MusicMonday: Somewhere only we know - Keane

So today's #MusicMonday is all about how I feel today; the day I am 30 years and one day old. The song I have chosen is also one of many musical guilty pleasures I keep very secret when I'm on the hunt for cool points.

Yesterday was all about being spoilt, drinking bubbles at breakfast, being covered in the sun's kisses on a beach, swimming in the warmest sea and being swept away on a surprise sunset cruise. (Yep, NewMan did really good!)

Today is now all about feeling a little shell-shocked (and hungover!) and taking stock of what the last 30 years looked and felt like for me and what I want to do next.

I am lucky that I can think about these things in the comfort of the Thai sun and with little other distractions crowding my conscience.

In other news. This time next week we will be back in UK, albeit only temporarily (more on that in the next week or so). After seeing some of my nearest and dearest's faces on Skype yesterday I am very ready to get my hug on and be reminded that as wonderful as all these places I travel to are, they're not as important as the people I come home to.

And now for some very indulgent Instagrams from yesterday. Normal service will resume next week with a kick-ass cool-as tune and some gorgeous Instagrams from Thailand...
