A{meri}ca: Hola - it's been a while

Yep, I am alive.
Sorry been pretty MIA for the past 6 weeks on the blog - been so busy! It has flown by.

My, my it's good to be back. Chapel Hill feels like a second home. Or third, not sure how many I'm on now, 4th including the Boardman residence.

Aside from that.... So what's new in Chapel Hill?
Well, I must start with a weather update, especially for those Northerners. It has been hot, cold, snowing, freezing... all within a day of each other. We have had tornado warnings
There was the Duke Vs UNC basketball match which was crazy. It had to be postponed a week because of the snow, which just increased the anticipation for the big match. To give you an idea of the rivalry, Duke had won 42 games and UNC, 43. Anyway - I didn't have tickets to the actual game so I went to a bar to watch it, and when we won (oh hell yeah), we took Franklin Street by storm. I've never been so into a game, even if I was calling the 'baskets', 'goals' and the 'game' a 'match'... really need to get in there with the technical chat. It was mad. Right in the thick of it, there were people jumping over fires, chanting, people standing on lamp posts - you name it. Here are some pictures to give you the idea...

Tri Delt wise, we had a pancake dinner to raise money for charity- got ma flippin' on in the kitchen, Philly Stew taught me the art well, not gonna lie. #pro

People and weather: I've come to understand how they are linked. Of course people are not going to be friendly in the rain!!!!! Whyyyy would I stand in the sleet holding the door open for a rando behind me in England? I'm just not going to. Whereas here, of course, you do. In fact you probably go out of your way to open it, even if you aren't going in the same direction. Why? - because sun makes you happy. And in England/Scotland we are seriously Vitamin D deficient.
Granny, I know I said I will definitely come back, and I will, but I might have to emigrate later in life.

What's next on the cards? Saturday- much anticipated Spring Break trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic... followed by Formal Cocktail the weekend after... followed by Ultra music festival the weekend after that. March is going to be a mad one. Sophie Stew and Gareth are coming out to Miami as well which I am sure will prove a lethal combination to join for Ultra.
Moves to make, plans to execute.

And sorry to disappoint y'all that I don't have a Southern American drawl, maybe by June....

Love to all back home, will try and update more often! xxxx

and some more random snaps .......
