We're Baaaa-ack!

Well, we're finally back on Aussie soil - it is nice to be home.

After Jerusalem, we flew back to London for a few days, where we stayed with our good friend Kate Butcher and (our) new friend, Simon. We also spent time with Ben and Hanna, who trained it up from Exeter.

We visited some of our old fave places, mainly the new Primark on Oxford Street and Covent Garden area.
It was great to catch up with some old mates we hadn't seen in a long time and get one last dose of London life before heading back to Australia.

We were met at the Airport by 11 family members, 1 of which we hadn't met before, our little niece, Gemma Lee Oliver. She is soooo cute, and soon to have a cousin to play with too! ; )

We've spent the last few days sleeping, surprising friends and family, celebrating Sarah's 25th Birthday and seeing the old sites of Geelong and the Bellarine (I don't like that, it's the Bellarine Peninsular!!!)
Things really haven't changed much in 18 months, a few more traffic lights here and there, lots of palm trees, new shops, changed shops. It is greener than we thought, but I think we arrived just in time for that. I can't believe how green it really is!
Most people are the same, some bigger, some smaller, some grey-er... ; ) I think we've changed more than people here. Which is a very good thing (for us).


To all of you who we have seen - it's great to see you again; to all those we're yet to catch up with - we look forward to seeing you, contact us to catch up soon!


It is nice to be home.




Stay tuned for more photos from the land of Milk and Honey - Israel!

Well we trust that you have settled in at home sweet home now. It feels like forever since we played together in London. Cant wait to see some pictures of the baby and of Sarhas growing belly! How cool is it that you are going to have a baby at the same time as Jacqui! How exciting. Miss you both heaps.
Lots a love
