Autumn.


Ahhhh, I just bloody love autumn! If I'm honest, I'm not a summer person. Not in the slightest. Although I love holidays, they can be taken all year round. The leg shaving, the constant need for perfect toenails, the hair making you hot, the moans and groans of 'Oh I knew this weather was too good to be true!' when it absolutely chucks it down after 5 or 6 days of belting sunshine, the bees, the flies on your BBQ food - argh, I just hate so much about summer! That's not to say it doesn't have it's good points, like the outdoor parties, the weddings, the potential of catching a tan - if you're lucky! But for me, autumn and winter are definitely where it's at.

Sensatori Resort Egypt.


An overview of the main part of the resort - dreamy!
Over the summer, Alex and I went for a 2 week holiday in one of the most amazing hotels either of us have ever stayed in. We booked it through Thomson, and it was unreal.

The view from our balcony at 5am.
When we booked our holiday, we decided to go all out and book a jacuzzi room with our terrace overlooking the beach. Perfect choice. We also booked extra space seats, extra luggage allowance and late checkout - also very good choices for us. I still struggled getting my luggage down to 25kgs!

Can't beat a jacuzzi :)
When we arrived in Egypt, we got through customs pretty quickly and got to the hotel after a short transfer. We checked in, were given a cool refreshing drink, and were taken to our room on a little golf caddy - the chosen method of transport of the staff there. Loved it!

Our room was amazing, so beautiful, and really big. Big enough for us to live comfortably for 2 weeks. It was the first holiday that I made a real effort to unpack properly.  Our bathroom had mood lighting, speakers to listen to the TV while you were having a bath (or music while in the shower), and of course, the most amazing terrace. We were overlooked by the gym, but that was only really used in the mornings, so we never felt uncomfortable or like people were watching us.

The night we arrived, we went and had some dinner in the buffet restaurant, before going back to our room and filling up our jacuzzi. Alex didn't discover the bubbles until later on in our holiday, thank God. But either way, it was so relaxing. Sitting in the warm water, overlooking the waves of the sea, drinking cocktails and eating chocolate was just perfect.

A weekend away.

Brunel's Bridge.
Alex and I recently spent the weekend away - we took advantge of a free stay in the Marriott Hotel in Bristol. We had tried to stay there once before, but the situation was turned on its head and we ended up not being able to stay there but being put up in a penthouse suite in another hotel - I guess it probably wasn't so bad!

This time, we arrived and were treated like royalty our whole stay - a deluxe double room with double aspect windows and an amazing view of the city. We settled in, unpacked and started to flick through the travel books, relaxed in the gigantic bed, and then there was a knock at the door. I answered it, and a member of the hotel staff had sent us up a box of chocolates, 2-4-1 cocktail offers, coffee shop deals, and a postcard of the Zoo with a note - 'Enjoy your stay, and we hope you love the zoo.' Thanks, Will!

We had heard so much about this suspension bridge in Clifton; Brunel's Bridge, so we decided to go and have a little look and see what all the fuss was about.... Wow.

AWP.

I thought I'd do a whole post dedicated to my Alex, because, well, basically, he's a dream. He's been in my life for quite a little while now, and I can't imagine being without him now. Part of the furniture, so they say.

I haven't even told him I'm doing this yet, because it's just a bit of fun. I think he knows it's something I've been wanting to try for a little while though. Don't think he thought I'd ever actually go ahead with it? If you do ever read it though - Hi babe!
I always used to think people were soooooo cheesey and cringe when they were like, 'Oh I've met the love of my life, my soul mate etc etc etc.' But, now I get it. I honestly do. There is nobody in the world (that I've met, anyway), that is like my Alex. He's very tall, very gentle, very kind, loving, caring. He's thoughtful. He makes me tea, runs me nice hot baths, lights candles. He buys me food (always important), he picks up Minion merchandise, bakes cakes with me, rubs my tummy when I have bad period pain. He even sets my favourite shows to record on the Sky box when I forget. No more missing KUWTK.

GRS.

Hi!

I'm Georgie, as you probably guessed. I'm 20, but I'll be 21 on the 10th December - yay! I'm quite a normal height, probably average weight, brown eyes, brown hair, all the normal boring stuff. This is me:



 I live at home with my Mum, and I have been with my boyfriend, Alex, for almost 3 years now. Wow. That seems like such a long time. It's flown by though. I'm at uni at the moment, I study in Winchester but live at home in Surrey. I study Psychology and Child Development and I love it. I'm a proper bookworm, I love normal books, my Kindle, magazines, blogs, anything. Just love reading. I love sleep, too. And food. Oh, God, that's not good. I love to make lists, I make a new to do list almost every single day. I just love that feeling of crossing off something that I've achieved. Sometimes I even start my to do list with a few things I've already done, it makes it look as though I've done more than I have. Hehe.
