My parents were the ones who decided to go so they went off a couple of days before my boyfriend and I joined them to stay in a gorgeous lodge next to a little lake. We set off on the Friday night (so we could stay an extra night) and then spent both Saturday and Sunday there.
Day 1
Unfortunately, on the Saturday morning we woke up to the pouring rain so the view of the lake was a little dull however still beautiful. It did manage to clear up by lunch time though so me and mum went into Richmond to do some shopping and go for lunch whilst my dad and boyfriend went fishing in the river, in which I believe they thoroughly enjoyed! When they had dropped us off we dug into all the small, cute shops that Richmond has until we found one shop called 'Lemon x' (they do have an online website, so do type them in and have a nosey!) It was divine. In the end we did have a bit of a splurge but everyone needs to treat themselves every once in a while! The shop had manly clothes and jewellery which were ALL beautiful and so so unique, which is why I think we loved it so much. We then went for lunch at a pub which was really nice inside and which I'm quite annoyed at myself for not taking pictures! Anyway, we ended up having some drinks and even getting chatted up by the waiter, who was actually super helpful and charming (bless him). The rest of the day was spent relaxing and snuggling up in front of the fire whilst watching TV with my lovely boyfriend.

Day 2
Sunday. We went out altogether on the Sunday for a walk around Richmond castle, which was nice and still quite relaxing. For lunch we had some fish and chips (yum!) and since I don't usually have them at home it was a nice little treat. After that we had another look around Richmond whilst being together and my boyfriend found a little sweet shop which wasn't good news as he and my dad nearly bought the entirety of the shop. We also bought scones as a little treat before we left. We then went back to the lodge to make the most of it and really just chilled out and watched a film which lead up to it being home time... I honestly didn't want to leave but had to. :(

This post may seem like a boring one to some but sometimes you need a little break away to escape reality and to fully let yourself relax which is why I wanted to share this as a little reminder. Even if it's not possible to go away, give yourself some 'you' time and just completely relax, honestly, it helps!
Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed, I should be posting again soon!
