As was probably made clear by my longer-than-planned absence, I've been swept away by what's been a dream of a summer.
I'm looking forward to what's ahead, and I'm so happy to be back — it feels like coming home. Thank you so much for your patience, and for reading, as always.
See you tomorrow.
PS: A few recent appearances elsewhere:
-Sharing Williamsburg travel tips on Hither & Thither.
-Talking freelance, golden eggs, and imaginary dinner parties at Freja Daily.
-Listing top ten songs for road trips with Morgan West at Panda Head. Happy listening.
Such lovely photos- evidence of a summer full of life! Also, this post is the perfect end to my unexpectedly great day. See you tomorrow, shoko :)
