A month in....














We have been here a month now! It seems to have gone so quick!


So what’s new?

Harry has started school. He goes to South Halls Head primary school and he has settled in well. Today was the last day of school for the six week summer holiday and between now and the 2nd February, he has intensive swimming lessons and he is going to a gold academy, so he can become the new Tiger Woods and we won’t have to work! He has also joined the 1st Mandurah cub pack and loves every moment of that.

Clare has been riding once; it was very different to the UK. She is trying finding a different riding school, but at least she has found the two horse shops that are in Mandurah!

I’m off to the WACA tomorrow to watch the 3rd day’s play between Australia and South Africa. No sign of any rain, so it will be the complete opposite of sitting watching the rain fall at Canterbury!!

Harry and I went to watch the Perth Glory (managed by former Millwall player Dave Mitchell) beat Melbourne (captained by former Millwall player Kevin Muscat). Perth won 3-1 and we are looking forward to the next home game against Adelaide.

Along with new friends Fay and Gary, we went to watch the Perth Wildcats beat Adelaide in the National Basketball league. Another good night out, with the exception of the 4 mile hike from the train station to the stadium……We called a cab to get back to the station!!!!

We got the keys to the new house on Wednesday. There are a few pictures with this posting, so you can get a good idea what the house is like. We HAD to buy a BBQ as well as other furntiture!


Along with the house, we had 4 red back spiders in the garage... Take a look at the link to see what they are like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redback_spider

Looks like I have found a veterans football team to play for…I don’t think news has reached here yet of my super goal scoring record..(That one was just for you Neil!!)

Anyway, if I don’t manage to write anything before the 25th, We all hope that you have a lovely Christmas and hope that some of you will venture out one day to come and see us!
