My mind throughout this month was dominated by one thing: Work It has been one of those months. You know the ones – you think you’ve planned for every eventuality but then something comes out of left field and completely derails you. Always fun. As well as doing my best impression of someone who is … More March 2018 Things
February felt like a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ kind of month. It was very admin-heavy – I managed to book my Miami flights which I’m SUPER excited for, started finalising plans for a visit to Dublin in the summer, and booked part of the secret trip for Husband’s birthday. Lots of boxes ticked. The … More February 2018 Things
Husband persuaded me to use some of my precious leave for the first week of January so I had a very quiet start to 2018. Still managed a couple of things to get me out of the house though! Celtic Manor – again The Celtic Manor has rapidly become our hotel of choice for last … More January 2018 Things
December 2017 will be remembered as the month I sat around feeling sorry for myself. The last post I made was about how I thought I had bronchitis – apparently, it’s “just” a cough, albeit a cough which made me actually vomit during a meeting at work (oh god, the shame). Just when I thought it … More December Things
Working in higher education, I don’t really get any time off from August to October (no, we don’t get the summer holidays off – I wish), so November saw the arrival of my much needed holiday.

Little Lord Stinky Butt Over the course of a few weeks, we’ve had an adorable vulpine visitor to the garden. He set up house for … More October Things
There has been a distinct lack of posts this month, due to the fact that in my industry, September is crazy times. That’s not to say it’s been all work and no fun and there were two particularly awesome things I did which I haven’t had a chance to blog about which I’ll briefly mention. … More September Things
August is birthday month in the Untold Blisses household. And what do birthdays mean? A trip to the… Celtic Manor! Our new birthday tradition – a trip to my favourite UK hotel which this year included afternoon tea, a trip to the spa, and much booze. WIN. We bought a car I adore my car. … More August Things
I started July in New York which was as wonderful as ever, continued with two average weeks, and finished with a week alone as Husband is away at a work trip. He’s off in South Africa seeing giraffes and elephants, whilst I’m sat feeling sorry for myself on the sofa. Hot, sweaty NYC New York … More July Things
Is it time for the second instalment of my monthly things already? But I’ve barely done anything all month! June has whizzed by, with my downtime spent mostly online researching my next holiday (New York, very imminently). So what else have I done (*scrolls through Instagram and my bank account…) My Garden At the end … More June Things
