Time’s flying by quickly, but we’re settling in and getting used to the different colours, the different environment and the different weather in NZ.
After more than 2 years in the Falklands (which have a semi-arid climate) followed by a year in the desert, the rain is one of the most novel things to us – especially to the kids who don’t really remember rain! The good thing about it is that it creates all this GREEN around us. We’re living in a very beautiful place. Molly’s been extremely tired and overwhelmed at times, but is enjoying school, has kicked back into ballet lessons and has joined her school Kapa Haka Group too. Meanwhile, Alfie has started gymnastics and is seriously proud of his strong arms, while I just love watching his wobbly efforts on the bar and balancing (aka shuffling) on the high beam – so cute!
The house is slowly coming together, although the dining table is yet to be re-assembled due to lack of tools – this means we haven’t eaten a meal sitting down for 10 days now. Standing up must be good for your digestion though?
We also very quickly need to purchase some beds as we only have one at the moment, and our first house guest arrives tomorrow – at the moment he is only vaguely aware that he will not be staying in great comfort, and we do hope he is brave enough to come back again later in the year when we can offer him a real bed and a more furnished house!
