It ended up all over the hob instead.
Did a walk of shame to the fridge only to discover it was my LAST egg 😭

Reflecting on my time in Sibiu.
What an opportunity it was. It was way out of my comfort zone and very emotional at times, but I've learned so much! A huge thanks to the team for welcoming me and letting me bug them with my camera 😂
Time to crack on with writing my proposal.
My 3 year old nephew was happily playing with his cars.
