Gosh it’s been a busy week! Super jet lagged right now: I flew back UK yesterday. But I’m super looking forward to spending a week with the family. 😊
I actually came back to surprise my brother for his 30th birthday 🥳 And the Queen’s Jubilee (of course…)
Today, we’re having a little BBQ. It wouldn’t be a proper British BBQ without the looming threat of rain, constantly.
Ok I've got to run before my mum kills me. About to dig in but had to pull this together for you all!
