Late posts - Birthday JUNE 2014

I know I have been M.I.A lately just so much has happened. After I moved back in with mum she has now sold the house and we are moving. Which means I cant keep the job due to the travel time and silly hours that they give me. So I am sure a lot of things will be changing in the next few months. 

Anyway this is a happy post about my birthday!

Happy 22nd Birthday to me!

Some beautiful flowers I have received. 

So the day started of as normal, Mia beckoning me to go town with her early as possible as she needed to grab a few things from the art shops. So being the good twin I came into town with her, She did however buy me a fantastic breakfast at our favourite Italian restaurant in cheltenham. The one just off the high street, on Winchombe street. It s small family owned restaurant called Dolce and Salato. 

I have written a post before about this little restaurant, Never before Have I met such friendly people and people who like kids and welcome them into their restaurant . The food was great as always I opted for scrambled egg and salmon ( weight watchers you will thank me later ) and Mia opted for the full work which for 6.95 including a pot of tea orange juice too! great prices! We did take the little ones into town which giving them a croissant they where really well behaved. On the trip out of the shop Mia decided to get a few treats for herself. Lucky me only had a nibble of one.

So back home it was to pick up her oldest Dylan who's 4 from nursery, We watched a few movies and of course it was time for lunch. I have never actually spent the day with my sister on our birthday, I am usually with the other half at the time. However with john living so far away that was near enough impossible. 

Now sushi is one of my favourite foods, so with it being impossible to go to dinner we choose a nice lunch out instead just taking dylan and Harper and leaving Rueben with grandma for a couple hours. 

Beautiful little Harper

The most amazing cheesecake balls

So back at home with a full belly, and Oh look how pretty my cake is!!!

M&S you work wonders!

And on my new plates I got from the vintage fair in gloucester

What I got.

One of my main presents from John and Mother was the new tattoo I had which I love, something to remind me of my man!

I also got a few little bits from my sister and my dad, too many photos to post so here are some random ones!

I would of much rather stayed 21, but we cant all be young forever :(

Dolce and salato - Cheltenham

Dolce and Salato 

I love Italy, I love the food,the culture, the language ( parla poco italiano - I can speak a little) I love everything about it. 

Now when I posted a blog of places I want to eat in Cheltenham I don't think this one on there. This is a small family owned restaurant in cheltenham. But the food, the service and having someone who really enjoys their job is a breath of fresh air. The deco was lovely, the only downside is going there with the children and lots of Vino (wine) about, I was scared it was going to get knocked. 

I cant rave on any more about the service here, The guy who runs it is so lovely and welcoming and good with children!

I went with my sister and her three little ones, Dylan,4 Rueben who is 2 and little harper who is only six months. Usually when all three are together its hard work but all the children where well behaved. 

We had the Breakfast all this, cup of tea and juice for only £6.00! Good prices as well as good service! 

The food was well cooked, eggs still runny, sausage was very tasty and the bacon! I have never had bacon like this! Very Very tasty!!!!! 

Mia could even feed Harper, For all the mummies who read my blog! You know how rare is it that a restaurant will let you do this! 

Some of the pastries available, How yummy do the cakes look?

Dylan deciding that he wants only the yellow cake. He ate the icing and then gave the rest to rueben who scoffed it down. 

Ruebens chocolate croissant. This was without a doubt one of the best croissants I have tasted. However Rueben had one bit and swapped with Dylan was devoured it. 

I rate this 9/10 

It is most likely the highest score I have given a restaurant in Cheltenham. I am highly recommending this place. I will go here the next chance I get for lunch to sample the lunch menu!
