Home sweet home

I'm finally home again and ready to embark on my first proper post for this new and shiny blog.

If you follow me over on Twitter or Instagram, you might've noticed that the site has been up for a few months while I've been tentatively trying some social media, but I've refrained from posting anything here - until now.

For the last ten months, I've been studying on Le Continent and, while it's been a fantastic opportunity in many and various ways, I have to admit that I've been pining for this little island. So now that I'm back in this green and pleasant land a little more permanently, I thought that I'd like to get into blogging about the West Country, the region I know and love best.

Although I'm not a complete newcomer to blogging, it's something that - for several reasons - seemed to fall by the wayside during the past year, and I'm thinking of Partly Dream Country as a new start. I learnt a lot over the lifetime of my previous site, so it's not completely back to Square One, but I know the learning curve will continue, and I'm really looking forward to exploring some old favourites and brand new places in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.

In the meantime, though, take a look at my About Me page (where I'll explain the blog's slightly odd name!). And don't forget to check out my social media - as well as the aforementioned sites, you can find a picture blog on Tumblr.

There's a lot to be excited about in the coming months, so I hope you'll stay tuned for my take on our lovely little corner of the world.
