So, remember that time we went home for Christmas? …probably not, because I never actually blogged about it! (facepalm) In short: We flew home – we had Christmas with our families – we celebrated New Year’s Eve – I turned 32 (not too keen on seeing that in writing) – we saw as many friendsContinue reading “Groningen Round-Up 3 (Plus Some Extra)”

Spring has Sprung !
I would just like to start by saying {please dont let me jinx it!} we’re heading for spring folks! Proof you say? I took this picture at 7:15pm. It’s daylight, there is actual visible blue sky, and the wind isn’t blowing (you’ll just have to trust me on that last part). That’s spring in theContinue reading “Spring has Sprung !”
