Two Thousand Twelve

Can you believe it… 2013 is just a day away. It brings about reminiscing the year that was 2012, and what a great year it was. One of the best. For us, there were many personal milestones (travelling the world) and professional ones (taking the next steps in our careers back home) with lots of very special moments in between. We’re so very grateful for all that the Universe has given us this year and the promises that 2013 brings. Here are our highlights of 2012:

{Hanging out with good mates before they jump on a plane back to Australia.}

{Spending our second wedding anniversary in Paris, one of the most romantic cities in the world. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate it.}

{Celebrating others’ milestones and friendships – there were plenty during 2012, including Derrin and Mariska’s wedding.}

{Our London home was so special to us during 2012 as we tried to soak up as much as we could of the city and our suburb during the last six months of the year.}

{Being one of the first to run in the London Olympic Stadium.}

{The Great London Egg Hunt and the interesting trips into streets and suburbs we hadn’t even stepped foot in.}

{Our trip to Holland in the Spring. We will never forget the ‘amazingness’ that is the tulip fields of the country. Just stunning.}

{Our trip to Banstead Woods. The first time we heard of the bluebells that pop up in these woods, we couldn’t resist making the trip to take a look for ourselves. In the shade of the dense foliage, the bluebells make for a pretty sight.}

{Experiencing a night at the famous nightclub Ministry of Sound.}

{My Mum making the oh-so-long plane trip to see us in London and experiencing Scotland with her.}

{Matt experiencing a game of golf where the game itself started… St Andrews Golf Course in Scotland.}

{Seeing one of the most beautiful monasteries in the whole world, Melk Abbey in Austria.}

{Visiting the famous Chelsea Flower Show.}

{Soaking up the very first Summer day rays in London for the year from one of the most beautiful spots in the city – Primrose Hill.}

{Seeing David Guetta at Alexandria Palace – an amazing DJ and an amazing venue.}

{Being in London for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.}

{Going to Wimbledon.}

{Saying goodbye to friends we were leaving behind in true British style… by dressing up in the Best of British.}

{More goodbyes as we say farewell to work and our amazing colleagues.}

{Spending our very last day in London by revisiting those sights we will miss the most. Such a sad day!}

{The amazing countries we travelled through on our trek back to Australia…}

{…Prague.}

{…Krakow.}

{…Budapest.}

{…Slovenia.}

{…Croatia.}

{…Italy.}

{… including witnessing and celebrating the wedding of Noni and Gez in the Cinque Terre.}

{… Egypt.}

{… Jordan.}

{… Dubai.}

{… and Singapore.}

{Flying over Toowoomba on our flight back home.}

{Going back to visit the place we use to call home – the Sunshine Coast.}

{Spending Christmas with our family again.}

HAPPY NEW YEAR from M&M x

Lake Bled in photographs

Lake Bled. I’m not sure the photos do this place justice… you might have to make the judgement for yourself.

{Bled Church, on the mainland}

{Bled Castle with Bled Church before a mighty storm}

{The green behind Lake Bled. This place is surrounded by mountains}

{Gondalas take people from the shore to the Church Island. You can also row yourself there}

{This has got to be the best view of the island. This is from Bled Castle}
