Wanderlust “a strong desire to travel.” This week I can absolutely relate to David W’ and the surreal sensation of standing on the opposite side of the world to your usual abode.

In Mourning This Morning
The weekend is well and truly over and so too the queue of scheduled posts; the pressure is on! Thought I’d share with you just how I’m feeling this week.
