The moment we left home and started driving away, I started bawling. Like a baby. I’ll be 29 in 3 months and there I was. Bawling. It’s been nearly 2 weeks now and it still hasn’t quite sunk in but we’re just about settled in and I’m enjoying the slow pace of the island. Everyone..read more

We always had gigantic jugs of it in the fridge and when we’d have supper, we’d often get hot barley tea. Sometimes, we’d even have rice soaked in barley tea for breakfast and it got to the..read more
This weekend wasn’t too much fun. Right after I filmed this video {like a couple hours later} I came down with a cold.
