So last week probably wasn’t the greatest week if I’m totally honest, it was a rough week, especially because I have been ridiculously ill, but there were still some wonderful things that happened regardless of the fact that I was ill. We are also one step closer to Autumn, there is a chill in the air, leaves are starting to turn, the nights are drawing in, and I’m so ready to grab all the candles and enjoy the best few months of the entire year! So what are some of the loveliest things that happened this week?
1. Harry Potter
Paul and I have continued our binge watch of Harry Potter – on Sunday we started the Half Blood Prince got half way through and almost fell asleep I was so tired, but I forgot how much I enjoyed just curling up in bed, watching a film, without sweating so much, it was a nice chilled time for me and I loved every moment!
2. Farm Shop Shopping
Now I’m very lucky that in my area we have a lot of farm shops that sell local and delicious fresh fruit and vegetables, and on Thursday I went to the farm shop with my in laws and got lots of delicious fresh veggies – including something for my rabbit BB-8 and I made the most delicious chips in the entire world. I mean holy crap they tasted amazing. You can always tell the difference in my opinion.
3. Costa Coffee
If you didn’t see on Thursday I also went to get a coffee, probably wasn’t the best idea but I love my coffee, I can’t live without my coffee and it was such a good coffee, but if you’re wondering if I had a pumpkin spice latte – no I didn’t. I’m allergic to cinnamon so I cant have one.
4. Listening to the rain while reading a book
Even though I’ve been ill, last week it poured down with rain, I laid in bed, opened my book and just appreciated the rain and being curled up with a good book. It was such a small thing but the small thins in life mean the absolute world. Listening to the rain is one of my favourite things, and that smell after the rain, oh my gosh it is so refreshing!
5. Roast dinners
My husband makes the best roast dinner and oh em gee, on Sunday it is 100% perfection. I’m all about the delicious food and the thing is a roast dinner on a Sunday is my favourite thing in the world, I mean carb me up, give me all the potatoes, a mountain of veggies then sign me up for all the roast dinners.
6. New books
I got some new books for my birthday and honestly I’ve been loving them so much! I always ask for books, books are my favourite things, and my step dad really knows how much I love them and came through for my birthday! So far I’ve been really getting into He Said She Said by Erin Kelly – Thank you to Kirsty Ralph for the recommendation! The book is so good, and I have lots more to get through too!

Me too! It’s getting to that time of the year where all the best films and TV shows are on! xxxx
Harry Potter is a must for Autumn and you can’t beat a good roast dinner either! 😀 x
Honestly roast dinners make my heart happy. I’m all for veggies, and potatoes & gravy xxx
I fell asleep listening to the rain last week and I love it – makes me feel so cosy x
It has to be one of the best feelings ever just listening to the rain! xxxx
Yay my favourite posts! Sounds like you had a lovely week. My happy things from the week just gone would DEFINITELY be Strictly back on the TV! xxx
Everyone seems to be watching it right now! You know when Christmas is coming when Strictly is on TV! xxxx
I love visiting Farm Shops, it is the best!
I’m so lucky to have about 4 in my local area! xxx
I absolutely love Harry Potter, is always gets me excited for these last few months of the year. We watched the first one that was on TV on Saturday, it was lovely to get cosy and not actually be boiling hot! x

I totally saw everyone watching it, and I was like, if only I had waited a bit longer, I could have watched it on TV! Xxxx
Ah this is such a lovely post – I love the way you write and connect with people and it’s always lovely to sit down in the evening and catch up with peoples blogs.
I love this post too as we normally see negative things online so it’s nice to see how you’ve managed to focus on the positives and share what made you happy and what you enjoyed last week – I do love a good cup of coffee, I’ll go and pop the kettle on now haha!

