Little Bears Are Off: October 2014

London in general is filled with trips to pubs, birthdays, leaving do's and even our first crayfish party.

I always blog after every trip we go on but I feel like our weekends get a bit missed.

I had a lovely day with Daisy at the Brides Show to get ideas for her wedding, Ben and I went to Jamee's leaving party, and a crayfish party at Elin and Pete's, I went for dinner with my work besties, we had Mike and Nat visit and went to dinner for Rub's bday!

All sorts happens, and while its boring to talk about all the little things.. a collage of good times hits the spot!

And so you see the below..

We have a Halloween party this weekend, and on Friday were going out for a swanky lunch.

The only stress in life is our visa, well my visa, its currently been processing for 3 weeks, out of a possible 6 months. Fingers crossed its back soon, and approved of course so Ben and I can continue our life in the UK!!

3 weeks ago, we went to Barcelona.

We being Ben and I, Katie, Jack, and Emma and Dwyane.

We had an airbnb apartment booked, and met at the airport from our assorted flights and headed to the place.

It was an amazing 4 bedroom apartment, the lift was broken and it was 4 flights of stairs up but it was amazing none the less.

We had a bit of a tapas and wine party the first night, I got pretty drunk and apparently made a bit of a dick of myself but, woke up with the hangover or all hangovers as punishment.

Jack, Katie, Ben and I went out for dinner too, we went to an amazing little restaurant it was family owned and so traditional. We got 2 bottles of wine, and so much food all for 40 euros!

Our friends Mike and Nat were here for a few days too, so we did some sightseeing, lunching, boozing, beaching and warming our bones with the 28 degree heat!

4 nights and 5 days saw us going to a rather fancy restaurant for the best paella I've ever had (also my first and if it wasn't so yum I wouldn't be scared to try more).
It saw us going back to the cheap restaurant twice! It saw us eat fresh seafood and Ben and I even went to a market and brought a live lobster, scallops, mussels, prawns and calamari and cooked up a feast!

We went to the beach twice, 3 swims in the beautiful Mediterranean water.

It was a busy holiday with 5-6 personalities and so much to see and do it was more like we needed a holiday after the holiday but it was great.

Catching up with Emma and Dwayne we haven't seen in 2 years, and seeing Jack again was really nice. Makes us realise there is a lot at home for us when we are ready to go back there!

Holidays over for now though, I applied for my EEA2 permit the week we got back, so the Home Office has our passports until the decide if I can stay in the UK with Ben and we can continue our adventure for a bit longer!!

Fingers crossed!
