Busy few days

Image
We had busy couple of days... Mother in law came to stay for couple of days. It is sunny for a change too. Did lots of tourist-y things. Oh also we know why there is not number 7 on The Circus in Bath: Nick Cage, you know that actor, took the number down so no one would know where he lives. Well he sold the house now but there is still no number. I guess it made Circus more of the tourist attraction.  And then we went to Birmingham to sing for the house... We have a house now and moving on Thursday!!  We will have garden after so many years without one. And upstairs... and 2 bathrooms.  And real shops, unlike in Bath.  I am very much looking forward to move and live in a big city again!

After Dan left the pub...

Image
So there is this pub in Cardiff on Cathedral road in Pontcanna... I used to tell guests in the hotel to go for food there. Our mate Dan was a head chef and everything was so amazing! So many beautiful meals there... Gastro pub at its best with an amazing Sunday roast... We even went there after we got hitched But then Dan moved on.... and the food became not that good. I hope they have found someone to bring the magic into their kitchen, but we have been looking for a new Sunday roast place for a while now. We went to many places in Cardiff to find a place... well that is if we had a Sunday off. One of the joys of working in hospitality industry. When you do eventually get a weekend off you do know what to do with your self...  So after moving to Bath we had some time off... so following the advice of Sarah we went to Aqua . If you are ever in Bath go to Aqua....I was so happy after leaving the place! Food was great... Attentive Staff.... We ...

Cinema Obsession

Image
We all have hobbies, good or bad, usual and not so much. Apart from many things I love doing I’m huge fan of cinema… If you have been reading this blog then you would know that I do go to cinema a lot. Having cineworld helped not to leave me broke, especially since I have been to see Hobbit 4 times! But now in the new place, I was terribly disappointed to find out that the nearest Cinewolrd is in Bristol. Odeon is my new home… Now we have a budget for me to indulge in my love for cinema. Yay! Love my considerate hubby… There are so many films I really look forward to see…  Beautiful Creatures (either would love or hate it, but willing to give it a chance), 7th Son (Ben Barns!Yay!), movie 43.....  and my list goes on and on! Also I must be not alone in my cinema love; it’s a multi-million industry, dagh! So my friend Owen and me have decided to blog together about films. We live here . Enjoy! Hope the life would be soon as it w...

Challanges for This Year

Image
Well new place is lovely... On the small side but really lovely.  What is one to do when there is no chance to get online... I read... and oh I read a lot! With my new Kindle (thank you Santa) I read things I never would have pick up otherwise... So as for my challenge for 2013... I am aiming to read 30 books and do the survival...  You know how inspreied I felt after seeing  the wall  so me and Viera are doing it! She'd better not chicken out! As for 30 books... I already red 7...  Discovered amazing Shadowmagic by John Lenahan and Lillian's Story by Patricia Gardnger.  But I am also big fan of Nell Sweeney Mysteries by P.B. Ryan... read 4 of them and I cannot get enough...  It is just so much fun! And now I am back to tackle the massive Game of Thrones.... 

I will miss you Cardiff...

Image
I have been living in Cardiff for almost 7 years... I came here not knowing anyone or anything about the place... All I could tell from my visit for an interview, people are friendly... Little did I know that I would stay here for so long or that I would meet my husband here! Lots of other amazing poeple ... who I do miss... But hey, I guess we are only a train journey away...  Oh girls! Come visit me soon...  Cardiff will always be a special place for me! And how beautiful Welsh capital is!! But I do prefer Wales in summer... with flowers everywhere... and with its wild life We actually continued our great tradition to live next to park.. this time its Victoria Park in Bath next to Royal Crescent But change is good, besides I worked almost at every hotel in Cardiff... So time to move.  Steve said that we were just too comfortable in the end, and it was great time to move....
