Our first summer begins.

Over the past few days we've been enjoying the sunshine for the first time together, mostly by just sitting in every park we come across.

This the most time I've spent in Manchester since we met and the more time I spend here, the more I fall in love with the place. 

I can't say I'm a massive fan of his basement room but the city is incredible and seeing him everyday isn't too bad either : )

We spent time at a wonderful place we found called Sandbar, where they stock so many delicious german and belgian beers. 

It is such a cute little place but it's rather expensive, I can't wait to go back though.

Oh and they have the best homemade chips I have ever tasted.

Visiting the park a little tipsy, laughing and listening to Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, City & Colour and Tegan & Sara.

I was pleasantly surprised to find my hair is auburn in the sunlight, not the colour I was going for when I dyed it but I'm still rather fond of it.

Plattfields is such a pretty park, we had a lovely day there even if we did get a little sunburnt. It's also where we'll be going for the parklife festival next weekend.

I'm always blown away by how beautiful he is, I wish he could see what I see. 

My favourite thing about this park is the ducks, my least favourite being the geese. Dan's reaction to the little ducklings every time they came round was adorable, and when they swam closer to the edge his eyes lit up.

Wearing tights was a bad idea that day, my legs were on fire! 

Our picnic was full of yummy treats, the fruit being my favourite along with the cous cous and diet coke.

I love that this is only the beginning, we have so many things planned for our summer.
