We love, love, love Land Rover (I literally can't remember life before my red Range Rover Evoque), and as a brand, Land Rover has been a firm favourite within my extended family, for years.
I ticked one of my wishlist boxes a few weeks ago when I bought myself a Range Rover Evoque, a car I've loved a long while and feel so incredibly excited about.
Owning a Range Rover has always been on my Bucket List yet I never expected to my youngest son, Xander, to own one before me! What a lucky little dude!
This family loves a road trip so when premier car dealership JCT600 got in touch asking me to test cruise the new family friendly BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, I jumped (in heels) at the chance! I totes drive in heels btw!
Take one car-loving blogger (me) plus her super-funny Papa G and the breathtaking Bowcliffe Hall in the village I live in (how cool though?), pose in cool cars, shoot, test drive then eat exquisite food- and what do you get? THE BEST DAY EVER that's what!
filling the car with presents
We are all incredibly excited to be heading to my folks' house, the home I grew up in, for the big day this year, and that means being prepared. Here I am packing the car up about to embark of one of the many #Journeysthatmatter to me, something that Esso are highlighting this season.
Setting off from Leeds to Newcastle on a grey and drizzly day on Saturday to celebrate the launch of Esso's Synergy Fuels, the rain surprisingly and much to the awe of my kids, soon turned to snow on the motorway mid-journey.
We certainly didn't expect it. And certainly not as much.
As all you parents will know, it's rare to get 'couple time' when kids come along, and the last time Peter and I got a night away together was way back in June. A whole season ago then
