Hello 2015

2014 was fun and exciting, challenging and rewarding, swelteringly hot and freezing cold. I climbed mountains, saw things I can't even dream of seeing again, went back to school, got a job, petted alpacas, visited the jungle, made shapes in salt that looked like snow and settled into living the life of the 9-5 grind again. We met amazing people I hope to see again sometime in the future, and got to spend some time with family and old friends we hadn't seen for such a long time. We saw in the year with the lovely Rosario and Antonio in Buenos Aires, sat in a park and watching the sun come up, and ended it back where I was three years ago, in the Coppards' front room.

This was the year I felt I got a few things out of my system, resolved that there were lots of other things I wanted to do and really got my head down to try and achieve a few things.

Here are a few highlights of 2015:













What a wonderful year it was! Let's hope 2015 is just as memorable!

Coming Round the Mountain in Competa

I arrived back on Tuesday evening feeling incredibly relaxed after our few days in Competa, Spain.

My Aunty Liz and her partner Frank live out in the mountains in an amazing log cabin that they've built from scratch. It was lovely to watch the sun come up and the shadows disappear in the morning, and lay by the pool(with a gin in hand!) as the sun went down.

We spent some time ambling down the windy streets of Competa, a sleepy village in the mountains with white washed buildings and squares lined with cafes.

We slurped at ice cream as it tried to melt in sunny Nerja by the sea and ate lots of food typically British and exotically foreign.

It was great to see Liz and Frank again after so long and see how they live in Spain.

Vamos a España

My mum and I are off to Spain today to go and visit my Aunty in Andalucia. I'm very excited as it's the first time I will have seen her in years, and it marks the end if a hectic week at work!

It's our first holiday together since she came to see me in Korea! I intend to relax, read, eat lots of delicious food and drinks wine before my course at Sheffield University starts next week! Phew!
