Ok, so I wrote this post ages ago and never got around to putting it up. I’m sorry I have been rubbish! Obviously you can all ignore the smug weather references that were relevant when I wrote it but aren’t now you are all basking in the sunshine of the UK heat wave! Enjoy! I’ll … Continue reading

G’Day!
It’s a little late, but I am finally writing this post from the banks of a beautiful lake in the South Island of New Zealand. There isn’t another soul in sight, it’s rather nice. I should say exactly where I am, but actually I haven’t a hope in hells chance of getting it right … Continue reading
Happy 2013
Hello Friends! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. That said, Christmas and New Year feel like a long time ago now. Suddenly it’s the middle of January and we only have 2 days left in Beautiful Bali. 2 DAYS! S**T! So, before we jump on a plane and leave the … Continue reading
Mo-vember (Or it would be, if Jim had started shaving)
I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas. Seriously. Just over 4 weeks to go! Where has the time gone? We are coming to the end of our 6th month in Bali and the time has just flown by so fast. It is the first time since we left that I have really thought I would like … Continue reading
A Quiet October
Hello! We are back for an update, refreshed and ready to write! I should firstly apologise if my last blog post was slightly incoherent, as my brain was a little mushy when I put it out. The combination of a dissertation and exam revision (plus food, friends and beer) was taking its toll on my … Continue reading
Islands and Friends
Hello! The last month has been a whirlwind of visitors, work and emotions (mostly mine!). We have had an amazing time catching up with Helen Dalton, Chris Simpson, Dave Williams and Sarah McPhee and meeting Ele and Rich along the way. It’s been great to have lots of different people around to help us break our routine … Continue reading
Our Return To Paradise
It’s been a little while since I posted on here as I have been very lazy! In my defence I did have a big fat assignment to do for my sports nutrition course, but I am pretty sure moaning about the amount of work I have to do is unlikely to get me any sympathy … Continue reading
Stitches, Road Trips and Puppies
Since I last wrote Jim and I have been sampling a lot more of the local culture. We started this journey to gain a better understanding of Balinese people and their ways, quite naturally, with a trip to the hospital. Predictably, it was me who prompted our first experience of the medical services Bali has to … Continue reading
No Surf Days
This blog post is a little late because, as usual, was down to the wire on my latest assignment and I couldn’t face the computer for at least 3 days post deadline….but I’m back! And with a few less tales of woe this time as well. Tuesday 3/7/12 (Day 33). Today is the worst sort … Continue reading
All Things Bad Come in Three’s………….
(and I’m not talking about your children, Mum) So, it’s been an eventful couple of weeks since I last wrote…….I will fill you in…. Firstly I have decided that I will (for now at least) up-date the blog every 2 weeks, as if I do it any more frequently I am unlikely to have … Continue reading
