The Brit Invasion has begun!
Mum is here safely!!! She arrived last night at around 10:30pm. Much earlier than expected, however by this point I was pacing the arrivals lounge and getting rather twitchy! I was so excited!
We had a lovely big hug (and a couple of tears!) and then all headed straight back to the flat and had a well earnt cuppa whilst skyping everyone in the UK to let them know Mum was safe and sound!
Today we've been out and about in Melbourne, and I took Mum to see our favourite place the Botanic Gardens which was lovely, it was a sunny (very sticky 32 degrees) day and we had a scone at the tea rooms!
Then we headed to Federation Square via Southbank for lunch and hopped on the free tram all the way back to the Docklands.
We arrived back here just in time it seems as the minute we were inside the most amazing thunder and lightening storm happened right outside our building!!!! We sat on the balcony and watched it all happen...(Mum with her hot feet in a bucket!) until the thunder got so loud we got scared and ran inside! :)
We've had a pretty eventful first day to say the least!
Mum's in bed now (9pm) she was dropping asleep on the couch so she's admitted defeat and let the sleepiness win! She's doing so well with the jetlag, I think the happiness of actually finally being here is keeping her going!
No more news from here at the moment, oooh apart from tomorrow we are going to the grand opening of the rink yey!
Chris is going to be there working however Mum and I have been given VIP guest status :) so that should be fun, and the Premier of Victoria will be there too so not too shabby company!
We will update you tomorrow with lots of pics of the opening!
