Iโm back! Dwiโn รดl! ๐ฉท
Back from an EPIC holiday with the BEST people I could wish to holiday with ๐ฅน
(Swipe to the end to see the cutest picture ever ๐ญ)
How are we all?? Can you believe itโs September?!
Sun hats off, planning hats back on now - and I am with you every step of the way.
Iโm easing myself back into reality slowly but surely and catching up over the next few days. If youโre waiting to hear from me or need me urgently, give me a nudge - Iโm here! ๐ฉท
What a holiday - and what a gang! ๐
Itโs a little bit ridiculous that this was my first ever proper holiday with my best friend of 25 years, but boy did we make up for it!! I am still on cloud 9 after spending such quality time with my husband and children also, so thankful ๐๐ป
I swam in the sea, snorkelled with fish (this, for me, was brave!!), eat delicious food, climbed a silly amount of stairs, rode a donkey (yep), laughed loads - and somehow managed to read 3 books.
Hereโs where we all wentโฆ
Athens > Rhodes > Kusadasi > Ephesus > Mykonos > Thessaloniki > Santorini > Vounaria in the Peloponnese.
Just perfect.
Wellโฆ mostly ๐ซฃ๐
I sprained my ankle on day 2, my daughter broke her finger on day 6, and my son found all the changes of being away incredibly challenging. But we coped, adapted and carried on. ๐ช๐ป
My son took that first photo - moving around is very important to him, so we politely excused ourselves and had a little photo shoot by the harbour while waiting for our food one evening ๐๐ฅฐ
Apart from helping my daughter immediately after the accident and in the medical unit, we didnโt help her with a single thing. Getting dressed, showering, eating, packing, unpackingโฆ nothing. Sheโs always been independent, but wowzers. What an absolute star. ๐ซ๐ซถ๐ป
We couldnโt be prouder parents.
A DIOLCH Heledd, Elgan aโr fechan am wylie hollol anhygoel. Eto plis!! ๐ญ๐ฅฐ๐ฌ๐ท
If you havenโt yet, I would highly recommend getting yourself on a cruise! ๐ณ๏ธ Happy to share tips - just shout!
And for me and my tribe nextโฆ back to school on Thursday, a wedding next week, and back to routine, just one day at a time.
Oh, and Iโve got something VERY exciting to share with you soonโฆ ๐ฐ๐
