Well we are finally settled in the new house and given the keys back to the old house earlier today. It is such a relief to have it all over and to now be able to concentrate on just once house and our new life here.

It is amazing, we have hardly moved away from where we used to live, just some 6 kilometres approx, but the different in the winds – or lack of them! – is incredible. I guess being on the other side of the Derwent river has its advantages.

We also have a much smaller yard now, but thankfully this one is usable and landscaped, which actually means that we have a lot more area to use and enjoy. We can also have a BBQ now as we don’t get such horrible winds and also the children can have their netball ring assembled again and use it.

Now all we need is an outside table and a few chairs to be able to sit outside and enjoy life.
