february update

Hallo everyone. Long time, no post. Sorry about that. We're living in such a social whirl over here, you know. . .

Since the last time I wrote: I have found gainful employment, Robyn has charged ahead into her MSc, we have both (separately) been back to New Zealand for three weeks, and we have survived almost half an English winter. In amongst other such things as museum visits, park outings, church events, finding a flat, and almost all of season one of '24'. So, you see, we have been busy.

I had a wet (shouldn't it be white?) Christmas in ye olde Merrie Englande, which I spent with my friends as the Good Shepherd Mission, having fostered the festive spirit by attending five different carol services. It was nice to have a "traditional" Christmas, with lots of stollen, mulled wine, and properly cold streets.

Robyn was back in NZ for the yule season, meeting her new nephew and seeing her brother married. She did a tiki-tour of the South Island as well as reclining on some of her favourite beaches in Auckland.

We crossed paths somewhere over Asia, as I headed back to the family home for some catch up time and to be bridesmaid to my good friend Jessica. Three weeks goes really fast when you're back home! It was lovely to see lots of my friends and spend time with my family.

We're pretty much settled back into work & study now, and are looking forward to moving into a flat in a couple of weeks (yay - we can go to IKEA!).

Our last little venture was a trip, for Robyn's birthday, to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Natural History Museum. We'd been last year, and it was amazing. And just as good again this year!

Hopefully it won't be so long before we post again. The road to Halifax. . .
