So my birthday month is well and truly over… I am quite sad about it because it’s been a wonderful month, I’ve done some wonderful things throughout the month.
This month has been a tricky one, local lockdowns, more face covering guidelines, etc. But I feel like we need to make the most of this year while we can, obviously as safely as possible, here’s how I have made the most of this month:
Food – haha as per usual
Food is like the centre of my life, but I love sharing the restaurants and pubs I’ve been to while on holiday or exploring the UK. While me and my boyfriend were on holiday in Norfolk we found a few lovely places to eat that I would definitely recommend. One we found on a map of the best places for food and drink in the UK.

Birthday
Having a birthday during the working week some people may moan but I love it. The current company I work at do birthdays like no other, with lots of cake and tea. Lol no alcohol during the day!
I also had a lovely time celebrating with my family and Boyfriend, we went out for a meal, more food lol!

Holiday in Norfolk
So I finally got to have a break away this year, after the whole Lock down and no travelling abroad because of Coronavirus, my Boyfriend and I booked to go to Norfolk. I loved it, it was a brilliant stay-cation because we made the most of the sunny weather and visited some beautiful places.
We went to Sandringham, Holkham Hall and National Trust Houses Oxburgh and Blickling estate, so keep your eyes out for my blog posts about those lovely places.

Appreciating being able to travel
When you finally get to leave your house and take break from work you really do appreciate the ability to travel, without having to jump on a plane. I feel like stay-cation’s are going to be the future for holidays in the UK, which is brilliant because there are many many places that are worth visiting.

So September is done with, wow! Time is flying, this year seems to be passing us by so quickly.
However, we are now going into autumn, my favouite season! Let me know how your September went, what did you get up to?
Aww yummy food! Your birthday cake is so cute, I love those colors. Time is indeed flying fast, I can’t believe it’s already October!!! I hope this month brings you joy & so many good things ❤️ x

Thanks for sharing your roundup. It’s funny that you say staycations could be the future of holidays in the UK. When I grew up in England, that’s all we ever did! I had never been on a plane until we emigrated to Canada when I was 9. Here in Canada, I could go to a different place every year and never leave the country. We’ve done a lot of travelling in Canada but it’s still nice to go “away” too.

I agree staycations may be the future of travel for awhile. I would love to do a staycation too if only there weren’t so many requirements before you could do so in the Philippines.

Sounds and looks like it’s been a great month, despite the restrictions. I’m trying to convince the family about a trip to Norfolk as it’s relatively close to us here in Yorkshire. Oh, and yha pizza in the pics looks lively
