Well I kind of said it all in the title!
I have finally completed my last OU course, took my exam on Monday and think it went ok, should get the results in August, so I’ll find out then if I passed or not. Fingers crossed!!
Also this week our shipment from the states arrived and we […]

We’ve finally done it! We’re back in sunny Bournemouth and loving it! Jasper and I moved back last month and have moved in to a flat for 6 months in Westbourne. It feels very normal to be back, although I am still getting used to remembering that the shops aren’t all open 24 hours and […]

It’s our last weekend in California, and it feels … weird!

Jasper was wonderful today, I was awoken with presents including my new purple ipod shuffle!! And you know how much I love purple!

I was then taken to Starbucks to get a nice warm almond latte and a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant apparently!). We sat in the park and ate breakfast, then Jasper dropped me […]

Wow, Santa Clara is all about the excitement!!
So, the story starts with a simple trip to Safeway. We decided to grab some bits for dinner for Wednesday night, so that we didn’t have to go food shopping on my birthday and the plan was for Jasper to cook for me. We picked all the bits […]
