Month: January 2008

We’ve been back in Sydney for just a few hours now after an epic journey home… (More on the journey later)… a few things struck me within 2 hours of getting back:

It’s warm here, ok it’s summer, but it just feels so WARM!

It’s also very bright. Sure it’s lighter later in Scotland during summer, but there’s a real dazzling brightness to Sydney in the summer, I now realise that I love it.

Having your bags lost by an airline is crap even when you are arriving home

Love being back in our own car instead of a hire, it just car feels like home

(Thanks Mark and Sarah for giving looking after it and sending it back to us cleaner than it’s been since it was new!)

 

oh, and we still live on a building site

 

The lion the witch and the wardrobe malfunction!

(Ok, slightly unfair, however I had a grab a bunch of winter stuff from the coat cupboard at the last minute and as you can see I didn’t do all that well! I am wearing my Mum’s coat in the picture below)

We were lucky enough to find some snow on Scarlett’s birthday so we had a great time throwing snowballs (Ok, I had a great time, no one else enjoyed that part), building a snowman, and generally suffering the freezing cold and damp clothes that come with playing in the snow!

Picture below right is of a snowman we built in less than a minute!
