Hard to believe that we’ve lived in Europe for 20 years as of November 22, 2025. Once again, the four of us weren’t together then, but were reunited for another Christmas in London. We reflected on our year on December 29 at a Vietnamese restaurant called Sprigs. As usual, here are our lows first:
- Political situations
- Climate change
- Ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine
- Immigration rhetoric from Labour Party
- Missing Kati
- Jimmy: drama at work distracts from the mission; manager leaving; spending six months of coding to rebuild Harrier Central due to tech changes; running injuries at end of year
- Melissa: continued lack of discipline to update this blog; Georgia passing away; missing a Eurostar journey due to own stupidity; receiving call from a crying Veronica; missing King’s Day festivities in Holland due to catching Covid
- Jimmy + Melissa: finding mice in our flat; lack of communication from Brett
- Veronica + Ashlynn: too long since visiting Holland
- Veronica: having her heart broken; Leah leaving Exeter; endless transcription of interviews with farmers; feeling a bit lost about food post her epic cycle ride; UK higher education system in decline
- Ashlynn: drama from middle-aged white men in the music scene; having to move from her nice flat in Glasgow; ongoing Ciaran drama; visa stresses; ongoing health issues with medications not working; tour in Japan cancelled; jobs in her field requiring a driver’s license; data hiccups for thesis; bickering of new roommates
