Moving to New York City, The First Few Days & Goodbye To This Blog …

So we did it … we finally moved to New York City … its something Perry and I had been wanting to do for a long time and never thought it would be possible but somehow we seem to have managed it … and on the 28th November 2016 Perry, myself and our two fluffy babies started our journey from Bahrain to New York City … It was a long few days getting here and getting settled but things are finally starting to calm down a little bit now that we have been here a few days … it still all feels quite surreal but I did also Vlog the whole experience from our last week in Bahrain to the first few days here in NYC … so I’ll include those video’s below here for you incase you happen to be interested in watching … otherwise there are all the usual photos and descriptions below …

Last Few Days in Bahrain …

Hey so here is a little update from our last few days in Bahrain … it was a stressful and eventful time but all in all we are happy for it to finally be over!

A Few Days In Helsinki Finland …

Back in the summer Perry and I had planned a few days where we had wanted to go away and relax for a bit while also seeing somewhere new to us … we ended up deciding to go to Helsinki, Finland … anyway I got really behind on my blog posts and never got round to posting this after we got back … so I’m here now to share this post with you all along with a video vlog I did of our trip …

Spring in Rome … A Family Holiday!

Back in March this year I had the opportunity to go visit Rome with my family for a few days … we had a lovely long weekend of amazing weather and lots of fun sight seeing … including some yarny purchases for me along the way … I’ve picked a few pictures to share with you all here today … I had intended on posting this ages ago but time got away with me … so I’ll let the photos do the talking this time …

Curious Handmade Country House Retreat in Cumbria … My First Knitting Retreat!

This is a long overdue post … I attended a lovely knitting retreat back in March of this year up in Cumbria … it was a lovely few days spent with fellow knitters and crafters in the countryside … where all we did was relax and knit and occasionally go for a walk in the surrounding area … anyway here are a few photos from the few days we spent there …

Weekly Roundup … This seems to have become a monthly thing!

Hey everyone … so things have gotten a bit mental around here and I realised I haven’t updated this blog in over a month now … anyway so here is a quick recap of what we’ve been up to the last few weeks …

Weekly Roundups – Another Long Gap In Posts!

Here we go again after several weeks of missed posts … I just feel like there is generally so much going on in our lives at the moment that remembering to post a weekly round up each week is usually the first thing that falls off my list of priorities … anyway I’m back now with another hopefully quick roundup … photos are all from my Instagram feed and frankly that is the best place to keep up to date with what we are up to at the moment (you can find me on there as @knittingexpat) …
