Favourites: March & April 2019 Edition

March and April were a really fun-packed couple of months. I celebrated my 30th birthday with so many friends who came to visit from afar (thanks again for the unforgettable time guys!!) and then had four weeks of family time in Switzerland and Wales with my parents, older sister, baby nephew and brother-in-law. Accordingly this favourites list is pretty stacked, and I’m feeling very grateful for all the amazing moments I was lucky enough share with the people I love!

I’ve included a number of themes below and my favourite things within each – I hope you enjoy reading through and exploring the different links! The main picture for this post is one I took near the summit of Mount Snowdon – Christian and I were lucky enough to climb to the top thanks to the beautiful spring weather in Wales over Easter!
