Dare we? After the shit show that was 2020, is it wise of anyone to make any goals or resolutions for the twelve months that lay before us? Probably not. And yet, here we are. But we’re all going to walk into this year really slowly, okay? Be quiet. Don’t make any sudden movements. Don’t touch anything. Got it? Okay, let’s go. Inversions. Last January, I fell in…

Winter from my kitchen window ๐Ÿ˜ we've had quite Winter from my kitchen window ๐Ÿ˜ we've had quite the covering over the past couple of days and we're due a full week of it next week. I'm finally getting the German winter I wanted!

Kind of thankful for all this time off as Zac and Kind of thankful for all this time off as Zac and I have managed to really explore the local area ready for eventual visitors ๐Ÿ™

The Geo Park Ries, a massive meteor crater, is for sure one of our favourite places to explore.

We took a long stroll around this decommissioned quarry and learned that the astronauts from the Apollo 14 Mission actually came here to learn about the kinds of rocks they would have to bring back from the moon!

I also spent a lot of time saying "I like that boulder, that is a nice boulder" and giggling at myself. For balance.

Merry Christmas from us to you! ๐ŸŽ„ I stayed off Merry Christmas from us to you! ๐ŸŽ„

I stayed off socials over the last few days in order to spend some proper quality time with my boyfriend. He works away from home during the week so it's nice to have a long period of time off together! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas, weird and unusual as they all were this year. We keep moving forward with hope โœŒ๏ธ

This Christmas looks different for all of us. No This Christmas looks different for all of us. 

No markets, no road trips to see family and friends, no arguments over which parent gets to see us on Christmas day, no gift exchanges, no glittery parties where someone inevitably drinks all the free wine and makes a fool of themselves (me. I'm that person.), no big bear hugs and kisses and one too many mince pies or glasses of wine (again. That's me.). 

But today I've been thinking. Why is it we save all of this love and festive cheer for just one time of year? 

The next time that I'm able to safely get across the channel, it will feel like Christmas. Because there will be a big road trip, our families will all want to be the first to see us (I hope!), there will be gifts galore, there will be the best nights out I've ever had and I will absolutely drink too much cheap wine, and most importantly there will be the biggest, tightest, most wonderful bear hugs and kisses any of us have ever experienced. 

There will be love. 

There will be cheer. 

It will be exactly like Christmas, even if it's June.
