  • Definitely coming along! Hope the downpour didn’t get to you later in the morning? I got drenched at the markets, but returned with a rather laden basket. =D

  • I’d like to add for the record that I didn’t get ANY of the delicious looking puff pastry pizza, it was all gone by the time i got home, apparently Andy tried to leave some for me but it was getting soft so he ‘had’ to eat it. A likely story…

Year 1 Done and Dusted

Believe it or not, we have been in Ermington for 1 whole year! Time flies when your having fun.

We went out to our local to celebrate. Twas nice :)

The plans for year two:

  • Get the driveway done
  • Get the treads in the front yard
  • Get the hedge planted
  • Get the Citrus trees planted
  • Get the fence fixed (so we can keep chewy here while over seas)
  • Get the Kitchenette done

And Hopefully…

  • Get the window in the master bedroom replaced,
  • Get the front door replaced
  • Get the shed roof and walls reclad

and maybe even get the bathroom finished…

Sorry we haven’t blogged in ages. We just suck. Lots has happened… Shutters are done… Pool table is set up in the shed… We got a fridge given to us… I have gone back to Stock Control @ work… bought lots of Japanese Buxus from Grays Online to make a hedge in the front yard… got another 3 pallets of slightly damaged (but free)Treads delivered home which should be enough to complete the retaining wall.

I’ll try not to leave it too long before blogging again!
