I can’t believe we are nearly half way through the year already, and I feel like compared to the last couple of years, I haven’t really done much in the way of travel planning! I would, of course, love to change this, however life has, as always, gotten in the way! It is all for good reason though… I have been spending time with loved ones, and I have just started a new contract job, which will hopefully see me through the next 12+ months. What with everything going on, I have found it harder than usual to get my planning head on and get stuff in the diary.

That doesn’t mean to say that I have no plans at all – I am potentially taking a trip to Turkey later this summer to attend a friend’s wedding, and I have another friend’s wedding a little later on in the year. As an enjoyer of music, I also have a gig or two planned. PLUS it is getting into barbecue season right now, which always brings opportunities for good times with friends & family! All these things to look forward to are keeping me happy and enthused 😊

I am hoping to book at least a couple more adventures (let’s face it, probably just nice holidays for now!) away this year. Part of me would just like to get away anywhere, just for a welcome change of scenery and a break away from life for a week or so, be it in the UK or abroad. As always, recommendations are welcome, and I will be sure to post an update if/as/when something exciting is on the horizon! For now, enjoy a photo that I took a couple of months back on a cycle ride in the forest…
