A lovely trip to Barcelona for our 1st wedding anniversary - and a bank holiday weekend utilised well 
A quick trip home - alone 
- for Beck and Andrew’s wedding and it proved far too short! Cramming in some much craved family time and of course, a beautiful wedding, my 5 whole days were well spent. Read the rest of this entry »
Everyone who knows me understands that I have a fear of heights. The first time I that needed 3 pairs of jocks was on my 20th birthday, when my “friends” thought it would be a great present to get me a sky diving jump. Again, the ones close to me always know how to make me smile. ‘Go Ape’ is an adventure that is supposed to be fun and different. A HUGE WEDGIE later, I am still deciding if jumping off a tree top and checking if I damaged my crown jewels was fun.
Typical isn’t it? It snows in London twice - and we’re away when it happens both times! This last time (weekend just passed), a friend emailed us with a photo - so at least we could see what it looked like! We were also lucky enough to be on the Eurostar train, coming back to London through Northern France and West England. We saw the most spectacular sight - snow covered countryside! It was gorgeous and we are spewing we didn’t get the camera out to take some shots. Though, we’re not sure how much you would see in the photo from a fast moving train through a window!
So the last 3 weekends, we’ve been making the most of living in Europe. Perhaps a little too much! First was Berlin for Easter, then Austria with the family for a long weekend and this last weekend we were off to Belgium for a normal-size weekend
At last we got to meet the Kuttner family in Austria! We spent a long weekend in this beautiful country and want to visit again next year - for longer next time! It was so wonderful to finally meet the family, they were so warm and welcoming and made us feel like a part of the family from the minute we arrived! Fritz said Kim and I had a problem with our diet though - we drink water and not beer
When asked about Berlin the first thing that comes to mind is a city known for the wall that divided a nation. With the wall behind them, Berlin has really become a modern city with some impressive architecture and very a important story to tell.
So, just another update on the daily happenings around our neck of the woods. We’ve been here for just over 8 months now and we’re well and truly into the swing of ‘English’ life. Most people would say that the cultures are similar, but as someone said to me the other day, it’s quite odd how they’re not. Sure, you don’t have a language barrier (well, that’s debatable), but there are quite a few differences in lifestyle. For example, it’s (almost) unheard of to play sport after work. Gym - yes. Sport? Isn’t that what Aussies and Saffa’s do?
Josh’s album has been updated with Chrissy and his 2nd birthday for anyone who hasn’t had enough of him. Is that even possible?!
We’ve also updated with all our latest travels, Chinese New Year and Regina’s going away party
