We went out last weekend to celebrate our 6 months in Oz! As we sat, chatting about the past 6 months, Tim noticed something under the seat upstairs!! I’m sure someone out there made this happen!! The Wilson’s of Oz, 6 month celebration and Dorothy was with us!!
The world is a magical place my darlings! Keep holding on to your dreams! 💖
Oh my goodness, it’s been a month since I last opened this up and wrote anything! What a crazy month too! It all started with the school holidays! We had one day, and then the house was in lockdown! I took Poppy to the Dr as she seemed under the weather, really chesty, high temperature etc! We don’t have a GP as such here, you just go to a “bulk billing” medical centre and get seen by someone! Could be the janitor, and sure as hell you get given anti biotics!
This particular time we saw a lovely Indian doctor who told us Poppy had caught pneumonia and was super poorly! He prescribed a McDonald’s and a glass of Milo! (A malted milk drink the Aussies go mad for!). So after an X-ray confirming the diagnosis we went home, tuned into Netflix and got comfy! Monty tried his hardest to irritate his sister while she slept on the sofa but got very little response! She was out of it for a good 6 days!
By the time Poppy was up and about, Monty took a turn for the worse! Back to the medical centre we went, where the same lovely doctor prescribed anti biotics, a Vegemite sandwich and a glass of Milo! This is not a joke! I almost choked! My boy had bronchitis, I was exhausted and we rushed home for more Milo! (Monty is a marmite fan, and will not cross to the Vegemite side).
The whole two week holiday was taken up with wiping noses, passing cups of water (well within reach), administering medicine and crying! Mainly my tears I have to add! I needed my mum! Yup! I needed mum to take over for an hour. I was tired! It’s exhausting looking after poorly kids! (Note to self: take mum on next adventure).
No sooner had the germs gone, the packing boxes came out! Oh good lord! The owner of our house decided that she needed to move back in, so we were on the move! It’s incredibly stressful trying to lease a house here! The agents advertise the properties, then open them for inspection for 15 minutes! So, we loaded the children into the car, I had armfuls of printouts, we had a strict schedule, and there was no time for a loo break! Actually, Monty has become a dab hand at peeing into a sandwich bag whilst still strapped into his car seat! 
When you arrive at a property you need to be armed with an already filled out application (just in case you like it), because there may be 12 other people you need to jump ahead of! This particular day we saw 6 houses, 5 of which the cockroaches were welcome to! Honestly I wouldn’t have liked to have seen humans or animals in them! So we found one house and all our hopes were in there! We applied and waited 3 days! Thank goodness someone was looking down on us! We got the house!!
This move was very different to the last! We didn’t have the two cockney packers, wrapping and boxing up, we had Poppy!! We hired a van, roped in some buddies and off we went! We have a great place now, and haven’t stopped partying and bbq’ing since we got in!
Everything happens for a reason hey!
This little trooper has found this particular move pretty hard going! You think your kids are well travelled, resilient little creatures, but sometimes it’s one move too far! Even with the lilo, the pool and the banana tree out front, I think secretly our darling girl would choose rainy UK, cafe Nero and a wander round tesco express at the moment!
6 months in Australia this weekend! Half a year has gone already! Maybe that’s why I said “far out” today instead of “Golly Gosh!”
Wow! What a couple of weeks! We have had parties, play dates, end of term celebrations, more fairy bread and party pies than you can shake a stick at!
That added to all the beers, red wine and crisps, has pushed me head first back into another whole30!! So I am 2 days into it and I am too busy to miss the 11am spoonful of Nutella!
Last week saw the end of term 3 for Poppy! Can’t believe how time is flying! She gets to wear her summer uniform after the holidays, which she is thrilled about (me even more so!).
To celebrate our last day alone before the holidays Monty and I went for a scoot in Cronulla! We like to race each other! This…..
Soon turned into this…
Yup, mum of the year award goes to this Pratt who let her three year old scoot a million miles an hour down a hill with no helmet! In typical Wilson drama style, Monty was in and out of concouisnes in the back of the car, so I pulled over, lay him on the pavement and screamed for someone to call me an ambulance! He gave me the shock of my life! Two policemen walked over to check on us, “ah buddy, you hurt your noggin?”….. (Not sure if Monty was confused by the word noggin or out of it?)… “Can you point to where it hurts on your noggin?” No response! Beautiful, tanned, teeny short wearing goddess rang the ambulance for me! I was sweaty, frightened, scruffy and unaware of the black mascara smudged down my face! Damn, I bet she looks perfect even during a drama! So, paramedics arrive, tall….tanned….handsome…cool shades… Since when do paramedics look like they just stepped out of a magazine shoot!!? “hey buddy! How you going?” (I still don’t get the “how you going” thing!?!?) No response from my boy! “Have you bumped your noggin?” No response! Off we go, me in my trackies (which Tim later tells me are see through!Cringe!) and Monty strapped into the bed with his sore noggin!