Thank you so much my lovely, that really does mean the world to me! I love to share the good and bad on my blog to be honest! xxx
Harry Potter and new books is the only way to make me feel better haha!
I totally agree my lovely! xxxx
This post made me feel so cosy!! All of these things are my favourite thing about the autumn season. The best thing to happen to me this week was going out for a meal with my Nan which made me feel super happy! ☺️
P.S. I LOVE that your rabbit is called BB-8
Oooh that is such a lovely thing to do with your Nan! xxx
Harry Potter is amazing I really want to go to the Studio Tour and I’ll definitely rewatch all the films before I go! Also I love a good roast dinner, we went for a carvery a couple of weeks ago and it was SO good!

I really want to go on the tour as well! It looks amazing! xxxx
I love reading posts like this. It just shows that even while the week may not have been great, you can appreciate the little things and it makes things so much better. I love a good Costa, too, although I cannot stand coffee myself, which is weird because I love the smell! I love their coolers, though, and easily spent £100 last year, when the college I went to decided to build a costa in reception. It’s like my kryptonite!
I think the little things make a massive difference! xxxx
Love how positive this post is! I’m a huge lover of coffee, too and I’ve recently got back into reading which has been so lovely. Such a great hobby to be able to just relax! Bloody love some roast potatoes too, especially doused in gravy!
Alice Xx
Thank you so much my lovely! Reading is one of the best things to relax! xxx
It really is the little things in life that make us most happy! Loved reading this post xxx
I totally agree my lovely, it’s the little things in life that matter! xxxx
I love every single one of these things. Seriously, the BEST happy things list ever. Since being vegan and at Uni, I appreciate roast dinners soooo much more now. Whenever I see a veggie one anywhere I get so excited. Harry Potter is my most favourite thing ever and so is costa and having new books is the best thing ever!
Lon x
Roast dinners are literally the best dinners ever and Harry Potter is the best series! xxxx
I love Harry Potter! I haven’t just sat down and watched the films in ages though, so I think I’m going to start from the beginning and just watch all of them 🙂
Julia // The Sunday Mode
You need to watch them again! I love them so much! xxx
I had such a hard week last week I was a mess. I’m defo trying to be more positive this week!
Rosie
I’m always here if you need a chat my darling! xxx
This literally made me feel so happy? I want to go carvery, get coffee, read books on a train and watch Harry Potter now, lovely post xxx
Thank you my lovely! These are literally all my favourite things xxx
Love a good Harry Potter binged! Oh and listening to the rain!
Jessica & James | http://www.foodandbaker.co.uk / http://www.foodandbakertravels.co.uk
Me too! It’s such an easy thing to watch and I just love it so much! xxx
Harry Potter is my happy place! Books and movies are my go-to, they are just so good! New books are always great!
Same! It’s like a throwback for me because I’d seen them all in the cinema! xxx
Love the positivity here! I’m also a complete sucker for farmer’s markets, they’re such a cheap way to get really nice quality veggies. I always feel good that I’m supporting local businesses too.
Megan // https://pixieskiesblog.wordpress.com
I love being able to support local businesses & our farm shop does the best fruit and veggies! xxx
Ooh I love this list. Summer is my favourite but I am super excited to be able to start eating roast dinners! I love Costa too and now I really fancy a vanilla latte!
Soph – https://sophhearts.com x
Roast dinners are the best! Oooh a vanilla latte sounds heavenly! xxx
Roast dinners make me very happy too! I always look forward to Sunday’s because of them. Aww, reading a book whilst listening to the rain sounds perfect. I hope you are feeling better now lovely. Great post Amie <3 xx

Thank you my lovely, I am definitely feeling a lot better, it’s just a slow recovery! xxx
Thanks for sharing Amie! I absolutely love HP marathons! Especially this time of year when it’s getting cooler out. And for me there’s nothing better than reading a new book.
I know, it’s like when it gets colder it’s time for Harry Potter! xxx
I agree, reading while listening to the rain outside is the best!
It’s so soothing isn’t it?! xxxx
I am also so excited for Autumn, right now by me the weather is a bit of summer with a pinch of a little breeze so I can’t wait until its officially autumn, can’t wait to wear my sweaters and make myself some hot chocolate as we get closer to winter!
Binge watching Harry Potter is one of my favorite things to do, especially in the winter when there’s a marathon of it! That’s amazing that you live by local farm shops, nothing is better than fresh fruit/vegetables!
I love reading when it’s raining too, it’s just so relaxing! Not sure if you heard about the Blogger’s Book Club with @thehelsproject on twitter but if not, you should definitely check it out, we read a book for the month and discuss it!

