Hi everyone,
Yay - I'm back online!! It may have only been 4 weeks but it does feel like a lifetime. You don't realise how much you rely on the internet until you don't have it. We had a few hiccups getting it connected but now we are all set up.
Sooooo.... here we are in beautiful Port Macquarie on the NSW mid north coast. As relocating goes, I think we did pretty well. Our furniture and all 308 boxes arrived intact and we moved into our house 2 weeks ago. We are doing some renovations and unpacking and seem to have put a dent in the amount of boxes stacked up.
This photo is very unbecoming but this is what you get when you have teenage daughters with cameras. LOL
See I told you - very unbecoming!! I think this was about day 3 of moving in. It was hot, there were still heaps of boxes everywhere and I decided to have a break amongst the mess. The interesting head wear was the TV liftout... like I said, it was hot!!!! Hhmm... since then I have located the box with sunhats.
The girls have settled in well and are already at their new schools. The great thing about living on the coast is there are beaches everywhere you go. Of course it is still a novelty for my girls so we do the beach stop off on the way home from school. Here's Aimee going in for a wade in her school tunic. I get a few strange looks as I navigate the sand on crutches - LOL
Even the studio buddy has put in a good effort as a 'beach' dog. I'm not quite game enough to let her off leash yet - Lighthouse beach is a very looooong beach and I may never catch her again [giggle].
In other news, the builders are working on the plans for my new studio so hopefully that will be underway soon. I'm desperate to get all my supplies out again for a play. At present the studio boxes are all stacked up in one corner and I know if I start opening them I won't get the rest of the unpacking done. They will be my reward for setting up our new home.
Doesn't this picture of town beach look peaceful?
Naturally there will be things we miss in the city (family and friends would be at the top of the list) but the many benefits of making the sea change outweigh the negatives.
Life is an adventure to be lived and we are certainly having the time of our life.
So, until my next update, I will be unpacking boxes and walking the beach.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
