Chapter 23 - Mittie

For those of you that have me on snapchat would have seen that I recently spent the weekend celebrating my best friends birthday in the countryside. Many of you asked me where I was and where I was staying so I thought I would create a post to share all the details on my experience and everything else that you may need to know.
I have now decided that weekends away in the countryside is my new favourite thing to do. It can be a bit of a pain if you don't live close to one as the travelling can be tiring but once you reach your destination then it will all be worth it.
Chapter 23. Every year birthdays seem to mean less and less for me but if you're anything like my friend Mittie then you will make sure that every birthday is celebrated in style. 23 isn't a significant age like 18, 21 etc but that doesn't mean to say it should be celebrated any less. So with a little hard work, planning and determination - the perfect birthday weekend was planned.
We had arranged to stay at The Barns at Upper House, which is a luxuriously styled accomodation suited for every occassion. It is split up into different sections and the part that we were staying in was called The Old Byre.

It is very spacious with plenty of room for everyone and all of their belongings and even though it may not be your home it feels so cosy and warm you will be snuggling by the fire and relaxing in no time.
As we were only there for the weekend and ensure that we made the most of the weekend I designed an invitation/itenarary. It was nothing major or spectacular, with a bit of research on google I was able to rustle up a simple design and checking back with the host to make sure she was happy!

Mittie and a couple friends went down on the Friday night to decorate and set up for the proceedings of the weekend while I drove everyone else down first thing on Saturday morning. As we only had a short time there we wanted to ensure that no time was wasted and driving from Northampton it was a good 2 and a half hours drive! So if you are coming from anywhere else in the country be prepared for a long drive!!





The weekend was basically filled with us chilling in the hot tub, drinking cocktails, eating and generally pampering. I was relaxed by the end of the weekend and didn't want to leave but all good things must come to an end.
Hopefully I have answered all the questions and given you all the information needed, if not then send me a message and I will reply back to you as soon as possible.