In true Monty style we were wheeled into the emergency department, still dazed and confused, asking for a bag of crisps! Two hours later, having eaten a kit Kat and his crisps, we were discharged with concussion and told to buy a helmet! Didn’t want to say we have one, just left it in the garage!! Safe to say it is now taped to his head before he even looks at his scooter! Bloody kids!
So what do you do when your kid has concussion? You go to your mates house for a last minute party! It was messy! It ended about 9pm with four rather merry adults running around the street in gardening gloves trying to move a birds nest out of a kumquat tree while being pecked at my some mean assed perky birds! The adult birds were swooping anyone who went near the nest so we moved it into the neighbours front garden to save our friends being attacked every time they left the house! Lucky neighbours! Pretty sure it is the same bird that emptied its bladder all over my back a few weeks back!!
Our weekend was pretty quiet after all the excitement of Friday! Poppy and I went for a manicure! She loved it! Although she had picked all the varnish off by bedtime!
Unfortunately as I am typing away my poor girl is lying next to me asleep! She has pneumonia and is pretty poorly! She is not a happy bunny! I think this is one of the hardest things about being away from home! The comfort of home! The comfort of family support, of knowing where the hospital is, who to call in an emergency! Who knows which dr you can use with your health cover??!? It’s pretty confusing, even when you don’t have Monty trying to kick the young lady’s sick bucket over, or throwing his captain America shield around the waiting room! (What sort of moron moves abroad just as the free childcare vouchers kick in?) Anyway, she’s had her X-ray, she’s on antibiotics and Monty’s still trying my patience!
Summer is on its way! Hip hip hooray!
This week has been a toughie! Yeah I did just say that! In fact it’s been more than tough! I have spent most of the week with a lump in my throat, fighting back a dam busting amount of tears! (Don’t worry! I’m ok really!)
This week has seen the birth of my niece! She is gorgeous, beautiful, and seems to be an angel!! So why do I feel so sad? I have missed out on the birth of my brothers first child! I want to hold her, to kiss her, to rock her to sleep! I want to be there to, well, just bloody be there! Ok, so we Skype, we email, we text, but nothing (absolutely NOTHING) makes up for missing out on holding a baby, smelling that baby smell, seeing that look that new parents give each other, the adoring way they look at their new child!! Even Monty tried to reach into my phone to stroke baby Daisy while she was sleeping! We are all missing out on this precious family time and it feels pretty damn sad!!! Having said that, we are thrilled and over joyed to have this little bundle in our lives!! We’ll just have to get her passport sorted out!
This week has also seen the first day of school for some special little people back home! Ok, ok I hear you say!! But stop! When you are 10,000 miles away from home its hard not to feel a little “emosh” about stuff!!
The “Father’s Day Brekkie” at school this morning was the push I needed to get right over the edge! I turned up late thinking that all the dads would have gone to work, but no! The playground was full of dads, playing soccer, hopscotch, and giant chess, running around with their kids, throwing their heads back with laughter! For goodness sake?! Poppy was in tears!! “I want daddy!” It’s hard to explain to a 7 year old that actually your daddy is busting a gut in a new job, holding it all together so we can have this opportunity and he just doesn’t have the time to come to school to eat a bacon butty and get ketchup on his tie this morning!! To be fair to her, it did look like every dad in the whole of Sydney (if not the whole flipping world) was there!
So, apart from all that, and my son calling me a “cock” in the bank, this week has been good! (He meant cockatoo BTW)
In other news; I have managed to avoid being peed on by a parakeet this week! It’s only happened once but I can tell you now, I carry a small umbrella in my bag in case I am stranded under a tree!!! Who knew birds wee’d!? Really, I don’t know what has been more of a shock in Oz, fairy bread, or the size of a parakeets bladder!! In fact, another little shocker this week (my what a week I hear you say!!), was a shopping trip with my gorgeous friends! The trip was planned so that we could purchase “Father’s Day” presents for our other halves! So off we went to BBQ World, Bbq’s Galore, even drove up to The Webber Shop although Webber BBQ’s are just too small!!! Yup, it’s true! The best fathers day prezzie you can buy an Aussie bloke is a bloomin’ BBQ! In fact we bumped into another friend in BBQ’s Galore who was also buying a BBQ for her husband! I mean, us Poms know “they” like cooking over coals but Jeepers this was surely being filmed for a new sitcom!?
