Saying goodbye to everyone this weekend is going to be horrible! We’re going for a house meal to say farewell and we have a lot of cleaning to do for our move out inspection. Libby and I finally booked our flights yesterday after weeks of deciding what to do and...

It’s been a busy few weeks. My mum and dad arrived in Sydney last Sunday and they’re on a big 6 week adventure, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary (Legends!) I quit my job last week so I could spend time with them and get myself organised for the next...
