A Sangria a day keeps the doctor away in Goa!

We got home yesterday from Goa!
So pretty and lovely. We had the beach to our self, the pool to our self and the evenings all to our self!
The hotel was fully booked but the only time we saw people around was at breakfast!
We didn't complain..

Here are some pictures of the long weekend.

Our view from the balcony.

They had a massive garden with golf courses, cricket area etc.

The beach when it was busy!

Happy to be back at the beach.




Indian Baywatch is not the same!



More Sangria...

It wouldn't be India if you didn't see a cow on the beach!

Jumping pictures are a must!

Packing up!

Last weekend we started to look at all the things we have here, what to keep and what to give away before the shipping company comes in and pack it up!Stephen has lost so much weight so he has so many trousers that are too big so a few of them went, a few jumpers that he has left from when he was in Uni... yes over 10 years ago...!! and a few pairs of shoes.

I cleared half of my clothes out and put it into a bag and gave it to our maid, she always loves it when she get clothes. Some of them must be way too big for her but I guess that maybe she gives them away to other people needing them.

We also got invited to the Paul Smiths' store in Delhi to have cupcakes and tea! Sooo nice I could have been there all day. We sat there and enjoyed the food while the rest of the shop kept going as usual, i.e customers coming and going, fun!

I have also had a small project going on with the gym. I am their clients new inspiration, they asked me for an old picture when I was bigger and wanted me to take one of me now.  Just to show the difference and then to write how fantastic the personal trainers are, a small advertisement for them! So yesterday we took lots of pictures with me in my gym gear trying to look as fit as possible! And then sent it of to the gym to get it printed and put up.

Not long left in this apartment now.
I'm leaving for England the 4th, so less than two weeks time and then Stephen will move into the Le Meridian as they cancelled out apartment too early.
He will then meet me in Sweden in July to get married properly (Yeay) and then we are back in Delhi for a few weeks in August and that's it!

Here are some pictures from this weekend and week!
Stephen reading while I do all the work!
Cupcakes, soo good!

Night out with the girls.

Last night we danced around handbags , salsa danced, sang along to Abba and giggled like school girls!
I was out with Stephen and his work colleagues as it was Prabhats leaving doo.

We meet up at GK2 and had some cheap drinks and food. Then went on to another area in GK2 and danced the night away in one of the bars.

It was so much fun and here are some of the best pictures from the night.

Me all made up and wearing my new Jimmy Choo's

Sales in India

Today was a great day! We got a text yesterday from one of our friends who works in Paul Smith's.
She said that there is a sale on in the Hyatt Regency Hotel for family and friends and we were invited.

It was Jimmy Choo, Paul Smith, Kenzo, Canali, Etro and Just Cavalli.

They told us to be there early because these sales gets busy! So we were there at 9.45 am just to be safe and were the only ones in there! We had one of the girls from Paul Smiths' shop there to run around after us, checking sizes, colours etc.

Everything was 40- 60% Off!

So I found two pairs of Jimmy Choo's :)
Stephen found a pair of jeans, three shirts, two long sleeved jumpers, one T-shirt and a pair of shoes.

They only have men clothes othervise I'm sure there would be more things for me !

After that we had a lovely buffet lunch in the Italian restaurant in the Hyatt.

Good day all over.

Here are some pictures.







Stephens shoes.

Happy girl.

2 months until our wedding!

Yesterday the 7th of May, it was only 2 months left until we are getting married in Sweden!
I can not wait! It will be so much fun to see all our friends and family at the same location.
There is still a few bits to do but Stephens mother is doing a great job printing menus and poems so I don't have to worry about that.
All we have to worry about at the moment is were to place everyone around the tables. People might not think it is a big job, but it is!!! You don't want to leave anybody out, or too far away and you want to sit next to all your friends AND your family! So I'm giving up, I'm just gonna put random people next to each other and hope they get along, oh yes and that they understand each other as some part of my family speak Swedish only...!
But the party after the meal will be great and I can't wait to wear my white dress :)

On Saturday we went out for a lovely meal in Varq and they were very surprised and abit worried that we haven't been in for 6 weeks(!) and are we ok, are we in good health?
Yes, yes we said we have just been busy. ( I think we go there too often if they are missing us)
It was a great evening that ended up us laughing at an extremely bored looking Indian woman who didn't like anything she was given and was having the worst evening of her life (it looked that way anyway!)
I ordered fish for my main and asked the waiter which one that was the best on the menu, he said one of them was in a sauce and the other one was wrapped up in leaves, I choose the one in the sauce. When he later came out with our food he had two fish dishes as he said I needed to try both ! Wasn't that nice ! ( Stephen had most of the second one as I didn't like it that much in the end, haha)
We couldn't have dessert as we were very full, but sat there for a while and drank our wine and enjoyed the evening.

Here are some pictures