So another week has flown by, I am now officially a “soccer mom” and we seem to be really getting into the swing of things! What with the BBQ shopping, the parakeet wee, and me giving in to calling crisps, ‘chips’, sweets “lollies” and trousers, ‘pants’! God forbid, I’m practically native!
So, Friday will mark our 4th month in Australia! Gosh, time really is flying! Someone told us it takes at least 6 months to settle in and start to feel like you’re at home! We are having the best time no matter what! We have more meals out than we should have, the children stay up way beyond bed time most nights, we sightsee, we bbq, and we seem to be making more of the hours in the day than we used to!
We have made some super friends here, who have included us like we have been friends for years! We are very, very lucky! Really, to be able to holiday in Australia with the children would be an awesome experience, but to live here, go to school here, holiday here, I honestly thank my lucky stars every day!
Having said all that, this weekend we have been having long (wine fuelled) chats about what we do in the future! Where do we want to be? What do we want to be doing? What about schooling? What do we want the children to see and do!? So we have made a decision! Drumroll please….. Our four year Australia plan has had a tweek! (Did I say wine? Oh and beer)
We have decided, once we have finished here in Sydney, we are going to pack up, ship our things home, and travel!
We want to take the children to as many places as we can get to in Australia, and maybe further still! We will have beach days, city days, farm days, and we will make the most out of being together (God help us) and free! Free from all sorts of things that stop people travelling!
Ok so apart from the children getting on our nerves in the back of the campervan, or Monty getting eaten alive by Mosquitos or Poppy vomiting into our suitcases, or me missing my manicures, what on earth could go wrong?? Ok, don’t answer that!!
We aren’t going tomorrow, in fact we aren’t going next year! This is a two year plan, unlike our “shit, you got a job in Australia!!!! Have we got time to say bye to our mums??”
We are going to list the places we must see, and find out where we can stay in between! We have found a great organisation through which you can work on organic farms even with the children in tow! Check it out!! (http://www.wwoof.com.au)
Not sure we’ll be staying with these two though!
Agh this is more what we’re after!
( Ok I will be the one wearing gloves, trousers tucked into my socks yelping at the sight of a creepy crawley! Look, I’m going to do my best!)
So now we need your help! We need as many places, experiences, beautiful, must see sunsets/sunrises as you lot can give us! Where have you been in Australia that you think we should put on our list!? How did you get there!? Where did you eat!? What did you eat!? We want to be able to give ourselves and our children an awesome once in a lifetime trip so please give us some pointers!
I’m going to add our plans, updates and ideas to this blog! We really will be The Wilsons of Oz! A few months with less of this ……
And more of this….
Hans Christien Anderson said “life itself is the most wonderful Fairytale ” and he also said “To travel is to live.” So here goes, let the planning commence! The Wilson’s are going to travel! Who’d have thunk it!!?
thewilsonsofoz have some news for you, so look out for this weeks blog, coming really soon!
Well, I have made it to 34! I love birthdays! Really love them! I love them even more now that I have the children! They got so excited, so much so that I was forced to open a present on the eve of my birthday, and was promtly told what exactly was wrapped up downstairs for the morning! No surprises here! Then when I woke on my birthday I wasn’t allowed to open my own presents as Monty deemed me “to weak”!
We had an awesome day! My lovely Aussie buddies arranged a trip to the park, where I was serenaded by them and the children singing “happy birthday” after which I gobbled down a tonne of cake! Wouldn’t have been so bad, but two hours later I was tucking into a 9 course meal! (Summersalt.com.au) Safe to say the gym was hard last night!
We have had an awesome couple of weeks! We took the children to Symbio zoo! It’s pretty small, but a great place! The highlights had to be hand feeding the Kangaroos and seeing a snotty little kid getting bitten by a wombat! (Dad was in charge! Surprise suprise?) (no Cilla pun intended) I wasn’t sure who was more delighted, the little kids siblings or the wombat! I guessed it would be wrong to photograph a crying, bleeding child so you’ll have to just put up with the Kangaroos!
