Six weeks have went by without a blog, which may suggest that nothing of note has taken place. This would be understandable as it has been cold and wet, and there's been loads of work piling up on the desk. However, the reality of it is that within this six weeks I've travelled further than ever before! The trip to California was a resounding success. I went there with an open mind and little in the way of expectation, and returned after a quick week happier than ever. I was followed in my tracks back to Scotland a few days later by Dani, and since then we've done all sorts of stuff. I'm not one for writing a list of dinners had and pints consumed, however we did go to Dublin last week. It was 6.20 Euros for a Bulmers, which comes in at around £6.00, so we didn't bother getting too inebriated. For me, it takes over from Reykjavik in the dearest pint award!
This past month has opened my eyes to all sorts of things. Firstly, the price of beer in Scotland isn't that bad (but it is creeping up). Secondly, if you go places with a smiley face and a willingness to listen and integrate, you'll be welcomed. Lastly, weather isn't everything; it doesn't matter where you are in the world or how good or bad something may be, as long as you have someone with you to share those experiences with!
