Life Is What Happens...

… when you’re busy making other plans.

Well that was unexpected! The past six months have been some of the most challenging and rewarding, but they've also been fairly all-consuming. I’m always conscious that I landed my dream job but I do have to balance that with how relentlessly demanding it is.

On top of that, the last quarter of last year included some pretty incredible travel experiences with four countries visited in three months!

Even I can admit that burning the candle on both ends is on brand for me

Before I knew it, six months had passed and I hadn't posted on this blog. The longer I left it, the harder it felt to explain the gap. I've even had a fully written post about our time in Bath sitting in my drafts all this time.

It feels like I’ve been trying to catch my breath for months but I’m happy to say things are finally starting to settle down.

So I’m easing myself back into writing and exploring again, and I’m really looking forward to catching up on everyone else’s adventures. I’ll do my best not to disappear again.

First, though, a little glimpse of what I've been up to all this time.

Let me know what you’d most like to read about and I’ll post about that first!
