Fix You

We’ve been back from Japan for a few weeks now, it was the most incredible trip and I will tell you all about it soon! One of the downsides to a lengthy time away in beautiful sunshine was returning to the UK as autumn marched further towards winter at an………………………………….

The Final Countdown

May 10, 2017 May 10, 2017All Posts, Nicky's story

Four months before the wedding day, David’s carer left us. So whilst we searched for the perfect replacement, I became David’s full time carer….which believe me, is pretty intense and sometimes exhausting. Life with David is never dull but I was trying to manage my own work, wedding plans, gym………………………………….

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I know you’re waiting to hear about the wedding; about the meringue-i-ness of the dress; the music we danced to; the number of times I cried (it ran to several hundred before midday in case you were wondering!). But I need to finish telling you about the planning and the build………………………………….

Getting to Know You

I have so much to tell you about. I’m torn between telling you about the wedding and all the exciting things that are happening. But I also want to tell you more about the early days of our relationship and how I found myself turning cartwheels around the moon with happiness………………………………….

Could it be Magic?

Seeing as this blog is supposed to be about planning our wedding, I guess I should actually start telling you something about it! I’ll get to the wedding stuff, I promise; but there seems to be so many other tales to tell you as well! David’s most recent blog, tells………………………………….

Thinking Out Loud

It’s 17 weeks until we get married. 17 WEEKS!!!! How did that happen?!? We’ve still got so much to organise, but recently life has been revolving around sailing and our trip to the World Championships in Holland. David finished in 7th overall (pretty amazing stuff! He thinks he should have………………………………….

Doin’ the Do!

I believe I promised you all that I would tell you a bit more about a private side of our life. I’m not sure if I can make a blog post about sex funny and interesting whilst retaining an air of dignity, but I’ll gave it a go! Back in………………………………….

The Hardest Part

You will know by now that I threw myself into this relationship with every bit of strength I had. I chose to take on David’s care and I wanted to get heavily involved with sailing and rugby. We have a fantastic life. It’s very busy, often exhausting keeping up with………………………………….
