I hope you all had a great Christmas and New year. Things are good here. We are both busy with work and Jos mum has been staying with us over the holidays. Weve managed to go to the seaside a couple of times and the weather is very mild but raining a lot. The roof of my shed has leaked and fallen through and the back yard is under a couple of cm of water. The twins are loving nursery although Im not loving how much it costs !!! It would be great to hear from you all so please send us an update from what you have been doing. according to the stats we have 186 people who read this every time but not many write back so we would love to hear from you.
summer was great. 6 weeks in Poland. The country house now has a small swimming pool and we had a couple of great parties. The drive through Germany was very interesting. We spent the night in Kassel in East Germany which was a very interesting and a nice way to start the holiday. As usual Eurostar and driving in Europe a breeze.
Jo completed her British sign language 2 course and I did a teaching English as a foreign language certificate for fun. I think we both agree that studying while having jobs and kids is very difficult. Apart from some new carpet, sofas and doors. I haven't done too much more to the house and are looking forward to summer as we have holidays booked in the Canaries, Sardinia and back in Poland in August. I just booked the Eurostar so hopefully I can find contracts that are going to allow us to have 6 weeks of again.
Heres are some pics. All the best..

Mam nadzieję, że wszyscy świetnie się Boże Narodzenie i Nowy Rok . Rzeczy są tutaj dobre . Oboje jesteśmy zajęci pracą i Jos mama została u nas na święta . Udało oferujemy iść nad morze kilka razy , a pogoda jest bardzo łagodny , ale padało dużo . Dach mojej szopie wyciekł i spadł przez ipodwórze jest pod kilkoma cm wody . Bliźniaki są kochający przedszkola chociaż Im nie kochać , ile to kosztuje ! Byłoby wspaniale usłyszeć od was wszystkich , więc prosimy o przesłanie
aktualizacji od tego, co robili . według statystyk mamy 186 ludzi, którzy czytają to za każdym razem, ale nie wiele odpisać więc chcielibyśmy usłyszeć od ciebie .
lato było świetne . 6 tygodni w Polsce. Dom ma teraz mały basen i mieliśmy kilka świetnych stron . Przejazd przez Niemcy było bardzo interesujące . Spędziliśmynoc w Kassel w Niemczech Wschodnich , który byłbardzo ciekawy imiły sposób na rozpoczęcie wakacji . Jak zwykle Eurostar i jazdy w Europie wiatr.
Jo ukończyła brytyjskiego języka migowego 2 bieg i zrobiłem nauczania języka angielskiego jako języka obcego świadectwa dla zabawy . Myślę, że oboje zgadzają się, że studia , mając jednocześnie miejsca pracy i dzieci jest bardzo trudne . Oprócz kilku nowych dywanów , kanap i drzwi . Nie zrobiłem zbyt wiele więcej do domu i czekamy na lato , jak mamy zarezerwowane wakacje na Wyspach Kanaryjskich , Sardynii i z powrotem w Polsce w sierpniu . Właśnie zarezerwowałem Eurostar więc mam nadzieję, że mogę znaleźć umowy, które będą pozwalały nam na 6 tygodni ponownie.
Oto kilka fotek . Wszystkiego najlepszego ..

Hey!
Hey Steve! Well...news from CCC - things have changed quite considerably! Not sure you would probably know anyone here anymore - apart from the usual suspects - Gibbo, Catherine, Jo McAfee and Mel Smith. Most have either moved on or across to other companies. Clare Revell and Maurice Dale eventually wed and now have a little girl. Clare is stil doing consents, while Maurice is now working for Boffa. Catherine Elvidge is still do the same. Ditto for Gibbo! Jo Price move back up to Auckland last year and is working for BECA. And Andrew Fitzgerald is working for Novo Group (formerly ViaStrada). As for me...well I finally married my partner, so surname has changed from Sargeant to Piper - quite good for our daugther and school! My daughter Eloise is now 8 - have no idea where the time went. Great to see pics of your twins - they have grown so much, and look like they are a load of fun, great age. I'm not in consents anymore - ended up moving to District Planning Team to work on some plan changes, and then was asked to help out with the recovery of the central city. So now I'm in the urban regeneration team working primarily in the central city. Think my years here at Council really have helped out with getting things done - all those connections I gained! Lots is happening here, as you can imagine - and there has been a major shuffle through the entire organisation with a new mayor and a majority new lot of Crs - all trying to make a difference! LOL. It's a completely different organisation from when you were here! Anyhoo....great that you are continuing to update this blog (cause I get the updates). All the best Steve! Clare Piper (nee Sargeant).
