Sunday 4 March – Back home to Cornwall

Current location: Penzance
11.11pm, Fast asleep. We were back home in our own beds, just under a month since we left to go to London and Australia. Whew! This morn I got up early and went for a run with Kate and then we played football on the common with the kids, before a midday train (with a lot of snacks in case the train broke down!). Arriving back to Penzance, Dad and the Pyrah kids came to meet us, and brought us fish and chips. Ahhhhh.

Saturday 3 March – Bonus London

Current location: London
11.11am, Working from home. And by home, I mean my sister's house, as we are still here getting some bonus London time thanks to the snow! In the afternoon, we met our friends Rick and Clara and went to Borough Market - why did I not go there more when we lived in London?! It was ace! Then we went to the Tate, had a play on the swings, and then I met Catdog and het boyfriend Tom for a wine on the South Bank. Properly lovely London stuff. In the evening we made burgers with the Reese's Pieces and went to sleep quite early again (thanks jetlag!).

Friday 2 March – Snow joke

Current location: London
11.11am, Getting to my sister's house in Balham. Here we are, back in England! We arrived to freezing temperatures (literally), and news that Cornwall is snowed in, so we can't get back there today, as planned. So instead we went to my sister's house, had a nap, hung out with the kids, and then it started snowing loads! I went for a walk (and a hot choc) with Kate and Ella, then went to meet some friends from Norway who are here for the weekend. Two drinks later and the jet lag got us, so off we went, back to my sister's for some sleep.

Thursday 1 March – Time to fly

Current location: Sydney
11.11am, Lying in the park with Jess, having a few last chats (and some coffee and bircher). Oh my heart hurts living on the other side of the world to this girl (and her daughter!). We had a gorgeous hour or two, and then Jess left and Dave and Val arrived. We went to the Norfolk pub and had a lovely last lunch and drink together, and just enjoyed being together. They really are incredible people! After that, Andy and I headed to the airport...  I don't really know what to say about it all. It's so hard leaving half the people you love in one country as you fly back, but so great to be going back to the other half of the people you love. We are so lucky and so torn, and have had a trip that's been beyond belief. We are so lucky. I keep coming back to that. I will never take this for granted. Thanks Sydney for exceeding all expectations, as you always do!

Wednesday 28 February – Squeezing it in

Current location: Sydney
11.11am, Coming home after a swim at Coogee with my amazing friend Yeezy and her boyfriend Adam. They are bloody great and I love their lifestyle – just look at the road they live on! Before that I went to Run Club and had a really lovely breakfast with my gorgeous F45 friends. I will miss them so much! I managed to squeeze in a quick salad lunch with Maddie, Tracy and Sha in the park and then headed to Wynyard to meet lovely Kara for a coffee and a sausage roll! Then I had to stop eating because I knew in the evening we were going for dinner with Sha and Tristan, but I didn't know where – and we went to Ester. Oh my goodness. It was so fancy and I loved the food; we shared loads of things, and it was such a special evening. I adore those two tooooo much.

Tuesday 27 February – Turning on the charm

Current location: Sydney
11.11am, Having coffee with my friend Lucy. She is about to go into hospital for her second ACL surgery so we were having a chat about how she feels about it all (not great, but pretty focused and determined). In the morn I went to my physio, who has suggested I don't get the surgery yet (I found out I probably need ACL surgery on my other knee! Gutted). Anyway, knees aside, it was a lovey morning and then the extravaganza of Bree Davies planning a lunch began. She took me somewhere secret – and as we pulled up outside Icebergs in Bondi, I knew I was in for a treat. It was an incredibly sunny, blue and gorgeous day, and we'd dressed up and we were ready to be ladies who lunch. I don't even know how to describe the amazingness that was out four-hour lunch; we had the 7-course tasting menu and drank some amazing wine, and chatted properly about everything under the sun. It was soooo so so special to have this time with Bree, she has been such a brilliant friend and I am utterly grateful she's my sister-in-law! We left Icebergs four hours later quite sozzled but super happy, and then went back to Sha's for Bookwurmz. So many amazing women, discussing a book called The Power (I have too many thoughts on it to write here); today was truly unforgettable.
