April was such a busy month for us that I am only just getting around to writing about it. With two trips away, milestones reached and finally some sun it was a good month!
I went for a weekend to The Retreat, an amazing bloggers conference with professional speakers and a group of lovely people. I spent two nights there and came away having learnt a huge amount and feeling very inspired. Some of the sessions I took part in were beach photography, confidence on camera and fashion photography. With so many sessions to choose from we were spoilt for choice, there really was something for everyone. It’s going to be a yearly event and I will definitely be getting a ticket for next year, I already can’t wait.
I was also lucky enough to spend three nights in Portugal with Martinhal for the Luxury Family Brand Event. I had never been to Portugal before and I loved it, especially Lisbon. You can read all about my trip and see my many photos.
Read
I actually managed to read a couple fo books this month, helped by a child free weekend in Portugal. First I read The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a true story, I really enjoyed this love story, giving hope in the most horrible of places.
My other favourite from this month is The Cows, about not following the trend. It had me laughing and cringing in equal measures. A really great read.
Watched
We watched the whole first series of Marcella. I had heard good things about it and was hooked after the first episode. It is one of the programmes that leaves some questions unanswered though which I always find annoying.