Our weekends seem to be packed with all sorts of great little trips! This weekend we have been out to the Blue Mountains. The scenery is stunning, nothing like anywhere I have ever been! The scent of eucalyptus was awesome; that and the butter Popcorn they were selling by the bucket load to hugely overweight children, who were then hugely dehydrated!!!
In typical Wilson style, a force 10 gale picked up as we stepped onto the cable car! I clung on for dear life as we hurtled left and right! Tim was hysterical, with laughter I might add, as I was putting on a brave (ish) face! The children were fine, trying to spot koalas!! The views from up high were unbelievable! We could see down through the glass floor (um…. One eye closed), as we flew across the tree tops! It wasn’t too terrifying, until the tour guide mentioned the waterfalls! This encouraged 50 Japanese tourists to scamper across the car all at the same time! Jesus how the cables didn’t snap I will never know! I shrieked “stop! Christ!” Tim laughed and Poppy burst into tears! We’re so ace at “adventure”!!
Our Sunday morning was pretty ordinary! The children had a party to go to in the afternoon so we lazed about, the children played and watched TV, we pottered around in the garden! Then it got to that time when you see how much of the day has gone by and you jump into Seargent major mode! “Everyone get dresssssed, turn the tellllllyyyyy off NOw!!!! Come oooooon! We’ve wasted the whole moooooooorninnng”. 40 minutes of that, followed by some frantic hair and teeth brushing and we were out the door? Phew! It meant we had a morning at the park with much coffee for us and ice blocks (lollies) for the kids!
They wouldn’t have had the ice blocks if I had known what gets served at kids parties here! They went to a lovely party in a play centre! There were hundreds of small, sweaty, red faced kids running around like dingbats! Mainly because they had been fuelled with…. Wait for it…. “Fairy bread”! Do you know what fairy bread is!? Fairy bread is sliced white bread, smothered in butter and then covered in hundreds and thousands! It’s a kids party staple here! What sort of mentalist thought that would be a good idea! The children were going nuts! I love that people don’t let their kids drink apple juice, looking around for approval, “only water for mine!!!” but hey “have another slice of fairy bread son!” Don’t get me wrong, my kids get far too many treats but JESUS CHRIST!!!! Fairy flipping bread!!!! It’s so bad, I can imagine kids selling it behind the bike sheds for some extra cash! You have to be superhuman for fairy bread not to have any impact on your state of mind! Surely!?!? Having said that, the party passed by without Monty kicking anyone in the “Winkie” or threatening to shoot anyone’s eyeballs out, both of which are fairly common place! He did spend quite a while hollering at people “there’s nothing that a good smash can’t sort!” Incredible Hulk has a lot to answer for! Well it’s either Hulk or Monty’s been buying black market fairy bread!!! He has hasn’t he!!!!!!
I’ll leave you with this little beauty I found today!!!
New research has found age 34 is the happiest of our lives on average !
It’s when people start ticking off boxes including marriage and children!
A Study of 2,000 over-40s found it was when most people were happiest
It’s also the age when we’re most comfortable with ourselves!
Most people said that they had become happier as they had grown older !
So here I go on a voyage of discovery! I’ll let you know how 34 goes!!! X
Hey! Sorry for the massive delay in posting! As life gets back to some kind of normality I seem to have a lot less time to sit and type away! Sounds lame I know! I don’t “work” but I seem to do a heck of a lot of other time consuming stuff!! I’ve given up counting how many days/ weeks we have been here now! To be fair, I’m not even sure what day it is most of the time! I took Monty to the dr last night, and I had to ask what date it was, followed by “…um month?” (Wierd look from receptionist) then I whispered “year??” I think he felt sorry for me; or maybe his tilted head and blank expression was simply because he was reaching under the desk for the panic alarm!!! I’m not sure if I can blame the infamous “baby brain” now that my boy is 3, but there is definitely something going on or not going on up there!
So last week I made a pretty good purchase! I have always been great at spending money, but this was different, this was money well spent!! I purchased a Nutri Bullet!
