June was good for the soul. We almost always go on holiday and it’s always Pride. 🏳️‍🌈 How could I not love it?

We went back to the Cinque Terre. My heart belongs there. It was the first place I ever visited in Italy and is still my favourite place I’ve visited in Italy so far, well Venice is a close second because of reasons!

So there is a lot of Cinque Terre in this months photo dump. I’d easily do all 10 but other stuff did happen. 😂

🇮🇹 View from our apartment. We always stay in Corniglia, it’s the middle village, smallest and most difficult to get to. Never stayed in a place there with a bad view. A lovely little note. There was a lady here the first time we came who was old then but she was the BOSS! When we came back in 2016 she looked shook and I thought maybe she was unwell. During the plague of 2020 I often thought of her and thought there was no way she’d have survived. Well she only bloody did. Have a picture of her and all. She is a badass!

🏘️ Riomaggiore. Skipping the big hike picture in favour of this one after we accidentally did a really hard hike here while I was in a dress and flats! Stupid but survived! 😂

🏖️ Monterosso is the spot most people stay in when they stay in the Cinque Terre. It’s gorgeous and has the best lemon Spritz BUT it’s also crazy busy, as are all the villages except… Corniglia where once the last train leaves is lovely and quiet.

🌅 Our last sunset in Cinque Terre. It will never get old.

💅 Holiday nails. Adore them.

🍋 Vodka lemon sorbet. First time we had it there. How is this the first time after having been to Italy so many times? It was epic. We had a lot. 😂

🚴‍♀️BACK AT IT. I adore spinning. Back for the first time since 2020. I’m now doing weights and spinning and I’m so happy. Can I do the 7am spins on a Wednesday is the question? 🙈

💪The 28th June marked exactly one year of me doing intentional movement. That’s just any and all movement every single day. There is no right or wrong way to do it. I started off doing little dance workouts and I now do crazy weight workouts most days. It’s bananas and I love it. 🏋️‍♀️And my reward for a year was 10kg and 15kg weights. Those 15’s are monsters. They’ll be sumo squats and hip trusts for a while. I thought I’d be getting a 20kg kettlebell soon! 🤣 Oh how naïve!

😻Would be rude not to and she looks like she is taking a selfie.

🏳️‍🌈 And last but not least. I hope everyone had a lovely Pride month. Town was banging last week. We love to see it.
