Christmas 2018


Had such a busy week - Christmas Eve was at Jo and Rich's then Christmas night I was at nanny Wing's, Boxing Day I went to Manchester to my cousin Sindy's and on the 27th I was at my other cousin Tracy's for her house warming. Last night was the only night I was actually at home eating normal food. My mum and dad have been away for Christmas as well they've just got back from a Mediterranean cruise so it was nice to have some normal home cooked food last night and to go back to the gym as I hadn't been since last Sunday morning!

Christmas Night

We had a turkey roast for our Christmas dinner at 6pm. There was 14 of us - missing my mum and dad, Gary, Kirsty and their 2 boys Lucas and Oliver. Should be a full Wing house New Years Day though.

Boxing Day

Boxing day I drove down to Manchester with Lisa to Sindy's.

We had a quite posh grown up dinner party at Sindy's. Sindy and Jess made their own sausage rolls and chilli con carne then loads of little bits. Sindy's parents came, older brother Thomas and his little boy Alex. Jess' boyfriend James stayed for a bit before having to leave to get the bus back to London then Sindy's boyfriend James (yep confusing both their boyfriend's are called James!) came back from the Liverpool match. 

Don't always see the Cheung's only ever see Jess and Thomas like once a year at Christmas which is a shame we should really catch up more but we're all super busy and Jess lives in London so it's hard to get us all together. But we should definitely have a gathering again at Easter or the summer!

Had well more food than this




The baby Chicken Wing's Brandon and Lucas




Tracy's finally moved into her house with Chris after buying it 2 years ago! She had a house warming with all the Wing's. Chris' mum and 2 sisters came too. Gavin was playing monopoly so we didn't end up getting home till 12:30am. I was knackered I got back late from Sindy's the night before then was in work and had work the next day. I've been doing short days but I'm like a child I need to be in bed by like 10pm can't hack late nights!

Tracy hasn't got doors in her house yet so I had a really good idea to make a sign with her light box. When someone was in the toilet they would turn the light on that was at the bottom of the stairs to let people know that someone was in it so you wouldn't walk in on them! I didn't think it was going to work really but everyone got onto it and it worked perfectly. She's debating on saving money on doors and just spend it on batteries for the light box instead!

Hope you had a good Christmas! I'm so done with eating now. I was just eating because everyone else was, wasn't hungry or got to the point of being full. Can't wait to get back into a proper routine and go back to the gym. Went on a 5k last night with Jo and was in the gym this morning. Next week the gym will probably be busy with all the "new year new me" people. Let's see how long they last this time!

Malta Travels

Malta travels from November... Day 4




Yep this is a post from way back in November when I went to Malta for 5 days! Just haven't had the chance to post the last 2 days so here's day 4...!


Mdina












Mdina Gate



Palazzo Vilhena 








Cathedral










Mdina was the island's capital int he antiquity to the medieval period. It has a population of around 300 people. It's like a bit of maze you just walk around with walls around you and then find random buildings.





For lunch we left the ancient walls and just walked to a restaurant down the road. Me, mum and dad shared a pizza pie. It had mushrooms, walnuts, cheese and like a sweet sauce but I can't remember what but it was nice. Very filling. 



Gavin got a rack of bbq ribs to himself. 


St Paul's Bay


















The water at St Paul's Bay was amazing. When you see photos online of blue/green water it's actually real! I never knew whether it was photo shopped but it is actually this amazing colour - no filter or editing at all! All taken with my phone!! The water must have been warmish as people were swimming in it.


St Julian's Bay













Watching the sun set on St Julian's Bay.
We parked the car and walked along the bay as the sun was setting. It was beautiful I wish I had my gym stuff and did a run!


Bay Street Shopping




My dad has a weird thing where he finds all the places you can go shopping even though he hates shopping. He found Bay Street shopping but it was a bit of a mission to find as it's actually hidden. It's a weird half open shopping centre with a handful of shops opposite where all the night clubs are and the Hard Rock Cafe.

I've still got 1 more post from Malta from the last day which should be up this week!




All photos were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone - no filter or editing!
