Got the keys and have started to move in. Our air freight has arrived - hoorah! Finn and Isla have been reunited with their scooters after a long 4 weeks - much excitement ensued! The garden is wonderful and filled with fragrant jasmine and even an orange tree which has 2 oranges on it at the moment. I love it.
Our container has arrived in Sydney, 10-14 days to clear customs and be delivered. After not having a home of our own since January I am immensely excited about unpacking all of our lovely and familiar things and making a home again. Finn cannot believe how long he has been without his toys and talk of the famous container arriving is now an every day occurrence.
Andy has a job - double hoorah! It's a great position working for an American International company. He really wanted it and the benefit package is great. Happy days.
So, back to our new home. A few pictures from today before we fill it with all of our things.
Good times - Finn & Isla with their air freight toys.
A kitchen to call my own....it's all mine...!
Open plan living
The front aspect!
Covered terrace at the front
The lovely garden backs onto the reserve full of gum trees teeming with parrots and kookaburras. Finn & Isla love it (....so do I)!
Patio begging for little peoples bikes
The best bit as summer is coming....
Looks lovely! So exciting to get settled in a new place. What part of Sydney are you in?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny,
ReplyDeleteThanks - I'm sure we will have a lovely time there. We are up in The Hills - around 30k's from Sydney centre. Loved the area when we drove up here and the school's look good. How are you adjusting to a family of 5?
S :)
Sarah, the house looks lovely! Perfect for children! I am so happy that you guys are getting settled and I am so excited that your container will be arriving shortly - I am still in the throes of unpacking and loving every exhausting second of it!
ReplyDeleteWe just had some friends over to visit yesterday and we took a picnic on the reserve... They have two little ones and we had a great time playing ball etc... If you feel in the mood for a picnic sometime soon, we would love to have you down for a visit :)
Hi, it all sounds and looks absolutely wonderful, it made me feel excited for you all, just reading about it. You have done well.
ReplyDeleteLove Linda.
Just catching up on the posts since you arrived - looks like you've had an awesome time exploring the place, the photos are great. You'll be glad you got a pool too :-) Summer's coming fast.
ReplyDelete@Mimi - have been in organising heaven today. Just our suitcases and air freight but I have made a good stab at filling the built in robes (love them!). A meet up would be lovely - need to be able to message you or something - not quite sure how to do that without publishing in the blog...ideas?
ReplyDelete@Linda - thanks, it has been very hectic but we feel like we are getting somewhere now. It's so nice to have a home again! Hope you are both well. S xx
@Nadiah - thanks, so looking forward to weather warming up and the children and us getting in there! I can confirm the water is still a little chilled! :)
