2025… you’ve definitely been quite a year.

Plenty of excitement, some moments of pain, and lots of lessons learned about myself, even surviving half of you on the opposite end of the world.

For all of that, I thank you… and can’t wait to see what the future brings.

Happy New Year everyone!

It’s about time I posted …I didn’t want to as it feels abit like a closer of a chapter I’m not ready to close yet

I wrote a blog entry before I left for the uni talking about how broken I felt heading out to nz, suffering a multitude of losses and not really knowing who I was and where life was headed. I was scared, scared to fly, scared to be so far away from my family and scared what I might find.

I could never have imagined how amazing my time in nz would be. People keep asking how it was and I’m not really sure how to sum it up in to words. The people I met healed stuff they hadn’t seen me go through, mended cracks I didn’t know was there and showed me a way of life I never knew possible

I take a bit of each of you back to the uk with me, from my uni friends, to my uwh friends all the way to the orcadians who stay out there ….everyone one of you have a place in my heart

Thank you for making me feel at home from the minute I stepped off the plane to the minute I left, a bit of me stays there for good.

This is my promise that I will be back… it’s not an end of a chapter but a little pause

Love you all endlessly you are the sweetest of all peas 🫛❤️

What to say of the four months I've spent across the world?

Thank you to all the friends I've made❤️
Thank you for the experiences, the trips, the late night pod-talks, the dessert drives, the sushi dates, the dumb dinner conversations, the movie nights, the room parties, the club nights,

Thank you for giving me something I'll carry with me forever ✨️❤️

I'll be back one day New Zealand ✨️

Life update for y’all!

-moving DB stands to manage a new one. DB Murray was such an incredible experience, and I’m spending my last week with such an amazing crew starting today. Off to OG Sandy!

-lots of golf with my boys

-plenty of moments with my fiancée and her buddies that I had the pleasure to be a part of

- lots of moments with my leadership team just cherishing them. Couldn’t be more proud of that group

Some travel, some goodbyes, some tears shed, and lots of moments to look back on and be grateful for. It has felt like the end of a chapter of my life lately, and a new one is being written as we speak. Just overall, grateful 🙏🏻❤️
