It is so easy to get tangled in the chaos of work, friends and endless commitments. Time can slip away from you and before you know it it has been months since you've even seen your own family.
I feel like the last couple of month have been spent working tirelessly, with so much effort and energy going into getting stuff done and weekends and bank holiday taken away from me by nature of what I do I feel I've barely had a moment to take a deep breath and relax.
With a lot of the big projects I've been working on getting ticked off I can finally start to reclaim my time, and yesterday I took a day of to spend my big sister. Having not seen her over my birthday a couple of weeks ago I was in for a treat.
After spending the morning doing some much needed summer wardrobe updating we worked up an appetite. Both lovers of food and eating out we headed for Australasia's Grand Pacific in Manchester's Spinningfields. Taking a seat in the chilled out and airy canopied garden we sipped champagne and took in the tastes of the Pacific.
Sashimi, nigiri, California rolls; soft shell crab tempura and grilled aubergine. Beautifully blissful. Content and well fed I felt the most relaxed I had in weeks.
The relaxed feeling has not left me yet, as I write this I sit in the sunshine of my balcony with the laid back sounds of Swim Deep. Don't let this weekend ever end. Now someone get me a Gin & Tonic.
