I have an afternoon on my hands so I thought I would take the time to write up my travels from the last 6 months or so (that sounds like such a long time!). It may be a bit patchy but I have kept a fairly accurate journal of my time up until arriving in Kalgoorlie to work so should all be there. I'll start with the planning, packing and day if the flight, to reassure anyone who thinks they've left everything to the last minute. I finished packing as I walked out the door to catch the plane at Gatwick, not unusual but I did have a slight panic that morning when i work up on a friends sofa and praying that the buses where running on time! Having only booked my flights a few ... read more

Hi All Ruth gets the blog today (but only cause I have snuck on before the kids get a chance) Had a lovely day hanging with the Robson's - we miss them :-(. Walked Lauren to school then off to the park with Oliver and Katy, good old Reigate park to feed the ducks (Andrew and I always visited Reigate park so nice to take the kids back). Oliver headed off with his mum for a sleep so we headed off to Petworth house it is a GRAND old manor house that we also used to visit. Eventful trip got caught up in a trafic nightmare when a truck (way to big a truck) tried to drive through a VERY small streeted town - clearly this did not work and truck took out town monumnet, then ... read more

Hi everyone Lucy is blogging today - We went to Brighton visited Choccywoccydoda (it is a chocolate and cake place, they have a show on foxtel I watch so it was exciting seeing it in the flesh). After we ate to much chocolate mum made us walk around the Brighton Lanes (shopping) then we went to The Pier! At the pier Will and dad went on the ghost train, we all went on the dodgem cars and everyone except me went on the big slide then Will and I went on the Carousel. I got a feather in my hair (looks great one purple and one green). We walked along the beach and mum got a picture with the lifeguards because she is a lifeguard to!!! Mum reckons they may have it a little easier than ... read more

So we have made it safe and sound to our wonderful friends Phil and Katy's. Funny thing was for all my organising I didn't bring their address (also thought I would remember how to get there - well guess 13 years clouds ones directionaly ability :-() Sor after driving around for an extended period of time we stumbled - i mean literally by accident upon Katy's mum and dads house (that we visited once when we lived here) after knocking on their neighbours door we were pointed in the right direction and gave them quite the shock - only I would turn up at someones ... read more
