Its coming to that time of year where we all look to move forward into 2015 and what might lie ahead to greet us. Since returning from Australia I have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride, some good experience, some not so great. I've missed the contentness I felt while living in the Southern Hemisphere. Yes there were bumpy times but aren't there always. I have to admit I have longed for that way of life since stepping off the plane after touching down at Heathr...

So I arrived back over east on Tuesday. The time since has flewn by. Everything has been winding down. Loose ends tied off and plans being made for the next chapter.

So I am just under 3 weeks away from returning to the UK. The last 6 months have gone far too fast! I have enjoyed every second though and have lots of fun planned until I go. I'm currently visiting the welsh side of my family in NSW. It's lovely to be going at a slower pace at the moment and to catch up with them before I go. Things were rather busy up until I left.
