VALENTINES DAY

For Valentines Day Seany booked the most beautiful hotel in Birmingham for us. The little cutie got us a lovely room at the Radisson Blu hotel in the city center. He knew I'd always wanted to stay at 'the big blue hotel' and made sure I did.


We checked in just after 2pm, after an emergency stop at Primark for a black belt as I'd forgot to pack mine oops. We then went straight up to our beautiful room and admired the gorgeous view. The room was perfect. Me and Sean relaxed with a few cups of complimentary tea before taking a shower and getting ready to go for dinner. 

Two brown rucksacks in front of a large window. The smaller rucksack has multi coloured thread running through the body of it.

We had our Valentines dinner at Handmade Burger in the Bullring and it was delicious. We've never had a bad meal there but this was just amazing! I would 100% recommend eating there!

After dinner we made a little stop at Build a Bear Workshop and made our own teddy bears before heading back to our room.

When we got back I cracked open a couple bottles of wine and we sat looking out over Birmingham. I can't even begin to explain how lovely and relaxing it is just watching the world go by, especially when you can see for miles. 

Just before midnight we settled down to watch Bad Grandpa which is actually hilarious. We must have kept our neighbors awake with our laughing. After the film finished we decided to get some sleep but set our alarms for 7am so we could watch to sun rise over the city.

I wouldn't be valentines night without drinking wine in the candlelight now would it?

At 7 we woke up and waited for the sunrise. I couldn't really get a good photo, but it was lovely. We had a couple more hours sleep before waking up for a yummy full English breakfast and check out.
