Wagga Wagga to Worcestershire & back again
First of all, I just wanted to say a big thank-you for all of you who got in touch last week to wish me well. I really appreciate your kind words and they did wonders while I was feeling rather poorly.
Today I want to take you to a stunning spot, just outside of Brisbane. I mentioned my little trip to Mt Glorious the other day on the blog and I’m still thinking about the few hours I spent enclosed in misty forest…
Adam and I have just got back to Wagga Wagga after a lovely week away. We didn’t get up to much – just lots of napping, reading, and swimming with a touch of socialising. It was just what we both needed.
If you’re interested, here’s a peek at what the last week looked like…
Adam and I are off on a little holiday to Brisbane, Queensland in a few days time and we both can’t wait. It’s only for a few days, but we’re very much looking forward to some downtime by a pool and catching up with friends and family – some of whom we haven’t seen since we set off for England in 2016.
As with all my mini-breaks, I’ll be keeping my luggage to a minimum…
Wagga Wagga is in the midst of a heatwave at the moment. We had three consecutive days above 40ºC (104ºF) last week and after a few days ‘respite’ (35ºC and 32ºC respectively) the rest of this week is set to stick in the high 30s and low 40s.
I don’t particularly enjoy that sort of extreme heat. Warm is lovely… but at the moment it’s just downright ridiculous! It’s making me crave the cool, damp days we had back in England just a few short weeks ago…
I can’t quite believe Christmas Eve is here already – with the wedding and our lovely holiday back in the U.K., the last few months just seem to have whizzed by. I spent the weekend deep cleaning the house, finishing up the gift shopping and buying lots of delicious food. Adam and I welcome my parents and brother this afternoon and we’re looking forward to spending some one-on-one time with them all over the coming days.
I sometimes think the build up to Christmas is more lovely than the day itself – am I the only one?! You’ve got time to ease yourself into the festive spirit and special moments manifest themselves when you least expect them. This year I got to experience the pre-Christmas buzz in both Australia and England, so today I want to take you back to early December – when trees were just being decorated and lights switched on and Christmas markets were in full force…
Adam and I talked at length about what we wanted to do for our honeymoon after our wedding. After much discussion, we decided to eschew from a more traditional fortnight getaway, in favour of a short mini-break. Our time in England was limited and we wanted to make the most of being able to spend time with family and friends.
So less than 24 hours after we said ‘I do’, we jumped in the car and headed for a cosy little apartment in rural Herefordshire…
It’s a little over a fortnight since Adam and I got married in a 17th century barn in rural Herefordshire on a grey late autumn day. Now we’re back in Australia, overcoming jet lag, head colds and slightly struggling with searing summer temperatures, that day feels both like a moment and a lifetime ago…
