mr and mrs


We've been a Mr and Mrs for five years now,
five years full of fun and laughter,
five years of ups and downs,
five years of bickering and annoying one another,
five years of adventures.


It's been a good five years,
and we're proud of what we've done in that time.
So it seemed only right to celebrate in style.
That lovely husband of mine clearly listens to me
as I go on about all the places I'd like to visit,
because he booked a break for us at The Manor
which is a Laura Ashley hotel that I've wanted to visit since it opened.


The hotel and it's grounds are truly stunning.
And as a big fan of Laura Ashley decors
I was totally in love with every detail.
We had an utterly delicious breakfast
in the brightest airiest room
with cutlery you could see your face in.
And we had an equally yummy afternoon tea,
which was beautifully presented,
and served outside in the glorious sunshine.
The staff were fantastic,
nothing felt like too much trouble
and their attention to details was amazing.

We had a lovely couple of days,
pimms in the sunshine on the terrace,
afternoon tea looking out at London on the horizon,
games of chess (okay, we actually played drafts but shhhhh) in the garden,
a jaunt into London for a delicious dinner and cocktails at Jamie's Italian.

Because five years of loving someone for better or for worse
definitely deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.
And we're already planning the next one…

  3. Ah looks like a lovely evening and a beautiful hotel- I love Laura Ashley, at one time every room in our house was kitted out in it although there's not as much since our recent decorating mission. It's so important to spend time together, myself and Mr E had a night booked in just the two of us last weekend but we had to cancel it due to our weekend in Wales. We will need to get another one booked in soon! x
