Batteries running low

Two years, six months and 6 days (8 by the time I’m back) ago I left my safety net I had built up in New Zealand and headed over to the UK to start a new adventure in life.

And boy what an adventure…so many cities visited, so many people met. I have no regrets in my decision to leave, it was exactly what I needed. However, it hasn’t always been easy. There have been quite a few moments where being so far away from my family has been hard; only being able to share in grief, joy, concern and celebrations from the big screen rather than the sidelines.

However, for a month, I’m off the bench and back in the starting line up and I’m super excited. Two of the biggest changes since I was last home, is the birth of my youngest nephew and the passing of my gran. It will be different being back after so long, but even an energiser bunny eventually runs out of juice and I can’t think of a better place to recharge than New Zealand.

But don’t worry England, I will be back in January…
