A Little Update...

I haven't blogged so much over the last few weeks. Usually, I try to post at least once a week, but recently I've been busy with work, and quite a lot has been going on in life in general. Because of this, I haven't left my village in two weeks, and therefore have no travels to blog about. But I do have a few pieces of news to report, so I've decided to write a quick update post today.

The first news is that I should have been in France this week. My mum and I had planned a trip out there, and I expected to be spending this weekend blogging about visiting Mediterranean cities such as Cannes, Menton, and maybe Nice and Monaco. But unfortunately, my mum got ill shortly before we were due to go, and we had no choice but to cancel the trip. She's feeling a bit better this week, so we decided to have a little excursion yesterday to the market town of Marlborough to visit an old-fashioned tearoom there. But then my dad got ill as well, so we couldn't go on that trip either.

So all in all, it would have been a very disappointing week, if it wasn't for the fact that this week I got the best news I've had in months... On Wednesday the Chilean government announced that they will be reopening their borders on the 1st October, meaning that I should be able to go there, start my job, and move in with Claudio within the next couple of months! ❤

Obviously, what with everything that's happened over the last year or so, I'm still scared that the situation will change either in Chile or the UK, and we'll be left disappointed yet again. But I've got my fingers crossed that everything will finally come together this time. 

The final news I have is that I'll be undergoing laser vision correction next month, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Because of this (and because of all of the things I need to organise before moving abroad!), I may not be travelling or blogging so much over the coming weeks. But I should have time for a couple more local days out with my parents, and of course I'll be in London twice for joint visa business and sightseeing trips! And then from around November onwards, this blog is going to get a lot more exciting... 😄

That's all the news I have for now, but finally, as it's the National Day in Chile today, I just want to sign off by wishing feliz dieciocho to everyone celebrating!
