Goodbye....

So, I'm on the Steamship for the last time this summer. En route to Hyannis -> Boston -> NY. I have kind of neglected this blog for the last while as I've been crazy busy working but I thought I would write as I leave the island. 

Like I said, I've been working a lot so have spent the last while just rushing around and not taking any notice of the place. Living somewhere for three months, you almost forget how amazing it looked the day you first stepped off the boat. The other night, I got ice cream and sat on the pier in me and Bren's spot and just chilled out and took in my surroundings. I had forgotten how beautiful everything was and under the moonlight that night with a storm brewing it looked amazingly calm. That was the first time in weeks I appreciated Nantucket properly. 

I had been counting down the days til I leave up until this week, when suddenly I felt like I wasn't really looking forward to leaving at all. I'm excited to go home to my nice house, meet my new nephew and see my family and friends and boyfriend and dogs but I'm sad to leave such an amazing place, a job I like and the people I've met there. I was a lot more emotional saying goodbye than I expected to be and I know I'll miss it. People keep asking if I will be back and I just don't know. It's not my plan right now, but who knows where I'll be this time next year or the year after that? I suppose I'll see how things pan out. I will definitely return to Nantucket but I don't know when...

Heading to NY this evening. Gonna be amazing. I'll add photos when I get a chance...Lx

New house etc...

Its been a while since I've updated anything here, so I thought I'd better fill you all in...

Things didn't work out at our accommodation. Basically, we were not comfortable there at all and had to get out of there pronto. My rent was up and I didn't want to commit to any more time there. Was pretty much homeless there for a while but I had some time off work and Bren was here, so we went off island for an amazing trip to Hyannis and Provincetown. We stayed in the most amazing inn up in Provincetown. The room was soo nice, the staff so friendly and helpful and we had a lovely time. Here's some pics :)

We got tattoos! This is Bren's one of a Swallow :)

And mine of the Coolaboola logo :)

Our amazing room in Provincetown...

When we got back to Nantucket, we were pretty much homeless. But, the girls were able to get a discount at the hotel they work with so on our extremely homeless night, we stayed at one of the nicest little inns on Nantucket, four of us in one bed (lucky Bren!), sleeping across the bed. Hehe! Needless to say, jokes were made about 'there was four in the bed and the little one said roll over...' No prizes for guessing who got to be the 'little one'. 

Next day, we viewed some places, and finally sorted out something with the employee housing of where the girls work. So, now we've moved in! We each have our own room and we share a living room, kitchenette and bathroom (with TWO toilets and TWO sinks in it! haha) with two American girls who live here as well. It's close to town, comfortable and we're happy here so all worked out well in the end.

Ended up having an amazing time while Bren was here. Here's some photo's he took of me playing at Jetties one of the nights...

Its not always this empty, I promise...ha!
