We’ve loved being back home – the weather is so mild, we’ve had access to fresh shirts, and we’ve had a store bought coffee almost every day. We’ve been able to spend lots of time with family and friends, which will make us miss them more when we leave.
And also, Gemma & Chris’ wedding (the reason for us being here) was absolutely smashing. We had such a great time and are so happy that we were able to make it. The best part was seeing Gemma & Chris enjoying their party so much. I’ve never seen newly weds so relaxed; after some pre-ceremony nerves they slid right into party mode. It was really lovely to be a part of.
We have two weeks left before we fly back into London. After traveling for 9 months we are almost feeling like we are ready to join the real world again. We’ve had lots of time to relax, drink, reflect, and even develop new hobbies. We are looking forward to the next chapter in our adventure, even though it will inevitably be much shorter than our first. We aren’t ready for commitments and bills again just yet!
We are aiming to be in Scotland for the independence vote on the 18th of September, and then we’ll go frolic around Europe and throw daisy chains at homeless people and whatever else people do in Europe..
I am hoping that we will be able to keep the blog updated a little less tardy-like than recently..but no promises.
Also, here is the logo that I did (Isaac helped) for the Cafe in Shetland:
