I know I haven't been blogging for a while but don't worry I've not vanished...

Here I am in beautiful Warwick.
Honestly though I’ve been back in Britain for a good few weeks now so
what have I actually been up to? Sharing is
caring so I’ll keep adding to the bullet points...
- A trip to UCL, the university that my twin attends, was long overdue. Apart from the prison-esque accommodation the grounds were great. A great location too, not far from the British Museum which I visited for the first time with a friend. A must see.
- A lovely home-made pesto with spaghetti for all the sisters was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. At home a couple of days spent with my brother ensured I’d caught up not only on my family time but my cooking too.
- A trip to Warwick University for a long weekend didn’t disappoint. Nice to spend time with my best friend, enjoy the beautiful countryside in the sunshine, go to an outstanding Noah and the Whale gig and bake for the fun of it. An all-hours snapshot of Uni life.
- A sleepover at a friends’ was full of laughter and chatter.
- Celebrating my twins’ end of exams in London was followed by an afternoon of football at Vicarage Road which I will never forget. Absolutely phenomenal. The result? Watford are going to Wembley with a shot at the Premier League! A lovely affordable South Indian lunch was had with all the siblings in Wembley before the big match but for Watford it wasn't to be.
- It was great to have a cafe catch up with a youth leader and friend. Followed by another cafe coffee catch up with a different friend.
- A successful application for a job as a waitress with a London agency also meant a good number of shifts. I even got to serve at FC Dortmund's Champions League after-party underneath the dinosaur at the Natural History Museum- not bad, shame they lost!
In truth most of my days have actually been spent in my room. I've found and booked campsite
spots, budgeted, done what seemed like endless amounts of route planning and organised the 3-week itinerary. Why I hear you ask? The Ronde van
Nederland is my answer. A just over 1300km cycle tour around the Netherlands is what I've been busy with. With everything finally sorted all that needs to be done now is...well... it.
