Do you remember when I used to blog?
No, neither do I.
I’ve actually received concerned messages over the past month asking if I’m okay. Others have suggested there’s a glitch with my website, seeing as they haven’t been receiving any email updates.
But no – the website is just fine. And yes, so am I.
A couple of months ago I left my job at the Daily Mail, which was both sad (I’d been with them for five years) and exciting (I’d been with them for five years). I had another job lined up but it meant heading back to the UK for two weeks to get a new visa. That visa was the final, sweet result of a months-long battle that us expats have the pleasure of fighting. (I’m not too bitter because honestly, thanks for having me back America.)
Plus, the trip was well-timed. Ryan and I were already planning on heading to the UK in July because my big sister was getting married.


Two weeks of travels and a new brother-in-law later, I came back to New York – and the month since has just raced past. I’ve been figuring out a new schedule as well as how to deal with Midtown every day. (Although – and I can’t believe I’m saying this – but I like working in Midtown! I get off at Central Park every day, and what could be wrong with that?)
This is all a very roundabout way of saying sorry, I’ve been distracted. I’ve had every intention of getting back to blogging but each night, I’ve passed out at about 9.30pm. Who thought living in New York was glamorous, eh?
But I’ve missed blogging and I’ve missed reading my favorite other New York websites, so I’ll be back soon!
So. How are you? What’ve I missed?
Wedding photos by Nabeel.
So happy that you are back! Looking forward to your next adventures! Have a great week, Katie
I was so worry that something happen to you, I’m chuffed to bits that you will be blogging again soon.
Love those wedding photos!! The bus photo is perfect!
Hooray you are back, how I have missed your blogs, but it was lovely seeing you while you were here xx
I swear I was just wondering where you were in terms of blogging! I knew that you were well and alive because I follow you on Instagram, but I thought you had forsaken your blog. Glad to have you back 🙂
Yay, glad you’re back – I was worried you had ended posting about your adventures! I’m excited to get blogging again in a whole new style now my Bobby year is over! (p.s. congrats on the visa!)
Good to see you back blogging; looking forward to seeing the next instalment… X
Yay glad to see you’re back! And the photos are gorgeous, a massive congrats to your sister!!! p.s. awesome that you’re working from midtown now…once you get settled into a routine would love to meet for lunch or after work drink since we’re so close!
Lydia – I have been wondering where you have been. I was thinking about you when I watched the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who. 🙂 I was also thinking of you when Pope Francis was in NYC – wondering if you got caught in the mayhem or just tried to stay away (I am a Pope Francis fan btw).
Congratulations on the new job and on the new addition to your family. Such lovely wedding pictures.
Please keep posting about NYC. I so enjoy your posts. 🙂
