8 Months in London

Yesterday marked 8 months since our move, yesterday the sun was shining, it was lovely and warm and I just felt so good about being here.

And this is the day we were graced with...


From my wander down the Thames on my lunch break. So spoilt.



It was easy to feel like we made the right decision moving here on a day like that. The best thing about a day like that, is that its not a one off any more, today is just like yesterday, as will it be tomorrow and the next day. Nothing beats London on a good day.



Currently 11am, and 14 degrees.



It's great feeling like summer is really here, we have been having such a good time, and have been getting out and really enjoying this weather!

There is so much to look forward too! Ben has a shooting day in Oxford tomorrow with work, next Friday is my work Gala, I have a charity Dragon Boat race day later this month and Greece is only 5 weeks away.

I am looking forward to our Grecian holiday, I have never been anywhere like this so am looking forward to ticking it off my bucket list. It will be 7 days of sailing, drinking, sunbathing and eating out AKA Bliss!!

Day 1- Perdika, Day 2- Ermoni, Day 3- Spetses, Day 4- Hyrda, Day 5- Poros, Day 6- Aegina, Day 7 -Back to Athens, 6 islands 7 days! I almost feel like I will need a holiday afterwards!

I am looking forward to Greece arriving for more than one reason, it means we no longer have to save for it.

Being paid monthy sucks, because such a large chunk goes to 'Greece' which dont get me wrong is amazing, but I also can't wait til it means that large chunk goes towards 'Anywhere we feel like going'- it means we can continue our adventure around Europe.

This weekend Ben and I are buying a wall planner, and planning the next 6 months of travel. Every month or two we aim to go somewhere. August I want to go to Paris.. the City of Love for my birthday.

It's a scary thought, we have been here 8 months and have only been to two countries. So we must be more proactive and get planning! It is too easy for months to slip by living here, such a bustling city where so much goes on all the time, I have blinked and now its June!

I am missing less about home, and enjoying more about the UK. Maybe I have realised that it's because 2 years really isn't much time... That I must enjoy it before I lose it. Or maybe it''s because I am really happy with how life seems to be panning out.
