It's All Happening...

The lagoon this evening.



Anna, Georgie and Olivia at the bbq this weekend

You are probably all waiting for an update on the Robson Greene (or 'Rob' as I now call him) situation. Well - filming has finished and the street is returned to normal. 'Rob' is no longer one of our neighbours, but I'm sure we will stay in touch. We became very close during his time here. Hahahahahahahaha.

I have to say though, that idiotic though my repartee with him may have been, his comment in reply was no less ridiculous, as he screamed in return

'I'm the only English person on this grass!'

I like to think that he spent the rest of that afternoon in his trailer thinking about what a dick he had made of himself. Coz I did (although unfortunately I was not in his trailer whilst I was doing this).

All that excitement apart, there has been plenty going on here lately. The children both had sleepovers at the weekend - Anna with Evie, and George with Andrew. Then on Sunday we had friends Tracey and Andrew with their children Olivia and Max over for a bbq and were joined by Andrew (George's friend) and his dad Ian. There were a lot of Andrews....The weather was glorious and we all enjoyed relaxing with some good wine and good food, and watched the world go by on the water. Attempts were made to catch some fish for the meal, but to no avail. Luckily I wasn't relying on them being successful!



The boys setting off to catch dinner. Luckily I had made lots of lamb burgers..

And the big news is two things - number one, that Grace and Bob (Andrew's parents for those of you not in the know) arrived today and will be staying for a month, and number two - we are moving house.

The people who own our current beautiful property are in the UK, but are unexpectedly expecting a baby and want to come back early. Now, our contract runs out on 29th May next year and we are legally entitled to stay until then, but they would like to return by February, which I can understand. Initially I said that we wouldn't move, but when we thought about it, May and June are really bad times to find rentals - although we were lucky, there was hardly anything available. Whereas at this time of year there is lots of property - so we decided to have a look around.

We've found a great house just up the road in Mona Vale. It doesn't have the beautiful views we have here, but you can walk to the beach and to Pittwater, and you can walk into the 'village' for great shops and restaurants. And best of all it has an extra bedroom to here (so even more rooms for guests) and a pool and a full size tennis court!

Andrew and George are pretty keen on playing tennis, and the pool will be a great bonus in the summer months, so we are all quite excited about it, although sad to leave this place. We will be moving during the week commencing 2nd December, and once we have it all confirmed, I'll email you all with the new address.

This weekend we are away on a boat on the Hawkesbury with Andrew's mum and dad. It is so wonderfully peaceful there, and we are all looking forward to it. Lots of photos too!

Enjoy the photos from this weekend!
