Long Time no Sea

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I posted to this Blog, but my wonderful better half has been updating his regularly and for not wanting to duplicate and repeat the same old thing then I haven't posted.

Craig has been a bit slack of late since starting full time employment as a pool technician at "Mr Stoves Pool World".  He is pretty happy there, but the dosh isn't up to much, as most employment here in Aussie Land isn't. 

Things are going really well here, the weather is perfect now, it's now officially Autumn but it's in the mid twenties which is lovely.  It surprised us at how we actually coped when the weather was in the high thirties/low forties, we actually managed quite well, and Craig who isn't a lover of the really hot weather was working outside during this period and managed admirably.

Of course we miss everyone from home terribly but the Aussie's, the weather and just the general lifestyle go some way to making up for it.

The children have took to Aussie life like ducks to water, they both have really nice sets of friends and have thrown themselves into school life and are both involved in the School choirs.  Robyn being older and in the older choir has more 'Public' opportunities and regularly sings at Citizenship ceremonies here in Wodonga.  Good on yer Robyn.

Wodonga is a really nice place, great community spirit, great people, a wonderful place to bring  up children.  The town is having it's annual Street Carnival next weekend, so that's another example of the wonderful community spirit here.  It's a little bit like going back in time in the UK, where you really can leave your front door unlocked without fear of being done over.  Of course there are incidents in the locality but percentage wise nothing like back in Sunny Rhyl.

 

There is really too much to update everyone on so I will sign off now and post a couple of photos of us all over here.

The below are pictures of the Hammans Family at Bondi Beach on the momentous occasion of Craig's 40th Birthday, one he will never forget.
