Had a lovely surprise a few weeks ago when Annabel arrived in Sydney. Was fab seeing a face from home :-) Have been very jealous as she's just spent the last couple of weeks making her way up the east coast. Just to let everyone know that we'll be leaving Sydney on the 4th to start our next adventure - feeling a bit apprehensive but excited. Will be very sad to leave Sydney - it's very much our home now - but it will be great seeing everyone when we make it b...

Hola! Que Tal ? Started Spanish lessons yesterday ready for SA. Was quite a scary experience.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! Hope that everyone's celebrations went off with a bang ;-) We decided (along with countless other thousands) to spend NYE at Mrs Macquaries Point.

Then we spent the rest of the day lazing on the beach and enjoying the sunshine. I heartily recommend that everyone should try this at least once - a hot Christmas takes some getting used to - but a relaxed day on the beach is well worth the hardship! ;-) We're gearing up for ...

Hi Guys - By now you should have all heard the news that we've (I've) changed our minds about the wedding. Yippee - I am so excited - but don't mind telling you that it's taking a lot of organisation from the other side of the world. (Thanks Dee) Hope you all liked your cards. Posted pics of my last Xmas party on the site - As you know I am a lawn bowls master. I managed to weave my final bowl in and out of several tight spaces in order to beat the rest of the ...
