The Sun & The Seaside

Another week has passed in a blur where we have had some gorgeous weather and I attended my first ever away day for work (slightly overwhelming but not as scary as I'd imagined).
Bump has been growing rapidly and I now have no hope of fitting into any of my summer clothes from last year! It's really nice to start to see the effects of all the work my body and Bump have been doing and there's no stopping him/her now! My next scan is in just over two weeks and I can't wait to see how much Bump has developed. I still haven't had any weird food cravings but my favourite sweets at the moment are Starburst - I may have just chomped my way through a family-size bag. Whoops! 

After admiring the beautiful clear blue skies and bright sunshine from my office window last week, I was looking forward to spending a sunny weekend with Ricky. It seems that I may have forgotten that we live in England and it is therefore never sunny when you have the time off to enjoy it! That didn't stop us making the most of our weekend though!

On Saturday Ricky and I popped round to see my Grandparents and then went out for some lunch. 'The Rivo Lounge' has just opened in Chippenham and it had caught our eye a few times so we decided to try it out.

 'The Rivo Lounge' is a retro cafe/bar/restaurant serving all your favourite dishes but all with something slightly special and unusual about them. For example, I went for a Club Sandwich which was served in ciabatta bread, with provolone cheese, guacamole and cajun mayonnaise - still a classic but this one was extra special! I also had a caramel milkshake - amazing! Ricky went for a hot dog topped with chilli beef and as you can see, enjoyed it very much! 'The Rivo Lounge' is one of many 'Lounges' dotted around the UK but they had all managed to escape my radar! I will definitely be visiting again and will be recommending them wherever I go.

After throwing a child-like tantrum because I wanted to go to the seaside, Ricky and I set off for Weymouth on Sunday morning. The weather wasn't as fine and bright as it had been during the week but I could see patches of blue sky and that was enough for me! I squeeeeeeezed into one of my bikinis from last year ready for a day of sun (hopefully), sea and sand. The weather didn't improve much but we had a great day sitting on the beach, wandering round the shops and enjoying a drink at the harbour (non-alcoholic for me!).

Hope you've had a fabulous weekend and have got an exciting week ahead of you!
