Croatia has been on my holiday wishlist for a long time and I don’t remember exactly what it was that first sparked my interest, but I can thank the location scouts for Game of Thrones for helping me convince Paul that it was the place that we should go for our honeymoon. After initially planning … Continue reading Honeymooning in Croatia – part 1
Hello, life
Oof, long time no see. I'm writing posts but not finishing them, leaving them languishing in the drafts folder until they gather digital dust and I can't remember what the point of them was... Since I last posted, I've been busy! My least favourite state, but this is a busy period of life. We managed … Continue reading Hello, life
On marriage, with 11 days to go
It is 11 days until my wedding day. After 28 years, I will cease to be an Adamson, and become a Wraight.

The future is looking rather scary and shaky, but as mother said over … Continue reading So long, 2016
Oh, October
Time just keeps on keeping on, doesn't it? September was 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' and went by in a whirl of work, work, running, and a bit more work. It's a busy time, and alongside Paul starting college and picking up as many dj (and other) jobs he can, we've not been doing a massive amount other than, … Continue reading Oh, October
