When my travel exemption to leave Australia and return to Scotland was approved, my friend Emily told me that I should rename the blog ‘Any Available Track.’

Given that we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic, this is an excellent idea.

Current available tracks for me are now the UK. With large parts of Australia in lockdown, I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to return to Edinburgh to see Barry. Now that I’m here, technically, I could go any number of places now as borders are a lot less strict. But there are so many uncertainties and just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should.

So for now, the available tracks are Scotland and Northern Ireland (being with Barry comes with NI family responsibilities after all).

See you in November, Melbourne (please don’t cancel my flight/quarantine space – also, let Barry in too).
