Boating fun in Bled, Slovenia – highly recommended!
Wow April – you were a lot. I started the month in Bled, which was fantastic, but closely followed by moving house. This is, of course, never a stress-free job no matter how well prepared you are… and let’s just say I was not. You’d think I would have learnt by now – I worked out this is my seventh flat move in less than five years in London! But wait, April had plenty more in store for me – particularly one of the busiest ever fortnights I’ve had at work, combined with running the Blackpool half-marathon. Honestly, I’m quite glad to have April behind me and be on to all the May fun!

April took such a toll that we’re already well into May – in fact I’ve already had my first holiday of the month. Visiting the Cinque Terre was everything I had dreamed of and a LOT more – I’ll never forget those incredible coastline views, beautiful little villages and delicious seafood. Plenty more on Instagram for now and coming to the blog (eventually)!
I now have two whole weeks at home before the next big adventure… it’s time for my third Medsailors experience! Yep I may be addicted. But I just can’t quit that amazing combo of relaxed sailing holiday and party times with friends, so it’s off to Croatia to sail around the islands off Split!
What does the rest of May hold for you?