I really want to get my jumpers out right now! They’re like calling to me! xxxx
I’m just sat here completely in love with the fact your bunny is called BB-8?! How did I not know this? So CUTE! I’m also so sad that you’re allergic to cinnamon 🙁 I also love listening to the rain on my windows, even better if like you said there’s a good book involved! x x
Ellis // http://www.elliswoolley.co.uk
She is a little cutie to be honest! and I know, everyone is like how to do cope without having cinnamon, I’m okay with it actually, but even the smell gives me a migraine let alone trying to eat it makes me so so ill! It’s awful! xxxx
Roast dinners, Harry Potter and Costa Coffee? Yes please. 😍
It’s like the perfect combo isn’t it? xxxx
It’s the little things!! I hardly ever have roasts but a roast potato has to be one of the finest foods ever made! I’m craving all the food now…x

I’m a sucker for a good roast potato! xxxx
Harry Potter makes everything better! I don’t trust people who don’t like Harry Potter hahah.

Same! My husband isn’t a massive fan but he enjoys the films, he is more of a Lord of the Rings fan! I love the LOTR books but not the films! xxxx
I just heard costa do a vegan cookie now so check it out when you next go!! Xx
I know! I need to try it so badly! xxx
You can’t beat a Harry Potter binge! Or a good roast, and a Costa for that matter!
http://littlemissmelanie.com
It’s like the best combination isn’t it?! xxxx
Farm Shop Shopping sounds amazing and I can’t resist a roast!
I love going to my local farm shop! So many local fruit and veggies and supporting a small business! xxx
Oh my gosh I love the sound of rain, in fact every night I either have to listen to the sound of rain on a car roof or on a tent in order to relax enough to sleep. It must drive my poor husband mad, but it’s my favourite thing. Also hell yes to the roast dinners! I am loving that it’s getting colder so I can find excuses to have them all the time haha, for sure my favourite meal!
Hope that you’re feeling much better!
Beth x Adventure & Anxiety
It’s so soothing though isn’t it, just listening to the rain? It makes me feel so calm and I feel so much better! xxxx
Love reading posts like these! It’s always the little things! I actually got a better position at work this week which was amazing and I bought a new theme for my blog- those are the only things I can think of at the moment haha! 💕💕
Oh my gosh congratulations on your better position my lovely! That is so exciting about a new theme! xxxx
This is such a lovely post!! I helped J with some things he’s been putting off for over a year, so I feel happy that it’s done and out of the way 😀 Also snugging on the sofa with J and Bear watching TV always makes me happy xx
That is amazing my lovely! Well done for doing all that! xxxx
I love these types of posts! They’re just so wholesome and encouraging. 🙂 Listening to the rain fall, while reading a good book is one of my favorite chill activities, too. There’s just something so peaceful and relaxing about it!
There is just something so soothing about listening to the rain fall! xxxx
Sorry to read you weren’t feeling very well lovely. There’s nothing better than a Harry Potter marathon. I’m so excited for all the Costa Christmas drinks to return! I love coffee but I’m not a fan of all these cinnamon & pumpkin combinations.
Roxie | thebeautifulbluebird
Thank you my darling! I’m looking forward to the Christmas drinks returning too, I honestly can’t cope with cinnamon, it makes me so ill! xxxx
I’m so glad you’ve managed to find little amazing things even though you’ve been ill. There’s nothing quite like getting comfy with a good book! xo

I love a good book to be honest! xxx
Harry Potter should always make people happy! I need to watch that all again soon
Harry potter is just the best isn’t it? xxxx
Costa Coffee is so amazing, I even got a Costa Club card because I love the brand so much. Reading a good book is great too, to explore a new world or someone else’s mind for a bit.

I love to read a good book, it honestly is so calming and soothing! xxxx
