Felt cute, might delete later (despite the fact my hair needs a cut, I have sleepy eyes and my eyebrows are half way through growing back) 🤪⁣
⁣
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a lovely, restful bank holiday! I was super grateful to navigate outside of Towcester and actually walk around Abington Park on Sunday and it’s nice that we have a bit more freedom to do so 💛 ⁣
⁣
Certainly focusing on the positives of all these shenanigans that are happening in the world (or mainly UK) right now! So I hope everyone is feeling okay and my DM’s are always open!⁣
⁣
It really helps me to know what I can look forward to and to focus on positive things such as having a plan for the weekend to find some more green spaces further afield, be able to go for a walk with my family members and friends from a distance and June is approaching (one month until my birthday lol)⁣
⁣
What’s keeping your mind happy right now? Normal Northamptonshire navigations, eat and independent content will resume shortly! 💭 #NavigatingNorthants #NicoleNavigates

[AD - Gifted] Delapré Abbey are now doing afterno

[AD - Gifted] Delapré Abbey are now doing afternoon tea collections! 🧁 ⁣
⁣
Remember that lovely afternoon tea we had at @delapreabbeyorangery just before lockdown? That was fantastic and I always dreamed of having another one once things got back to normal, so it was super exciting to hear that @delapreabbey had adapted their afternoon tea serving for collection and home enjoyment!⁣
⁣
Everything you could want was in this biodegradable tray and everything tasted fresh and brought me back to eating in the beautiful Orangery 😍 I especially loved the homemade almond cherry bakewells and obviously the scones which were fresh and crumbly! We really enjoyed our afternoon tea during our Friday afternoon at home!⁣
⁣
Collection is available 11am - 3pm Friday to Sunday and they’ve put some safety measures in place so you don’t have to worry about collecting it. ⁣
⁣Would you take advantage of something like this? Don’t forget, the grounds at the abbey are open, so maybe this could be enjoyed from a safe distance in the sunshine! ☀️ #NavigatingNorthants

HAPPY FRIDAY! ⁣
⁣
The weather might feel a bit dull, I have a bruised shoulder and have woken up to our garden table all smashed on our patio this morning 😅 but things like these beautiful flowers from @wilderfloraldesign will brighten up my mood 🌸⁣
⁣
I love bringing flowers into my home to make a space come to life and I’m really happy to see some local florists opening once again, as I truly think bouquets that are from local businesses have been picked and prepared with love ❤️⁣
⁣
I’d love to know what other #Northamptonshire florists are currently open and doing deliveries (I know a few) but Spring is truly the season to bloom! 🌺⁣
⁣
Let me know where you’re getting your flowers from locally in the comments (Northants or beyond!) 👇🏻 #NavigatingNorthants

[AD - Gifted] Happy hump day! We’re closer to payday, so why not support a local business and treat yourself? 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
@tasties_kitchen_ is the latest Northamptonshire craze right now who are delivering some moreish treats across the county and is run by a two person team.⁣
⁣
Favourite treats include the brownies, Rice Krispie slices (what a throwback to childhood) and those gooey red velvet cookies 😍 the way they crumbled apart when broken was just as SATISFYING as the taste!⁣
⁣
Go check these guys out, if you haven’t had enough of cake and treats during lockdown (I mean, can you really get enough?) 😉 but I’ve added Tasties Kitchen and some other additions to my Northamptonshire Cake Delivery Guide on the blog for more information!⁣
⁣
Will you be supporting a local business this payday to treat yourself or someone else? Let me know if you’re gonna order a treat box like this! 😋 #NavigatingNorthants

GETTING TO KNOW NICOLE NAVIGATES⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Oh hey! 👋🏼 I’ve had a few new followers join me on here and I’m so close to 8k, I thought it would be time to do a re-introduction to anyone thats new!⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
💁🏻‍♀️ I’m Nicole, I’m 25 years old and I am a Northamptonshire blogger and content creator at Nicole Navigates⁣⁣⁣ and I’ve been blogging for 5 years⁣
⁣
🏡 I live in my own house with my boyfriend, Josh, where we’ve been living for almost a year now in a town called Towcester (pronounced as Toaster!) in Northamptonshire⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
👩🏻‍💻 I studied a Musical Theatre degree at University of Chichester, my blog then gave me my first job in digital marketing and have been working in that industry since. I now work as the Creative Assistant to Louise Pentland⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
☕️ I’m a huge coffee lover, I can’t function without my morning one⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
💻 I blog about Northamptonshire’s independent eats and navigations, as well as being a big advocate for supporting local businesses. Whilst we are at home more, I am just trying to adapt and blog about who is delivering locally and what essentials are about!⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
🦀 I am a typical Cancer who is emotional, loves home and family means everything - I’m a bit of a zodiac believer!⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
🍔 Food makes me very happy and it’s the way to win my heart. Favourite food includes pasta, pizza and Chinese!⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
🦻🏼 I have a 60% hearing loss in my left ear and (should) wear a hearing aid ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
⚡️ Other facts: I love supporting local and exploring what’s on my doorstep, but I also love time to myself watching Disney+ or Netflix, I’m rubbish at keeping up with latest fashion trends and I’m fond of a good afternoon nap on weekends!⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
That’s me in a nutshell! If you read till the end, tell me some facts about you if you’re one of the newbies here, but if you’ve been here a while, tell me a fun fact about yourself 👇🏻⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
(Throwback to when we enjoyed Afternoon Tea at @delapreabbeyorangery who are now doing afternoon tea collections FYI!) 👌🏼 #NavigatingNorthants

All Monday mornings need to start with a coffee fix ☕️ ⁣
⁣
I’m looking forward to a fresh, new week as I felt revived after a long weekend and then had 3 days back at work, but now I’m rating to go!⁣
⁣
I’ve been enjoying sampling lots of local independent coffees lately, including @wellroastedcoffee who are Northamptonshire/Leicestershire based and this Costa Rica blend is rich, smooth and has blended notes of chocolate which is just 👌🏼⁣
⁣
I have a blog post coming soon about some of the independent Northamptonshire based coffee brands I am using recently, but I am so keen to hear what indie coffee brands (whether you use beans or ground) you use as I can’t get enough 🤪⁣
⁣
Are you feeling fresh for a new week? What’s your go-to beverage to wake you up? 💭 #NavigatingNorthants #NicoleNavigatesHome
