3 Years in Aus

We're now clocking up the end of our third full year in Australia. Time really does seem to fly.... Only seems like yesterday we were packing up in Warwick and wondering what it would be like. Amazing really. Wonder what the next three years has in store for us!

Anyway, most of the recent activity in the Hawkins household has been revolving around the garden or new things for the house. We had a new fitted office installed (main pic) a couple of weeks ago as we're working from home a bit more now and needed the space. Well thats how we justified it anyway. In other news, the garden/pool progress has once again slowed due to having to wait for a building permit for the pool hut and the stone supplier running out of the sandstone pavers we've ordered. Builders .... who'd have 'em. Supposedly it will all be done by the end of October. Time will tell.

In the next couple of weeks we're attending Ethan's primary school to get ready for his induction. The school year starts in January over here and he'll be 5 1/2 by then - a bit later than he would of started in the UK. We think he's ready now .... itching to learn new things. We also have Darren (Maxine's brother) out here in late October for 3 weeks so we'll be donning the tourist caps again and revisting some of the sights around Melbourne.

Some of the latest pics of the boys & the garden are just here.