This little beauty can whizz up all kinds of beautiful into a juice that will make you feel great! Ok, so it hasn’t had any impact on my memory, but I feel bouncy and full of energy! My skin is glowing (if I do say so myself) and my eyes are brighter! As a family we are pretty good at getting our 10 a day! We have a very healthy diet to be honest! Lots of nuts, vegetables, fruit etc! Nothing processed! The Nutri bullet was just another way to get all our vitamins and nutrients! I honestly feel like I might turn green and bust out of my clothes like the Hulk when I have downed my kale and pear juice in the morning!
It’s not everyone’s idea of a yummy start to the day, but since I turned around my diet, I cannot go back! I’ve seen first hand what damage you can do to yourself when you aren’t paying attention to what’s in your food!
So now that the infomercial is out of the way I’ll tell you about our week! Pops is back at school! Phew! Two weeks in to term 2? 3? (Whatever) and I think she is ready for another holiday! She is still loving school, although she is desperately missing her buddies back home this week! Skype is a wonderful thing! Poppy loves using Skype to keep in touch! Although it’s not the same as a “proper play date mum!”
Poppy seems to have had a month long birthday! We are still receiving gifts and cards three weeks on! How lucky is she! Honestly I don’t know when this girl grew up so much, she amazes me! 
Monty and I have been hanging out, swimming, playing in the park, seeing our buddies!
I can’t get him into a nursery yet as the waiting lists are pretty immense! So, I have joined the gym, which has a Creche! Unfortunately I have to be in the building while he is in the creche, so I can’t run off to have my nails done, but I do get 90 minutes to work out; after which I can shower in peace with no one joining me and peeing on my leg!! Sometimes it’s the little things!
Well, it’s Friday (I think…I hope) and we have a great weekend planned! We are off to Symbio Zoo (http://symbiozoo.com.au) to hopefully feed some kangaroos! I am praying Monty doesn’t decide to hide a joey in his pocket, but you just never know with that boy!!!
Have an awesome weekend folks!
Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life! Tip toe if you must, but take the step!
..into our Australian adventure! I am exhausted!
It’s been a crazy two weeks of school holidays! We have managed to fit in a huge amount of fun, a birthday, a flat tyre on the car, and a two day headache for me!! The weather seems to be amazingly warm and sunny or bloody Baltic and raining! I am so looking forward to that Aussie sunshine I was promised!
Last weekend we ventured out to Ramsgate Organic Market! (www.organicfoodies.com.au) This market is one of our local ones! It was a pretty chilly day, and we were looking forward to eating lots of yummy treats that our friends had been telling us about! First stop was a stall called ‘whisk & crumb’. These ladies whip up the most awesome donuts! We couldn’t resist the caramel, popcorn one, a Nutella, and a jam donut which only became a jam donut after you had injected the jam yourself!
There really wasn’t any need to go anywhere else, I could have easily pulled up a chair and sat there all day but alas we moved on! There were lots of beautiful stalls selling all sorts from electric pink tutus, beautiful linen , organic meat and veggies and food from all over the globe! As always, most of the morning was spent watching the children on the bouncy castle ! Only $8 for the whole day!! That is crazy! Who in their right mind wants to sit next to a bouncy castle while their kids play all day!? Don’t pretend you’re doing me a favour, when you know as well as I do that if we last till the end of my coffee without a nosebleed or a broken tooth we’re outta here!
Having said that, I did indeed sit and watch the kids on the bouncy castles for 2 whole hours when we visited “Inflatable World” for Poppy’s birthday! It’s basically two soccer pitches filled with bouncy castles! Each one is manned by a strict member of staff making sure no one is queue jumping, and asking kids to get off once they have had a turn! I couldn’t help thinking it would be more of a free for all in the UK, with far more arguments, shoving and general fisticuffs! Not here! The staff weren’t taking any shit! It made the whole noisy experience far more relaxing for the parents, and super for the kids because it was fair! Everyone got a turn! However, I won’t be going again anytime soon! It’s one of those “once a year” places!
So apart from all the bouncy castle activity this week, we have managed to get a few days on the beach! The kids have even had a dip in the sea! I haven’t been brave enough, mainly because of my very “unbeachy” body, but also because I am making the most of the peace while they are occupied and happily playing! They adore the beach! We all do! They happily jump in and out of the surf for hours on end! I sit and watch, and snooze, and watch a little more!
Until that dreaded time comes when I need the loo! Then I find myself in a dilemma where I need to decide what to leave on the beach, the kids or our bags? What’s more precious to me? Do I pack up and take us all to the bathroom? I don’t want to lose our spot (directly outside the cafe), the kids don’t want to come with me, but it’s just not safe for me to risk holding on for any longer!! I usually end up bribing the kids to sit with our bags with an ice cream while I make a dash for it! I never learn! I then come back, they go off to play and I down another gallon of coffee! Round two shortly follows! Maybe I need to invest in some special knickers for days at the beach!
