Well Hello...its been a while!

Hello all from "Sunny Queensland"

It has been a while since our last "post" and honestly we don't have a good excuse, except to say that work and house hold chores have kept us busy....... it seems to be a never ending process, the weeds are taking over the garden. My mother is arriving from NZ on Friday, so we are madly trying to look like we are in control!!! - tidy house, tidy garden, everything in order.....hmmm.......

We have had amazing weather here of late - the average temperature has been mid 30 degrees (c) our pool is a lovely 33 degrees (c) - I can tell you that there is nothing better than coming in from work, undressing as you walk thru the house, stopping to grab a Gin and Tonic, then out into the pool. The hardest part is trying to decide what we will throw on the BBQ for dinner.

It has been a crazy 5 weeks since all our wedding visitors left, and I am madly trying to catch up on ordering wedding photos, doing thank you cards, as well as keeping the house in order.....Rachel come back!!!!! We had an absolute ball, and it was fantastic to have the "Pine" family all in one place together. I hope that it is not such a long time to wait until we can all be together again.

I don't even have much news - other than, I have been reading Rachel's blog, and laughing at her show and tell with all her purchases in Australia & NZ, I must find the pictures of her trying to put everything in her suitcase - watch this space, needless to say, that we ended up posting 8KG's back in a box to the UK. I have loved catching up on Allie, and Debbie's blogs from the UK, It is great to hear what you guys have been up to, and Allie - your news is fantastic, sending you lots of hugs and kisses from Australia - I look forward to reading the progress reports.

Well my loves, must away - it is after my bedtime, but just wanted to let you all know we are both still alive, and promise to put some more wedding photos up soon..... I am getting a bit of a hard time from this end - so I will do it just to shut you all up!

Linley - if you are reading this, like you had to explain who you were!!!!! - keep your eyes peel so you can see how my sister scrubbed up!...... and yes I remember those maths classes at Rangi Ruru school for fine young ladies - what do you think happened to us????

Must away - loads of Aussie love ......... xxxxxx
