If you´ve been enjoying the blog up to this point, then thank you for your attention and interest. This being the final blog, we hope not to let you down. However, this is a little personal, and although we have no new destinations to offer you, we wanted the chance to reflect on this final and most important one - home. What it is to have a home is something we have learnt to appreciate this year; ever-moving as we have been. Having family and close friends - those who understand you, and love you for being you; that is so important, and we have missed it. We've missed their easy conversation, their warmth and their energy. What else have we missed? Well, bread, cheese and milk, as we know and love them. Our sofa we ... read more

Well, just to finish off our blog in style, we thought we'd let you know how our first few weeks back home have panned out...... Av managed to get himself employed as an electrician within a couple of weeks of being home and is thoroughly enjoying his new career. HMRC R.I.P!! Suzz has found herself a Finance Managers position with a small, recently established company much closer to home and has been there for 4 weeks now.

Hi everyone We've decided to stop talking about the weather (aka rain) because it never changes!! Canterbury was a very interesting and picturesque town. We stayed at a hotel called Fusion in the Paris room. It's an old coaching inn that had been modernised with taste. You know those places with small crooked staircases, uneven walls and black wooden beams that tall people are guaranteed to hit there head on! We had a French themed room and the bathroom was superb. We seem to be having a run of great luck with bathrooms! This was more attractive than the last one....it had a claw foot bath just like you see in old French movies! The town was full of narrow cobblestone streets, funny little crooked pubs and interesting shops. A most pleasant way to spend an ... read more

I am finally here, and I am so excited. I got into London about an hour late, and then it was an hour and a half to train and metro in to Izzy's house. By the way, I highly recommend Virgin Atlantic! It's brilliant, very nice. Anyway, nothing terribly exciting has happened (well to write about) I already feel at home here, it's perfect. I am going to go get over my jet lag, but tomorrow should be exciting! CHEERS!... read more
