Things that made me happy in April...

It's time for a little round up of April happenings and goings on.

A lot of time this month has been spent browsing holiday brochures trying to decide where to go for our sunny, summer break, hmmm decisions decisions...

Other things have included some new yummy recipes (obviously right?), the discovery of some lovely new homeware and interior shops and some fab new listens on spotify, 

including the 'Chef' soundtrack. 

If you want to get in the mood for summer, this is the album to do it. 

Definitely check out the track by Hot 8 Brass Band with a cover of Marvin Gayes' Sexual Healing, amazing!

The film was great too.
