Postcards from Europe

My goodness friends, it has been a long time between posts! Last time you heard from us we had just left Paris…

While I fully intended to keep this space updated while we travelled, sometimes good intentions aren’t quite enough. Wifi was unreliable a lot of the time we were away, we found putting posts together difficult without our usual laptop, and if I’m to be very honest, blogging just wasn’t really a priority while we were adventuring. I spent about a week stressing about the fact I “needed” to post here, before giving myself a (metaphorical) shake and reminding myself that actually, the world doesn’t stop if I don’t blog. While I love coming here to tell our story, doing so is not life or death, and while we were soaking up this once in a lifetime experience, it just wasn’t all that important. I know your worlds carry on just fine without us popping up in your reader, and so, I let go… We enjoyed our trip and we didn’t worry about documenting, knowing this space would be waiting for us on our return. It was a good reminder of the importance of taking a step back and living in the moment.

Our time in Europe was incredible. So many lifelong dreams fulfilled and so many once in a lifetime opportunities experienced. From meandering down an Amsterdam canal in a paddleboat, to climbing the stairs of Prague castle and wandering the ruins of the Roman forums, there were so many magical moments during our six week journey. Of course, as with all things in life, there were less-than-perfect bits too! But on reflection, I’ve come to realise that sometimes the mishaps make for the best (and funniest) stories.

Reubs and I actually arrived home about a week ago but since our return we’ve been taking it easy. We both came back with nasty cases of laryngitis (as well as jet lag) so we’ve needed to take some time to rest and recuperate. This week we’re both feeling better and getting back into the swing of our regular routines. Our trip was wonderful, but it feels so good to be home!

I hope things have been sunshiny and happy for you while we’ve been away? And you’ve been having a lovely spring? (Or autumn!) I have so missed this space…

PPS If you’d like to see more of our holiday snaps, there are quite a few on Instagram. I tried not to go too overboard with pics in this post!
