As I say, I write from fair Verona, the first blog from the new set of travels that we are making along our path towards home. We have four days left, only Venezia to go and then we find ourselves back in the United Kingdom to celebrate Christmas with my darling parentals who are joining us all the way up from the land down under.
In typical Kit fashion, the trip has not been without its hiccups...thanks again to food poisoning! This time I actually thought that I was dying and was considering having JJ take me to a lawyer to write up a will...just in case. It was horrendous! You do not need the gory details but you all have imaginations...so use them...
Um....I am pathetic, I actually wrote the above when I was in fair Verona, but now it is the end of Christmas day and I am sitting on the couch after having just sent two very jet-lagged parents to bed. As many of you are now aware...I am engaged to the darling Jono Carstairs (which means that I am soon to be Mrs Kathryn (aka Kit) Carstairs...KC...I rather like the sound of this. I have tried this name out LOTS since the proposal and had many sleepless nights planning the wedding in my head!). It was the most magical day of my life and must for a moment delve into the world of soppy and say that I am more in love with my man than ever. Nuff said, you all know that I am weak at the knees when it comes to him so you will all be able to imagine that I am living in la-la land now and walking around with a smile permantly plastered to my face. I think JJ is considering proposing more often...I am being that nice to him! Haha!
This blog was supposed to be about Italia but it has been a little overshadowed by the fact that I just accepted to stop being an individual solely living for me and be one half of a whole! A strange but very comforting feeling.
Italy, for the third time, was awesome...actually...you know what? I cannot be arsed to write about Italy except to say that we had a swell three weeks rollicking around in our little hire car that I named Fifi (I thought that it was a Fiat...but it was actually a citron...whoops!), being guided by Tom (the GPS...TomTom). We had some pretty awesome days and nights and caught up with many of my old friends from my past travels there. It was colder there than I have ever experienced but it was wonderful to see Venice totally covered in snow and ice. Unfortunately though the magical snow and ice caused us a little spot of bother when it came to returning to the UK...it took us 17 hours to get back (it should have been a 3 hour journey...max!). Insane.
Anyway, I am nodding off from too much food and wine and excitement from seeing my parents, so I will leave you. Sorry for being really shit and not really updating you on anything...but there is so much else going on that I am finding it hard to concentrate!
Merry Christmas and much love to all you wonderful people!
Love Kit
