Cristy Jade Lydia: What I got up to for 23rd Birthday...

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. As some of you may know it was my birthday last week and I had the best time celebrating, so of course, I thought I would share with you some of the wonderful things I got up to. Of course it wouldn't be a birthday if I didn't make the most of it the entire weekend, oops. So on Thursday myself, my mum and my sister kelly went to the wonderful Bush inn in Hereford.

The lovely guys at The Bush Inn had kindly gifted me this experience and My goodness I could not have been more excited. I had been back in February for Molly's birthday and we had the spring bench, so this time we were lucky enough to try the Autumnal picnic bench. It is basically an afternoon tea styled picnic bench with an array of sweet and savoury goodies.

Myself and kelly had the Hot dog, chips, cottage pie and chicken strips and mum had the vegetarian option which looked just as delicious, which consisted of a halloumi cheese burger, potato skins, chips and halloumi bites. And then we all had the chocolate covered apple, popcorn caramel flapjack, brownie layered millionaires shortbread, and the most incredible Biscoff cheesecake. And then as for drinks, the bench comes with a little mini bottle of cola, Appletiser and a little gin fizz. I also had the most amazing Pornstar martini too as a little added extra.

Honestly I could not recommend this place enough, it is unlike anything I have ever seen before, so original and I think the only place I have heard of that does something like this. The food is amazing and the amount of food you get for the price, RRP £20.00 per person, is just insane. You are basically getting a starter, main, pudding and mini drinks for £20.00 which is amazing. The size portions are also so big so absolutely worth every penny.

We also sat in one of their amazing outdoor garden pods which just added so much to the experience. The sun was shining and it was so warm and cosy inside even in the middle of October. You can also connect your phone to their little bluetooth speaker so its like your own personal little space within the pub.

I just wanted to take the time to say a HUGE THANKYOU, to the wonderful team at The Bush Inn Hereford, you were all so incredibly lovely and accommodating and so helpful with every aspect of our afternoon. I am honestly blessed to have come and celebrated my birthday here. Honestly I could not recommend The Bush Inn enough, especially if you have a birthday coming up and you wanted something cover friendly to do.

As well as heading to the Bush Inn, myself, my family and sam went for some lovely food across the weekend which was so lovely. We ate some lovely Italian food at the local Italian restaurant Gianni's and also ate breakfast at one of my favourite spots , The Curious cafe and Bistro where we had some amazing breakfasts. On my actual birthday, which was Saturday 17th October lol, myself and sam took a trip to Bristol, ate some lovely food and I must say I was a very lucky gal. We had the most amazing meal at Cote Brasserie in cheltenham and then went to the Wine bar and drank lets say far too many wines with our friends Molly and Xander.

Honestly, THANKYOU, to my friends and family and Sam to always making my birthday so incredibly special each and every year. I love you all so much!!
