13th August >>> Day 57 and onwards. So because I completely failed at keeping my blog up-to-date for the rest of the time I was in Seville I figured I will do a generic run through of the high-lights and finish off with my last week when we moved from the village back to the city flat. Once I got back from Italy, things took a turn and I started to spend a lot more time out in the evenings with my Spanish friends and the kids started to get more and mo...

Sunday 10th August; Day 55! Last day in Italy!!! As I am writing this, on the 17th of September, however haha I arrived in Malaga today and am currently waiting for Irena who has just flown in from Italy :) can't wait to spend the next few days with her.

No alarm to wake up ready for the kids, and no responsibilities at all - something I've grown accustomed to since Au Pairing but now felt incredible to forget for a few days. I think I woke up at 12noon lol and h...

Wednesday 6th August;; Day 51 ITALY! Descending into Bergamo Airport on Wednesday morning was a pretty good feeling! And even though I knew my friend Mattia would be there at the airport to pick me up, I really didn't know what I was in for as I hadn't planned anything.
