Two months in, I can hardly believe it! I’ve enjoyed relaxing and exploring the local area, alongside weekend breaks with Chris, but I’m now realising I need to start planning the daytrips and overnight trips to the places I hoped to see during my time here. I’ll be doing a lot of planning later this…
It’s a beautiful morning here today! Mum asked me on the phone yesterday if it was getting noticeably warmer now than when I first arrived and I said ’no, not really, it just doesn’t chill off so quickly in the late afternoon’ – well I regretted saying that by the time I met Chris for…
Good Morning/Afternoon all! I’ve had a quiet week this week due for two reasons. Firstly, it’s been quite cool and drizzly for most of the week, and secondly, I turned my ankle over last weekend and seeing as I bruise like a peach, I’ve been letting that rest and heal. Monday was warm and sunny…
I’ve now been in Los Angeles for over a month! It feels like it’s been both forever and no time at all. Our apartment feels like a home away from home, I’m working on my sun tan and I’ve got my head around how US service charge works. I’ve also increased my average step count…

Good Morning from LA! I write to you today from a corner of Chris’s office before we head to the airport to pick up our lovely friend Rosa who’s in the city for the next week. We took our first road trip! Last weekend we headed east to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park.…
Hello, hello lovely people! Quite a long post today, I might opt for more frequent, shorter updates in future but I’m still getting the hang of this. Anyway, this is what I’ve been up to this week: Weekend We had a relaxing first weekend together. On Saturday we went to IHOP for breakfast! As expected,…
I’m starting to settle in to the city. Still struggling a little bit with jet lag – I usually wake quite early and then fall asleep on the sofa next to Chris by about 10pm. It will take a while to adjust I’m sure. I’ve covered quite a lot of ground this week, exploring the…
After a year of planning and preparation, I finally flew out to Los Angeles to visit Chris on 2nd February! I was up at 5.00am to finish the last bits of packing and get my 29kg suitcase down 2 flights of stairs in time for a 6.00am taxi, but everything went smoothly, arriving at Heathrow…
