Going Back?

I have been back in New Zealand for the last few months. It was hard coming back to such a small town so far away from the rest of the world. It was wonderful to catch up with my friends but something still didn't feel "right". I changed so much over my 7 months in Europe, it was an incredibly odd feeling coming back to the same old people and places.

 

There was plenty to keep me busy returning home. My very pregnant horse had her foal, a beautiful filly.

She is exactly what I wanted and then some, I am absolutely thrilled. Pippa is a super mother and Clover is just as lovely as her mum.

The travel bug still itched though. Last week I saw a once-in-a-lifetime job advertised in the UK so I figured I'd apply. A few days later the advertiser offered me the position. I am so incredibly excited at the prospect of returning to Europe. I won't say too much so as not to jinx it, but the job involves horses and travel, my two favourite things!

I applied for a Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme Visa. I found this blog post incredibly helpful in the application process. I had my biometrics appointment today and will hear back in the New Year if the Visa has been approved. The lady who did the biometrics said there was no reason I shouldn't be approved. All going well I am UK bound February 1st. Watch this space!
