SAVE THIS POST 💐 Northamptonshire florists!

Whilst we can’t navigate at the moment much, I thought it would be nice to “virtually” navigate to places in Northamptonshire and share some top places to go and eat in Instagram posts, which you can save for later 👉🏼 just tap the flag on the right of this post to save! I thought I would start with something bright for a Sunday!

I don’t know about you, but I miss grabbing a bunch of flowers from local florists! So I’ve put together some places you should consider visiting to spring up your home
.
🌸 @perkinsflorist in Duston Village (pictured) who has the loveliest mint green exterior and a wide selection of blooming buds!
🌸 @homeland_florists on Harborough Road, Northampton just makes you smile when you walk inside to all the flowers
🌸 @mi55_lillies in Towcester who not only have an array of flowers and bouquets to choose from, but have gifts for every occasion too!
🌸 The Flower Pot in Brackley who have a gorgeous display outside with the view of the town hall

When all this is over, which florist are you looking forward to visiting? Or where are you looking forward to visiting overall? 💭 #NavigatingNorthants

I don’t usually find myself sitting on my kitche

I don’t usually find myself sitting on my kitchen counter, but hey, when isolated and stuck at home, you’ll do anything for the gram, right? 😂 but in other news

It’s the weekend! Plans are to deep clean the house 🏡 as we’ve been pretty lazy this week! Complete a puzzle, do some self care (lots of bubble baths) and start the #NorthantsCookGuide!

It feels quite freeing that I have a whole weekend with no plans, so experimenting in the kitchen with some tasty recipes using some Northants local products starting with @bitemespices where I’m thinking of giving a chicken wrap with spicy slaw recipe a go! 🤤 don’t forget, if you want to support local, the @nnfoodmarket is back on next weekend where lots of local food and drink producers will be posting details on how you can buy!

What will you be cooking this weekend? And if you fancy, tag a Northants local food and drink producer who would like to get involved in my guide! 👇🏻 #NicoleNavigatesHome

We’ve survived a full week of isolation 🙏🏻

We’ve survived a full week of isolation 🙏🏻 how are you coping?

I’ve had my up’s and down’s this week, like everyone, but a few things have kept me going during this uncertain time:

Our daily exercise walking around and discovering new places we’ve never seen before gives us something to look forward to 🌿 speaking to my friends and family on @houseparty app which is awesome for multi-screen chatting 💛 cooking home cooked meals with Spotify playing 🎶 having a Friday night takeaway to look forward to 🤤 watching endless Disney+ including binge watching Recess 💻 and having Josh by my side through all this.

Also my blog has been keeping me busy as I have a lot of inspiration right now 🙌🏻 look out for some more blog posts soon!

Tell me what’s currently keeping you sane right now! At least it’s the weekend now! 💭 #NavigatingNorthants

BEST BAKERIES IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE! Whilst we are

BEST BAKERIES IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE!

Whilst we are looking for more ways to stock up on essential items, plus avoid busy supermarkets and support local, I thought it was fitting to share my latest #NorthantsFoodGuide on the best independent bakeries in Northamptonshire 🍞 because you can’t resist that delightful smell of baked goods!

Whether you are able to go outside, or are looking for local deliveries, I’ve included details on what each bakery has as well as their delivery details. But can we just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful @dustonvillagebakery building 😍! Exciting stuff: I’ll be speaking to Annabel Amos on @bbcnorthampton from 8:40am about my bakery guide so if you’re around and fancy having a listen, stick the radio on!

Which bakery do you love visiting? If I’ve missed any, let me know and I’ll add them on my navigating list when I can go out and about again! 💭 #NavigatingNorthants

“So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all problems for the time being” 💛 how are we feeling this morning?

I’m not gonna lie: I feel anxious about everything in my life and for my loved ones right now. But without going into details, I am going to do my upmost best to keep optimistic 🙏🏻 the one thing that really reduces my stress and turns my brain off when I need a brain break is cooking in our kitchen.

It’s small and cosy, but it’s my space where I can switch Alexa on and shuffle my Spotify, whilst I cook something yummy and homemade in the kitchen 😋 I guess I’ll be doing this a lot going forward!

One thing I’d love to share with you guys is recipes using local food and drink producers products which can make easy meals which you can make at home whilst still supporting local 🙌🏻 I have a name for it too: #NorthantsCookGuide! 👩🏻‍🍳 so expect a new segment coming into my blog very soon!

If I can’t go out and support Northants, I’ll bring Northants to my kitchen!

How does this sound? Let me know if you’re excited to learn how to cook using favourite local producers products! I can’t wait to get started 🙌🏻 #NicoleNavigatesHome

Focusing on the positives 💛 happy Monday everyo

Focusing on the positives 💛 happy Monday everyone!

Our world is constantly changing and I can’t quite believe how much has changed in the last week. It’s quite overwhelming and I am not too sure what to say and what to do.

We went out for a big walk on Saturday as we wanted some fresh air and to stretch our legs around the beautiful Harlestone Firs 🌿 now due to ongoing changes, I think now is the time to stay at home, so there won’t be much navigating for a while and it would be wrong of me now to inspire you to go anywhere right now.

So I am now trying to focus on the positives so I don’t go completely mad and feel down. I’m grateful that we have a roof over our head, we have food in our fridge, I am able to do my job from home and I have Josh with me to keep me company 🙏🏻 so I guess keep your eye out for more home content with a bit of navigating and eating content for when this all blows over!

To keep it positive, tell me 3 things you’re currently grateful for now (and I’d you have any content suggestions on what I should be sharing, let me know too! 🙌🏻) #NavigatingNorthants
