thank you thank you thank you
what more can I say
I truly did not expect any comments, I thought I had peeed off my bloggin friends with my disappearing act. I considered starting another new blog and going from there with the new honest me (no I am not gonna start harping on about being real again!) but at the end of the day I just couldn't be bothered to re-register another blog and set it all up. I might do that soon though!
Virtually everything I read about tells me the virtues of writing stuff down and I've missed that, even if it just is the mundane things that I read about and I've missed reading the journey of my friends too.
On life in Australia? We still love it, the winter has been mild in UK terms, but it is amazing how we are finding 17C to be cold when in the UK 17C would mean summer was certainly on the way! Roll on summer here and 30C days, cos I am sure missing them lol!
I am slightly (just a teeny) bit concerned that we have not made the complete move with this one - we are basically still in the commercial world of suburban life, albeit with sun, sand and surf! DH still has to commute, leaves early and gets home late and there are still people around here who are more concerned whether or not they have the latest model Mercedes and what label their kids' are wearing or what private school they go to than what is going on in the world, but hey ho I can handle that.
I do think that a move to the country (or the coast but not near the city coast) is still in the midst. The problem with this being that our oldest son is 11 and *another* change probably wouldn't be that good for him....we'll see, I don't think it is in the pipeline for a good few years anyway, perhaps even longer. What we do know is that selling our house in the UK would buy us a huge house in the country outright with a good lump sum in the bank too, meaning a whole different world of flexibility for us......
Anyway must go, I am rock climbing this morning (yep still doing it). I love it, bought my own harness, shoes and chalk bag this week so that must mean I love it!

Dolly, it doesn't matter where you go, even if you move to outback NSW - you will still find those who worry about material things. I have learnt to ignore them and you will too. Just remember you have many friends here online to talk it all over with. I love that you are going to be 'real' we need more real hee, hee. I have found a new lease with my whole new identity. I post what I want and don't care if no one comments, it is more for me now. We are strong women and we will survive. love ya! xo
oh and go for the move before he gets to high school is my advice.
Move to the mountains, there are some great schools here and tons of people commute to the city to work. plus it is the perfect place to bring kids up. we have rock climbing and all kinds of stuff....consider it! ooh and we can meet for coffee in Leura!
