well welsh.

So an exciting weekend was had. Just got back from Cardiff, Wales last night. Lou and I just went for the weekend. It was a very good trip!

Cardiff was beautiful and much quieter than London. Even today I've found myself getting frustrated with the swarms of people - mostly because the streets were empty in Cardiff! The weather was lovely, which is shocking because Wales is supposed to be much more rainy than London. (So that's two places I've gone - Edinburgh and Cardiff - and had sunshine where there was supposed to be rain!). The nightlife was great and we just went around the Bay on Saturday.

It was nice to get away from London for a bit.

Not sure at the moment if Greece is going to happen or not - more than likely getting postponed. But Prague is still happening in October.

Work is busy as ever - this morning just flew by! I'm hoping to book my flight back to Canada soon, so stay tuned for confirmed dates.

For now, I leave you with a photo of me at Mermaid Quay in Cardiff.

Love and miss you all. x

Wow! It's been a very long time since my last post. I just keep forgetting. I know I don't post as frequently as I used to but if anything this makes each post a little more interesting as I have much more to say!

So since we last spoke, I've been very busy! I've started my new job at work which has been keeping me busy! I'm loving every minute of it though. I'm now working as an assistant buyer for the broadcast team. Basically, clients (ex. Kellogg's) decide to spend a certain amount of money of TV advertising. I then get this budget which is allocated to different stations. Throughout the month, I basically have to monitor how this money is being spent and make sure that it's hitting all of the quality parameters in place. (This was the easiest possible way of explaining!). It's more complicated than that, but I do really love it. I was thrown in the deep end at the beginning of July with my own 2 campaigns. At the moment, I'm buying 2 Kellogg's campaigns as well as 3 Lego campaigns. All in all, it's going really well and I'm quite pleased.

Jen was also here for the duration of July. Well, not in London the whole time, but in the UK nonetheless. She stayed in London for a week and we just hung out which was really nice. It was different having a familiar face here! She then trekked off to Scotland where I met her for a weekend in Edinburgh. It was beautiful. It really is a lovely city and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be continuing my discovery of the UK this weekend as Lou and I head off to Cardiff on Friday.

We also had a nice little Broadcast Sports Day a few weeks back which was amazing. One of the stations took us out for a day of random sports (not serious sports, think things like Sack Races and such). All in all had a wicked time. Everyone I work with is amazing and we always have a good time when we all go out.

Speaking of, I'm heading to another station event tomorrow. It's called Media's Next Top Model. Basically, the saleshouse that deals with America's Next Top Model puts on a runway show with different people from agencies across London. One of my close friends is Carat's rep. But I somehow managed to score an invite so myself and a few work friends will be heading to that tomorrow night!

Everything is going well here. I miss you all and am currently trying to sort out when I'll be home at Christmas. Yes, you read that right. I will be coming home for Christmas this year! So excited!

Love you all, miss you more. Take care.
