I totally forgot to tell you about my dream date the other week! Although yesterday was mine & Nick’s 7 year wedding anniversary, we actually celebrated 10 years since our first date on the 12th August.
Nick being the romantic old soul that he is had surprised me with my mum coming over to babysit for the night and whisked me away (well, I had to drive due to his broken leg!) on a dream date. It was actually a recreation of our first ever date ten years ago which consisted of watching the sun go down over the sea at Kimmeridge followed by dinner out and then watching the meteor shower.
The beautiful tower at Kimmeridge has been moved and restored since our first date as it was previously dangerously close to the crumbling cliffs. The Landmark Trust are in charge of it now and you can even stay there. (I’ve mentioned The Landmark Trust before I think – they have the coolest places to stay – can’t wait to take Huxley to stay in a castle when he’s older!)
Luckily the rain that they had forecast didn’t appear and there were beautiful blue skies. We didn’t stay to watch the sun set completely as it was only about 6pm at the time and I was starving! We drove to Wagamama in Bournemouth for dinner (and were very disappointed with the food there) and then drove home and laid on a blanket in our garden watching the shooting stars. I know, soppy right?
