like to have a country retreat to get away from stress and have some peace & quiet, this really is the best place to be! In the middle of nowhere but yet within reach of fun things to do ie Exmoor, Dartmoor, Coastal Paths ... let me know if you're interested I can forward you details! We only paid £300 for a WHOLE week (sleeps up to 4 people & pets welcomed).

I really miss the fresh air, long walks and just total relaxation, no rush for anything! Ahh take me back there NOW!

Gypsy wagon

Last Friday Yurina (from Japan) & I went on a spontaneous stay at Wriggles Brook, a Gypsy Wagon B&B!! It was an amazing experience - open fire, beautiful nature, hammock for 2, being woken up by birds ... loved it!


our wagon for the night


The inside equipped with blankets, tea, coffee etc...


Ah amazing!! Hammock for two right by the river / stream


Open fire with BBQ - it got colder at night but the fire & toasted marshmallow kept us warm! It was so much fun just talking & talking underneath the starry night!


Our sleepy faces


Breakfast brought to you whenever you like (from dawn to 10 am) ... pancakes & fruits to start and then either meat, vegan or vegetarian breakfast!! They are allll so yummyy!

Best of all they have 3 doggies (sometimes more) to keep you company! We had Buster with us for breakkie & took Hush on a little walkie!

Hush


Wriggles Brook is in Hoarwithy, one of Britain's most stunning areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There's heaps to do from long walks to canoeing, horse riding to doing absolutely nothing!! It's really romantic too with tea lights everywhere...you and your other half can plan your future together snuggled up by the open fire with toasted marshmallows underneath the beautiful starry night sky!


Have you ever stayed at a gypsy wagon?

Mega Dango / Wigs

Good news - I can't wait for my friend Yurina from Japan to arrive next Monday!! (must clean room up grr). I also asked her to buy some stuff for me ... I've been wanting them for agesss! I always used to have long hair until when I was in Japan (2 years ago) I decided a change is needed so I chopped it all off. I loved it short - so much fun and so different! but hated the growing it out stage as it took so long and just so unflattering!


Short bob which I loveee


As I hated the growing out stage, I put in extensions (bonded / Japanese way). I found a specialist place in London ran by Japanese and looked like this:


Actual hair was shoulder length (by necklace on right)

It was real hair extensions and you wouldn't believe how much I paid for that...£2xx.00 .... it was probably 5 times more than how much it would cost if I did it in Japan! UNFAIR. Anyways, the price of vanity & it was also for my graduation.

Sometimes I still miss my short hair ... and if hair didn't take that long to grow I'd definitely cut it short again! But recent craze for wigs provided the perfect solution to my problems!

Pros for wigs:
- change of style / look instantly
- change of hair colour without damaging own hair
- easy to put on
- takes less than a minute (probably)
- probably comfortable...

I said probably on the last point because I haven't actually tried them on, I'll do a review when I get them but until then, I just wanted to share my excitement with you guys what I ordered!


Mega dango

This is just the bun bit ... ah I can't wait! My hair isn't thick enough or long enough to put it up like that so I can't wait to put this on!!



And a cute short wig!!

So now I can change my looks / style more easily!! Check back for reviews!!


Do you prefer long or short hair? Have you ever done something dramatically different to your hair? and would you try wigs?

I've never...

...slept in a bed dressed like this!



Our friend were pretty impressed when we I recreated this in the morning ... noone had to know I took this picture the night before ... teehee!

Sunset

One of the best sunset everrrr! Taken when we just pulled into a campsite in Northampton, England.





Amazingness.
