Mr & Mrs Ronzano

So our besties got married and it was pretty much THE BEST DAY EVER!

Adventure-ing

This weekend we decided upon a trip to Belton with our dearest pals, Vito and Becka. We spent the day freezing playing in the adventure playground, making sure that everyone had a go and not just Louie!

It's no secret that we miss these two far too much since they left our city, we all wish we could see them more, but days like these make it so worth it - even if a little bee was in a terrible mood!

Weekend in Style

Straight after arriving back from our honeymoon was a BBQ at the Ronzano's in Peterborough. I was up early to bake a brownie to take with us and we headed up the a47 to meet Vito and Becka (that is a whole other story...) in the town centre. After a yummy lunch in town, we went back for the enormous barbeque that was waiting for us. 

With delights such as a whole leg of prosciutto, a whole range of Italian treats on top of the usual BBQ cuisine. My goodness, it was one heck of a feast and fantastic company to boot.

 Another busy day on Sunday, up early baking two Chocolate Roulades and painting a card for baby Alistair's thanksgiving service. Another afternoon spent nattering away to friends old and new!

Wednesday

A day spent baking cakes for dear friends, sharing authentic italian coffee, painting pottery and making a chicken pie as good as ever. Not to mention dreaming of my fairytale wedding.

Gifts

Our friends are just the best! Look at this amazing gift hamper we received today. A handmade crate FULL of beautifully wrapped gifts. And of course, lots of goodies to munch and I tell you now, they won't last until Christmas!
So much effort has been put in to this amazing gift, we are overwhelmed and truly thankful.
Great job Vito and Becka!

University Pals Christmas Party, Take Two!

This was our second year celebrating Christmas with the likes of Becka, Vito, Joe and the whole gang from Papa's University. This year we had a really lovely meal at Zizzis, one of our favourite restaurants.

Mr Bee was such a little star, staying awake until 11oclock! He ate SO many olives, pinching
them from whoever he could. Of course, he charmed the waiters and waitresses, treating him
with extra crackers to pull and two balloons! Two!
