An action-packed week!

Welcome to this week's action-packed vlog!

Overall, it's been an eventful week filled with lots of laughter and plenty of tears. I've had moments of utter exhaustion and moments of pure joy!

Sigh left for Alaska, and chaos ensued as we prepared for Coco’s Leaver’s dinner and our impending trip to the States! Once again it was a whirlwind case of Mum-juggling with B&B turnovers, batches of redcurrant jelly and freshly prepared pavlovas and pies.

Em helped me forage garden flowers to save a trip to the florist, and I decorated a horse and carriage to surprise the girls with for their transport to the dinner.

The next day was a beautiful blur of the incredible church service, emotional speeches (do watch to hear a little sneak peek of my speech!), and the leaver's party. Sunday thankfully brought some much-needed relaxation at a friend’s summer garden party, riding horses and enjoying the day. Exhausted but happy, I also managed to have a lovely catch-up with my husband in Alaska over WhatsApp.

Finally, the day arrived to start our holiday. The journey hasn't been without its hiccups, such as a missing driver's license, however, we reached our first Airbnb in San Diego! I am just thrilled to be here, San Diego is so beautiful, with stunning views and so many experiences to be had! We’re here for a week so lots of surfing, time together and utter relaxation await, these batteries need recharging!

Stay tuned for more vlogs as we continue on our American escapades. Do you have any recommendations or unmissable experiences for San Diego?! We’d love to hear them!

Love, Charlie x
