Are we Sure

Well we have done something exciting, we have reserved a plot of land!!!!
we are feeling good about it, and allthough the land backs onto a rail track we feel this will be a good house to build and will get us onto the property ladder.

Will keep you posted with the developments.

There is beauty all around

The weather here is just beautiful at the minute. We are starting to come out of the winter I think. If we have just been through winter it was the lovliest and shortest winter I have ever experienced.
Matt has found a lovely little beach which you have to get to by going along a dirt track with a 4x4. Matt me and Alfie spent part of the afternoon there yesterday, and I was blown away , it was amazing. The water was turquise the sand a soft yellow and where the water wet the sand the light bounced off like diamonds twinkling.
Thankful for my many blessings.

production time

The girls have been in a school production this week and they have loved it espicially Syd. I think we will look for a drama club for her as she loves to perform!!!!

Annie is becoming the queen of the monkey bars. She swings on them with no effort.The kids love to stay after school and just play on the school equipment for ages.

And Alfie!!!! He is saying his new favourite word over and over SPIDER SPIDER SPIDER. So today I bought him some spiderman under wear he looks so cute in it.

See you soon
Maria

Catch up

A few people have contacted us lately and told us to start a blog. We had done but I couldnt remember how to get on to it. Well ta da!! I have made it. I am chuffed with myself.

Life is going well here in Aussie land. I am loving it I am making new friends and enjoying the laid back approach to life for me and the kids.

Matt is working hard the shifts here are harder, and he seems to be away from home more than I expected, but he has more days off which we try to chill out and go the all the local parks and beaches. However Matt has put surfing on hold for a while as he is trying to rest his broken toe.

will post again soon

Wiltshires down under

Well the adventure is well and truly running.
The girls are settling into school , Matt is learning to surf and I am enjoying this lovely aussie winter.
I will keep you posted on more adventures as they happen .
my love to all ,Maria

Flight booked but not for all

Matt is leaving the UK on Monday the 10th of March 2008. He will arrive in Aus on Tuesday the 11th and starts in the academy on the 19th.

Maria and the kids will remain in the Uk until the house completes or the visa expires. But hopes that it will be less than a couple of months.
