  • Weekend around Wales

    21 de marzo, Gales ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    📌 We had both planned the weekend off to go and see the wombats on their home soil and they were down in Cardiff. Chloe made her way to Neath and we headed off to explore Cardiff for the afternoon. We went and tried the renowned Welsh cakes at the Cardiff market where they were making 100s fresh in all different flavours, we had a quick peek at the castle and arcades and then we headed out for a couple of drinks at the breweries before the show.

    📌 The wombats were excellent as usual, and it felt the crowd were really into the older songs which we loved, particularly given out experiences with UK crowds have been a little lacklustre. The show went for a good 2 hours and we left satisfied on a train full of drunks.

    📌 The next day was quite sunny so we headed down to Swansea and then onto a little coastal section known as the mumbles, a little town adjacent to the Gower national park. We had a wander around the pier and enjoyed a a short walk along the rugged coast lined with beautiful yellow flowers. On Sunday we chilled out and enjoyed relaxing, it was another nice weekend together before Chloe headed back to Oxford, and also nice to see more of Wales before finishing up in Neath.

  • Visting Chloe in Oxford

    29–30 mar., Inglaterra ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

    📌 It was quite a weekend of moving around, I finished up in Neath on Friday night and got the train to a Reading Airbnb for a Saturday shift in Andover. After an early rise Saturday morning, and a pretty cruisy 9-5 shift, I headed to Oxford to meet Chloe for dinner. We went out to a delicious burger place, and then enjoyed some beers at an local friendly pub.

    📌 After much to catch up and a few drinks we headed back to Chloe's nursing accommodation where I had to sleep on the ground thanks to her tiny single bed ☺️ A few Guinness and a mattress of clothes made the going to sleep part easy, but there were a few sore shoulders the next morning.

    📌 The next day we had about 6 hours before I had to head off to the coast for my work in Eastbourne. It was a beautiful day and all the effort to come to Oxford was worth it. It was beautiful to wander around the area with no purpose and admiring the buildings and shops. We enjoyed some more lunch together, the sunny weather, some delicious coffee and a lovely day. It was quickly time to get on the bus for the next chapter of work, me in Eastbourne whilst Chloe finished her next 6 weeks in Oxford.
