After a fun New Year (flat party and watching the fireworks from our balcony - did I mention how awesome our flat is yet?!) January was a month filled with fun. The great thing about Australia is that after Christmas it is difficult to get the January blues because it is so sunny! And for a girl who has had a winter birthday for 27 years, 2013's birthday was very exciting!
Just after New Year, we went to Brighton Beach and saw the kite-surfers and the colourful beach huts and also went to watch the football at AAMI Park, and the team we were supporting won!!
After the football we went back to St Kilda beach (where we were on Boxing Day) and met up with old friends to try and see the elusive penguins. I saw one penguin...it was very sweet....much smaller than I had expected! And there was also a beautiful sunset...

And then before too long, it was my birthday! I have to admit, I got a little sad a few days before as none of my UK family and friends would be around to help me celebrate...but then I was surprised with a party on the beach with all my Melbourne friends! It was such a great day with people arriving all day long and into the night...thank you so much to everyone that made it so special :D
And so another month comes to an end....stay tuned for the February and March episodes..! Lots of Love to you all :D xxx
