I'm currently in Mandurah in WA staying with my auntie and uncle until the 14th January! My Mum, Dad and Grandad are all staying here too for Christmas and New Year and my cousin, karri, who was living in Edinburgh has just moved back with her boyfriend, and my other cousin, Jim, has also just moved back home temporarily (he's sleeping in the garage at the moment!) So it's quite a house full (I'm in the lounge but there's a plasma tv screen and Foxtel.. our equivalent of Sky so I'm not complaining!)
The house is in a suburb of Mandurah literally 2 minutes walk from the beach! The balcony looks right over the water so it's really beautiful! It's been great just spending time with family and doing normal things! Have been up to Perth a few times shopping and went to Cottesloe Beach (where all the 'beautiful people' hang out!) and to an outdoor screening of Crocodile Dundee at King's Park which was awesome! I also got to go with my Mum and Grandad up in a 4 seater plane at dusk (my uncle's friend is a pilot) and we flew over Mandurah and Rockingham along the coast! The views were incredible and we went so low we even saw my auntie who was waving from the park!
We had a great Christmas... very different to back home but still good fun! We went out for a family meal on Christmas eve and then went to the pub! On Christmas day we had a BBQ meal and drank pink champagne in the swimming pool!
On boxing Day the younger ones and my uncle Brian went to an all day concert called Rollercoaster where Jim's band were playing along with some quite famous Aussie ones... Frenzal Rhomb, Grinspoon, The Butterfly Effect.... Jim's band 'Screams for Dylan' were awesome! They totally rocked out!! Haha! It was the closest to moshing I've ever been! It was like they were rock stars and I was going 'that's my cousin up there! I'm family!'
I think I'll be spending New Year in Mandurah.. just go to the pubs and club here... it's kind of like Bakewell and the Pav! Nothing too special or exotic! Although they are having a foam party at the club!!
Hope you all had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!!
