Adjusting to life after holidays
So I'm back. And as predicted, Japan was an absolute blast. It never fails to delight as a holiday destination and I think this break was the best yet! I'll share my adventures from Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Tokyo in a lot more detail over the coming weeks, but for now a few thoughts on adjusting ...
Holidays beckon…

Revisiting the Bucket List
I've reviewed my 'Bucket List' now that I've ticked off a few items, and decided to add a few more for good measure.
