Won't you come back home?

So here I am, back in Perth.
After almost 7 months away it was a shock trying to settle back into normality.
I still don't have a job, car or money but I'm getting there!

I surprised my darling girls at their netball game, had many lunch and coffee catch ups, got to attend the first of the 21st's (the gorgeous Kendra Wakefield) and even managed the annual Bremer Bay road trip.
The sun is out, the coffee is good, the sushi is cheap. Yeah - Perth isn't so bad.

Although it did just start snowing in London and I miss everyone there so much!
Jillybean called me last night and passed the phone around to everyone at her place, so good hearing all of your voices! Can't wait to see you all again some day :)

I can't have imagined a better trip, it was fulfilling in a way I didn't know was possible.
Thank you's to Tristan and Guy for not killing me, Gatt, Jared and Carly for letting me squat at your house for so long, Braiden for making sure I did everything on my list and Jill for being an amazing friend.
Love love love!

Anyway, this being the last post I don't think it should be too long, so I'll wrap up.
Basically I had an incredible time in Europe, I recommend it to anyone, but I am very happy to be back home with my girls. Just need to save up now to go again!
Toodles :)

Kendra's 21st

Anh :)

Bremer Bay Steak!

Mexican night with Kendra

Tis the season.

Happy New Year! Yep, it's 2012. The year we all die.

Oh well, it's been a good run.

Christmas in Kent with the Stanley clan was unbelievable.

I was lucky enough to have Ali extend his trip so he could be here for Christmas and Guy came down as well :)

We woke up at 6:30am (thanks Max!) opened presents, got ready and headed round to Sean's parents house where a champagne breakfast awaited us.

We let that digest, spent a couple of hours at the pub and prepared for meal number two.

I cannot even go into how incredible that meal was. Turkey, goose, all kinds of honey glazed or goose fat covered vegetables, red wine and such full stomachs!

I think everyone had a post food nap and then collapsed on the couch watching christmas specials.

Boxing day was equally as epic. Leftovers galore, games on the kinect and Transformers 3.

Ahhhh I love the family over here! Still missed the ones at home though, I hope you all had a lovely day :)

I made my way back up to London a few days before New Years.

Whitey, Kira, Monique and Guy's friend Jenn flew in during that time so it's been lovely having even more perth company.

New Years Eve we had a huge group of people. All the perth kids, everyone from Stepney (minus Jilly who was still in Austria), Braiden and a couple of Jared and Carly's friends.
We had a few drinks and then took some more down to the river to see the fireworks.
As we learnt later on, we were in the completely wrong spot to watch them but we had fun anyway.

2011 has been unexpectedly incredible. I always knew I would love my time in Europe, but this is so much more than I ever could have expected. Plus I got to finish it off with some truly new and old, btu equally amazing, friends.
