Wow!
We’ve moved into our new place and chaos rules.
We are still moving actually, as the furniture hasn’t quite caught up with us. We are sleeping on the floor on blow-up mattresses. It’s like luxury camping – with toilets and showers and a fridge. We didn’t even have a fridge for the first week and were using an esky with lots of ice.
The internet reception out here isn’t very good, and I am having heaps of problems getting on the internet most days. Some days I can’t get online at all, and other days it’s fine. Totally unpredictable and Geeks-R-Us haven’t been very helpful
Anyhoo, I have just popped in quickly to show we are still alive and well.
When I find a camera I will take some photos of the cows, horses, ducks, chickens, dogs, finches and mice (haha – yes, the boy wanted a cow for Christmas so we gave the kids 5 mice instead – nice!)
This place is like heaven 
Cheers, beers and engineers

Looks like you our a ways from things….I rather like not being too close to other folks…hope you get the internet figure out soon…happy holidays!
Hi Charles – it feels like we are in the middle of nowhere but actually only 10 minutes drive to a main centre. A bit of distance from other folk is always a good thing in my opinion – no unexpected drop ins or annoying parties to wreck my sleep
and if we are loud, no-one can hear us! Happy holidays to you too – it’s all going a bit too quick for me.
Looks awesome, furniture or no – an adventure for the holidays
It certainly is a bit of an adventure bb – we’re getting a trailor today, so should have some furniture soon – taking it slowly has some advantages
The boy is happy we have all been dossing down together, as it is less scary than a new bedroom all on your lonesome.
wonderful,
internet isn’t the most important thing. surly not in a place like this. just hope you drop by sometimes so we get the news from you..
enjoy!!!!
You’re right Dhyan – I’ve only missed the internet for the practical side of it (like paying bills and stuff) and keeping up with my blogging friends – my boy who is usually stuck to his android tablet, has been outside most days looking at the next door neighbours cows and swimming and stuff – he said he now thinks the internet is not as good as he thought – yayay
Like Heaven – what an accolade for the place you have chosen! Congratulations, friend. Welcome to your new home.
Thank you kindly Kate
Things will slow down now after the Christmas rush – hopefully. My Dad is in England for a month (to savour the Christmas atmosphere in a cold country – I hope it is cold over there at the moment – haha – maybe even some snow thrown in for good measure). Happy Christmas Kate and your lovely family xo
Good to have you back here Gabe… enjoy that piece of paradise!
Thanks Graham – we’re going to be here for the long haul – maybe one day you’ll see it in person
Hi Gabrielle. There are always little inconveniences when moving but never for long. They will soon be sorted. But you have a great place there. And what a fun way to move in – sleeping on blow up mattresses. Love it! I know you will have a wonderful life there.
Thanks Helen – yes, you are right – it will all fade into the background in a few years – I don’t really remember any of my previous moves (except when we moved from my first house that I grew up in – that was a little sad – now I don’t get attached to houses
) Wishing you a merry Christmas Helen!
What a splendid view! I can’t wait to see the pictures of this new place. I can certainly believe that you’ve found paradise. Such a lovely paradise it is, too.
Thanks Aletha – photos will be forthcoming (I will use Michael’s camera as mine is still broken – doh!).
I am over the moon for you. A dodgy internet connection sucks but it might sort itself out. Can’t wait to see the pics and hear all your fabulous tales. It’s gonna be great!!!
I got a small interior aerial that has helped slightly – some days are good, others are woeful – totally weird. It is gonna be great and lots of subjects for the camera