Today’s activity was Ice Skating at Cronulla! This is our favourite beach, favourite town, and now Monty’s favourite ice rink! (The only one he’s ever been to!) The last time I went ice skating was when I was about 7, somewhere in Germany perhaps! My mother and grandmother spent the whole time in the warmth of the cafe in utter hysterics while dad and I stumbled and skidded around the rink! I think the story goes that dad had such a fall there was a dent in the rink!! Anyway, safe to say dad was fine, but mum still to this day collapses into laugher thinking of dad on the ice! Luckily for me, Monty had a penguin to hold on to so I was able to cling on too!
Sadly I can’t upload videos so I can’t show you the one of me in my Lycra doing the Torville and dean spins and jumps! Don’t worry, I will upload that another day (for a small fee).
So the school holidays are nearly over! Not sure if I’m delighted or gutted! Nope, I’m delighted! It’s been full on! I am looking forward to some quiet time with Monty (what am I saying?) and I think Poppy will be glad to be back her buddies at school!
Friday night now and we’re off out for some drinks and food with the children! Sod the hoovering, hide the laundry, ignore the dishes! Let’s get out and have some fun, and by that I mean wine! Xx (photos to follow)
Hey! What a busy week we have had! In fact, it may have been over a week since I last updated! Today we have hit the “2 months in Australia” mark! I can’t believe it’s only been two months! Not that it’s dragged, just that we seem to have achieved so much in such a short space of time!!!
We are getting to know people, finding our way around without relying on the sat Nav, and Poppy has a slight glimmer of an Australian twang to her accent!
Poppy has amazed and astounded us! She has gone from an anxious teary child, to one that is full of confidence and willing to try so many new things! Poppy is completely embracing this adventure! She had cross country at school last week! My tummy was churning, remembering freezing drizzly mornings with Mrs Trunchball (or whatever her name was) bellowing at us to “get moving or I’ll hang you from the ceiling by your toenails!!” Cross country was always a disaster for me! Poppy however was happy as long as she didn’t come last! Well…. Drumroll please (gushy mother moment) Poppy came 3rd!!
Her teacher is so happy with how she is settling in and what a great class member she is, she even got an award at the end of term assembly!
She looks thrilled doesn’t she!? Ok, so I’ll stop now! Just super proud of my girl! Must be in the genes right!?
The house is sorted, Tim put the final blind up last night! That means we can use the downstairs loo without the neighbours seeing us! Phew! It’s actually really cosy in the house and the children are sleeping really well! Always a good thing!!
Today is the first day of the school holidays and we got a lie in until 8am! Brilliant! The weather looks good so we are going to spend lots of the hols on the beach or in the park! Mind you, there are so many things going on all over Sydney I’m pretty sure we’ll be exploring and rushing about to fit them all in!
The children insisted on going in the pool last week! Monty went blue and it was nearly a trip to hospital! I think we may wait until spring to try that one again? It’s just too tempting when its outside the door! Tim and I took a glass of wine and sat watching them freeze! So looking forward to doing this in the summer! Crate of beers, giggly children and severe sunburn! Amazing!
We went into the city this weekend! It was so lovely! Having lived in the city for a month it really felt nice to go back in! We went to Darling harbour to the “Cool Yule” festival! They celebrate winter with an ice rink, snow dome etc! It was a great excuse to go and play, tire Monty out and grab a beer while he slept!
We are so lucky to have the best of both worlds where we are living! We have beautiful beaches on our doorstep and it takes no time at all to get into the city! It means you can enjoy both worlds really easily!
Waiting for a train to come, when you have a Skype date looming is no fun!!
Yesterday Tim and Poppy cycled to the beach and Monty and I met them there! It took them quite a while so Monty and I had time to have some fun without them! Cronulla is the perfect place to go for a run while your crazy child zooms along with you on his scooter shouting “get out the wayyyyy”! It was beautiful weather, the sea was full of surfers and swimmers, and we had such a nice morning!
I can’t wait for family and friends to visit us so we can share this with them! Get your tickets booked folks, or go one step further and get yourselves a visa to work here! You don’t know what you’re missing!!!
The Wilsons of Oz
