2013 A year in instagram photos

After one of the busiest years of my life,  full of life-changing and momentous occasions, I’m ready for a couple of weeks off and for the New Year to come. Here’s my post on 2013, a year in instagram photos…

First things first, I got to spend the entire year, with my favouritest person in the whole wide world, my best friend and now my husband (ahhhh)…

Next was the year of the pulled pork – yes, nearly everything I ate, involved pulled-pork in some way, shape or form. So good!

May – I had the best 3 weeks of my life with my hubby, on the most incredible honeymoon in Italy – Venice, Lake Garda and Tuscany. Perfecto!

On the honeymoon, I tasted some of the best food ever, discovered my new favourite dish and even learnt how to make my own pasta ravioli!

October – I said goodbye to my childhood home in London, as my folks sold-up after 30 years to start the next chapter of their lives. I completely and utterly fell in love with this beautiful city and finally felt at home in Manchester! Gosh I love it tup north. I even nearly became a Mancoolian – what an honour!

So there we have it, that’s 2013 a year in instagram photos. What a year it’s been! Mainly highs, but some lows too. Some of the most significant moments of my life have happened this year and I’m totally and utterly exhausted. Roll on 2014!
