Chocolate
We're trying so hard to not eat chocolate at the moment. I think it's especially hard with Easter around the corner. All I want is a White Chocolate Creme Egg.

Blue Sakura
Lunch at Blue Sakura all you can eat with friends. It was the weekend between Jess and Nathan's birthday. We ate all we could and were stuffed.
Afterwards we visted a ginger beer brewery, which was a nice change from the ordinary.

Jamesās blood on Jessās will
We had some documents signed and witnessed. I got a paper cut when taking them out my bag. Thereās now some of my blood on Jessās āLast Will and Testamentā. I think that means one of us is cursed.

Valentine's Day
We spent Valentine's Day doing some cute creative things together and finally started making collages (something we've been meaning to try for a while). Cutting pictures out of old magazines is weirdly satisfying... so now we're fully on the hunt for more magazines. We might share some completed collages here soon!

Skipton with Mum
Me and Mum headed to Skipton to meet up with her friend, Rach. It started raining just after Mum bought a flower pot, so naturally I held it over my head like an umbrella.

Castle Howard
We visited Castle Howard for York Resident's weekend. It was chilly but the sun was shining! Jess got very excited about Arctic Monkeys and Bridgerton, but mostly Arctic Monkeys.

listening to music
James asked me to put some music on. He said if he didnāt like my choice he would ask me to choose again. I went with Fearless by Taylor Swift and heās singing along to the ones he knows. It makes me happy.

Colour Photo Walk
We've become a bit uninspired with photography in York lately, that's probably what 8 years of living here will do to you! We decided to try out something Jess had seen online which is selecting a colour and taking photos of only that.
Jess randomly selected orange:
Lucky for him, James got pink but he took his photos on our Instax (and is yet to scan them).
