Revisited

There are a few different ideas behind the title of this post.

The most obvious one is that the blog is being revisited for the first time in more than a month!

The countdown to the wedding in my last blog post was 16 days, and of course that meant everything got busy. Hopefully with the wedding over, I can get back to some sort of blogging routine!
