I first met Pritesh @luvfoodluvdrink and Tareena @TareenaMakeUp back in 2015 when they came to Sevilla. So I was excited when Pritesh got in touch last week to say they would be coming back, this time with their daughter Skye. They were also travelling with Tareena’s sister, her husband and baby daughter, so it was a real family affair.

After setting them up with a few “family friendly” places to eat over the weekend we finally got a chance to meet up for a quick drink during their last lunch in town before catching their flight home. Good times.  🙂

But when I wasn’t with friends or otherwise occupied I felt quite stressed and anxious most of the time. In fact, this anxiety started about a week before I left, since I am actually terrified of flying. I was lucky that Peter agreed to stay over while I was gone to take care of the cats, as that was one less thing to worry about. But still, I was very nervous about my trip to London, even before I got there.
