Final Weekend with Lucy's Family before I depart....

 On the final day(s) of my trip to America,


Lucy and her family took me out to a nice restaurant - Guapo's Bethesda Restaurant downtown near where they live in Washington DC to celebrate our first official open day at Mount Clare, Lucy's husband Alan who came home from Hong Kong and myself on returning back home to Scotland!

Then we went home afterwards to work on Molly and Percy's wedding invitations to get them ready to be stamped with wax seal stamp! Their wedding invitation designs are absolutely gorgeous!



Earlier that day, Lucy took me downtown in Washington DC to visit the National Archives Museum before I departed as she wants me to cherish the memories we made together! I am so glad that I went into this museum because I literally watched the National Treasure featuring Nicolas Cage a few weeks ago!




Thank you to The Lo Re family - you guys have been the best! Hopefully, see you next year again!

Travelling DaY

On 11th August, I left the UK for the biggest trip of my life to the USA - this is a huge step in my life because this time I am travelling on my own for two and half months. I know that I had to do this by myself someday and it's here! I arrived at Edinburgh Airport (EDI) at 10:30am, checked my suitcase and said 'See you later' to my amazing parents who made me cry at the airport! Thanks, Mum! (Love you!)😂 I am going to be missing my family so much including my wee baby cocker spaniel! 💕 I won't be returning home till the end of October. Whilst I was waiting at the airport, there were many changes about what was happening with the flight and gate. My flight was due at 12:30pm but with all the delays and gate changes, it was changed to 15:40pm but it came earlier than expected - so I stayed nearby where United Airlines originally boarded so that I didn't miss the flight. I was getting a little bit nervous, so there was this lovely lady who helped me to make sure t...

Made it back home!

Made It Home!!! I am officially back home with my family, all unpacked - it was like the living room exploded with all of my things. But wanna laugh... my suitcase was full of books instead of bringing clothes home! I was so emotional when I got home as I wanted to be home after a couple of days of being at multiple airports. So lovely to be back in my own bed too! Even had a quiet, shy reaction from my dog as she wasn't sure who I was until I spoke to her again!

Day 5: Finally Settled In!

Had my first night sleeping in my permanent apartment - the apartment is very nice, cosy and clean. First-night sleeping was a little bit scary as I'd come out of a home where I usually stay with someone - This time I was so scared because I thought something would happen when I was sleeping but it was okay apart from getting freighted by a siren of some vehicle. I will keep you all posted on how I am doing 👍😊 Huge thank you to Krista and her friend Martin for helping me settle in with all of my bags and food shopping (They call it groceries in America) as I would have not done this without you! 😊 When we stopped by the apartment I could not believe that I have got the most beautiful cathedral right across from me on the corner. And I was told that there is the Washington Monument right around the corner from my street again which is known as the centrepiece of Mount Vernon! (Pictures coming soon). Krista and Martin had to leave, both were working and kindly had a break to hel...
