A boring blog

We spent the summer touring Australia and Hong Kong. Five weeks, ten flights, eleven hotels/apartments and an awful lot of driving. You'd think I'd have a lot to say about all that - and you'd be right. The trouble is, I don't seem to have as much time as I do things to say. What have I managed to do so far, in the nearly-two months since coming back? Post one hotel review and video and add a few photos to some older reviews. Epic fail. What makes it worse is that I'm off again tomorrow to Tenerife, and I haven't even begun to catch up on the last holiday. Oh, and there was a weekend in the Cotswolds in there somewhere that hasn't even made a mention yet. We have a weekend in Bruges planned in December, and I wonder if I'll have even finished my Oz hotel reviews by then. Ironically, when I started the blog, I was worried I wouldn't have enough to write about. I mean, I know I go on holiday a lot, but I'm hardly an expert - what would I fill the pages with? But it's turned out that I can't even keep up with the holidays I do have! The trouble is, there are so many funny stories from each holiday, but by the time I get home, I've forgotten about them. And much as I enjoy writing, I don't want to spend my time on holiday blogging, as I'm missing out on essential holiday time! I also think it's important to post reviews on Trip Advisor (and here), as I use it so much myself when I'm planning a trip - plus I like to balance the unreasonably negative reviews (and there's yet another blog subject). But that's yet another thing I don't seem to be able to manage. Life just always seems so busy - and it feels hard to justify blogging when I should be working or doing jobs around the house. If only I could be paid for this! The obvious answer, of course, is to stop going on holiday so much - just think of all that extra time I could spend updating my blog! And I'd be sure to have caught up before I go away again. It kind of defeats the object of course...

Anyway, apologies for this nothing-y blog - nothing funny, nothing informative. Just a post for the sake of updating my blog really. Sorry - I promise I will be better next time. And in the meantime, just to make it almost worth reading, here's a pretty photo from my recent trip to the Cotswolds...
