Still here

Yes, I'm still here... it's been a while since I have shown face here on the Red Brick blog. With all this travelling around and staying all over the UK it's been a bit tricky to keep up to date in this here space.

I think it's not only the lack of internet access that has prevented me from posting updates but also that this trip has been a serious over-load to the system, I think it will take me a while to process all the things we have seen and done over the past few weeks.

It's been so long since I was last here that I didn't realise how much I no longer feel British, caught between two cultures I certainly know where I feel more at home and Australia wins hands down.

This little taste of English summer has left  me craving for more. I can't wait for summer to come around in Australia, I'm craving hot, sunny days and balmy evenings. I don't want to wish away this time of year for those of you in the Northern hemisphere but lets just say I'm excited for Spring!

We are home this coming weekend and I can't wait to see our wonderful friends and my pets as well as getting back to the good ole' Red Brick. I promise to fill you in and share some ace content I have been dreaming up whilst I have been away! See you then!

Going home

In exactly one week Mark and I will be making the trip 9499 miles around the world to my homeland. For me it will be my first visit in the seven years since I came to Australia, for Mark it will be his first ever trip overseas. We are both excited as all heck.

We will be spending three weeks in England and Scotland visiting my family and showing Mark as many sights as possible. Our main stops will be to visit my Mum and siblings in Leeds to see some beautiful Victorian architecture.

A visit to my aunt in Bath including a visit to the historic Roman Baths.

A daytrip to see Stonehenge.

A few nights in stunning Edinburgh where I went to art school.

A trip to the wild and beautiful Isle of Skye in northern Scotland.

A relaxing week with family in the traditional seaside town of Whitby

Seriously, how cute are those beach huts!?

I shall be blogging whilst I'm away so you can see more of our adventures and I will also be asking some local bloggers to provide some ace content and DIY's while I'm gone. Yes, I will miss you and plan on sending you postcards!
