round and round...

Towards the final days of our 2015 Euro adventure, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to smash out some fixed revolutions around the London Olympic Velodrome. Though it wasn't my first time riding fixed, it was my first time on the berms and banks. Needless to say, it's initially quite intimidating riding without brakes on angles of around 45 degrees, though by the end of the session I was hooked and keen to have a crack at Eddy Merckx hour mark! Another day perhaps...

to bath and beyond part two... biking and hiking...

Our second day in Bath involved a ton of exploring, both biking and hiking... It was awesome to get out and about in the British countryside... Canal-side pints at lunch, towpath races with Vinny, seeing Louis' face light up on his first ever bike ride... Luce and Mama H enjoying the fun of holding hands while cycling, Claire's French elegance coming out in her velo steeze... The best of times! : )

Canal curves...

to bath and beyond part one...

Possibly one of the more ambitious and amazing projects undertaken while we were back in the UK was getting together for a full family holiday with all of Lucy's close family in Bath... Ten adults and six children, between the ages of one and eight, in a four storey terrace... Twas a mad and marvellous few days!

a pickle floyd wedding...

Cornwall, as always, was action packed and we finished on a high at the wedding of one of Lucy's best friends Lily Pickles and her now-husband Adam Floyd... Their special day was a DIY testament to each of them and their individual loves (Lily, polka dots, Adam, rock music), as well as their awesomeness as team! Big love to you both! xxoo

 Groom, meet your bride...

 It's love!

 Adam Floyd!

 Lily Pickles!

 Mr and Mrs...

 It's love!

Hot bridesmaids! : )

Summer fun...
