And Life Goes On

So. Here we are. Loving life.

Getting down and dirty in the garden... with any luck I'll have potatoes by Christmas! Other wonderful vegetables have been planted as well as an herb garden and all this pleases us no end.

Lloyd has a loose tooth! Discovered that on my birthday. No one wants to pull it out so it's hanging in there. He keeps saying, "tomorrow we'll do it". As you all know, tomorrow never quite makes it so there you go. There's no way I'm pulling it out EVER so we'll just let it come out when it's good and ready.

Hard to believe he's in his last term for Year One at school. Amazing.

Also amazing is how content I am. Having our own house and being surrounding by all our things (and my oh my do we have a lot of things!) has made all the difference in the world. We feel like we've been here a long time, not the few weeks it's been.

Still hard to believe I can't plan an impromptu visit to any of you. Doesn't bear much thinking about really because there's nothing anyone can do about it. But! Skype has been a lifesaver and so have the packages we've received. Thank you with all my heart for the time, expense and, most of all, thought that has gone into everything that has been sent.

Just harvested the celery and some spring onions (they were here and growing when we arrived) so best go get it all washed and ready for consumption!
