Thank you for all your anniversary wishes- 10 years feels like a super-special milestone, even though it's flown by. I know I am exceptionally lucky to have found such a handsome, thoughtful, kind life partner and I will be clinging on to him for many more years to come.

We celebrated our first decade of marriage with uncharacteristic extravagance, staying overnight at Shoreditch House, a stunning refurbished warehouse in London's East End. Our evening was passed on huge stripey deckchairs, sipping champagne cocktails by the rooftop pool, overlooking the city lights (unfortunately the strict house rules dictated no cameras in the members' area). Then today, after a very rare lie-in and the most beautiful plate of sunny yellow eggs benedict, we have been exploring Brick Lane, shopping until we dropped. Amongst my purchases was a woollen cardigan and a leather bag from vintage department store Blitz; a pretty summer top from independent designer boutique Laden; and I ordered the acrylic name necklace I've been coveting forever from creative jewellers Tatty Devine's flagship store (shame I'll have to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive!) 

It's been an incredible weekend of food, adventure, laughter, and throwing caution to the wind. We couldn't have planned a more perfect treat.
