tourists in our own town

We always go on about needing a holiday (as if three isnt enough next year I'm flying out to meet mum in Rio for her birthday) saying we need to get away and explore a new place but strangley Danny's never been out and about in Christchurch, so we decided to battle through the cold on the weekend and enjoy a day of just us.  First stop had to be cheese&Alfies for another mouthwatering breakfast. This is the pan breakfast...basically a locally sourced, stunning fry up. I went for pancakes, I always go for pancakes. If you want to read more about Cheese&Alfies I posted about them here. We then went for a rather chilly stroll through the Priory and past Twynham castle before heading back home to the warmth. Christchurch is full of history and it was so lovely to get a chance to explore a little bit more.

When we got back Danny suprised me with this beautiful glittery rose and a trip to the Lush spa, I am so excited as we've had such a terrible past month or so due to family problems too hardcore for Jeremy Kyle and about 1001 different illnesses. I'm not sat in front the fire with a fluffy blanket waiting for Kayla to come and help me put up the christmas decs! amazing.

Brockenhurst christmas food fayre

Over the weekend me and rosie donned our wellies and headed out to the Brockenhurst christmas food fair. We both agree that local is best so were super excited to see what our home county had to offer. The fayre was teaming with little stalls full of handmade and home baked goodies. The best stall by far was the hampshire chutney co. who are amazing, their cheeky chutney has been my favourite since we discovered it at rosie lea. They had some amazing offers and we both made off with two jars of chutney and a mini! After a good hour of stomping about in the mud in our wellies we decided we were starving and became rather excited by the sight and smell of the food tent, sadly for rosie ( mrs I hate mushrooms) they only had this gorgeous mushroom soup and crusty home made bread left. It was honestly the nicest soup I've ever had in my life ever. We pit stopped just long enough for me to devour my lunch before heading home to make yummy treats to share...or not share...
Sweet potato wedges and bbq hot sauce = heaven.

Are you making a christmas food hamper?

Do you agree homemade is the best?
