Hi all …. we have decided as we are so far away from soo many friends … that we would start up a ‘Blog’ …. then you could all read if, and when you want to, all the things we have been up to!   Or not as the case maybe!!

For those that may not know … we have a wonderful new addition to our family over here …. His name is Logan Rhys Griffiths … and he was born on Sunday 2nd September 2007 to Nicole and Nathan .. the oh so Proud Parents { as they should be … he is such a cutie … am I bias or what!!! }   I will attempt to upload a few pictures of him … but as this is all new to me … please forgive me if it all goes wrong and you have to wait till I see one of the computer experts in this family { not that Mike or I are not experts now! } 

                 

We have been quite busy over here ….. firstly we have just got back from Australia .. we went over to Sydney for a week  { didn’t want to stay any longer with our new Grandson being oh so new! }  It was Mike’s Sisters Son Bradley’s Wedding to Amy …a simply lovely young lady …. Bradley’s not too bad either! … The Wedding was really super … the day although a little windy was just perfect … the sun shone at all the right times …. the reception was great .. very comical with Amy’s younger Brother being the ‘compere’ for the evening .. and did he throw himself into the role … he was very good.   After all the festivities the next day was Our 40th Wedding Anniversary!!!   Oh the burden of it all!!  Jesting aside we have had a super 40 years together with lots fun, lots of happiness and lots of moves { as I know you all know }  but life is an adventure … and you don’t know how long it’s going to last so if you have dreams you must go for them as soon as you can like we have …. we have no real regrets on any of our decisions … { Well I have one } .. I do miss my 2 Boys in Spain …. but I do hope to see them both soon in February … which leads to one of our next Big events …. Nicole and Nathans Wedding … we will keep you all posted on this … watch this space as they say!    Very exciting times ahead.  Lots of family and friends coming … can’t wait!

  We are very lucky here .. we have Nicole, Nathan and Logan only about 10 minutes away … and Neil and Patricia are about 20 minutes away … so we all get to see each other quite regularily ….. { Roast dinners are a bit of a pull hehe!! }  and we have such a great collection of friends and neighbours.  { Well some of the neighbours are great … sorry Robin .. not sure what to say hehe. }               Neil and Patricia are doing really well out here …. they have good jobs and are highly thought of in their various professions …. they have just taken up Snow Boarding!  Patricia has also had a go at Surfing … so loves it … she is going again next Sunday … I think Neil might be going as well!      It is a great life for youngsters out here … so much to do … quite diverse  …..  { A quick mention MP, Craig } …. Have found somewhere for you to go Sky Diving MP … and Craig we have our friends boat lined up for you to go Scallop diving!!  oh nearly forgot Craig … think Nathan is quite keen to go Diving with you as well.  

The animals are really loving it here … walks all the time on the beach and out on the reserve at the back of us ….. never had it so good …. and they are all really good with Logan!

                  

I think thats about it for a moment …. Mike is trying to make me feel guilty … he has just announced that he is going to cut the grass! …. so I think I had better go and get doing the potting up of the flowers we bought last week!   

Will try to keep this updated on a regular basis ….. I have the time … I am retired!!! 

 I hope you are all suitably impressed with the pictures I have managed to get attached to this Blog!!     Thanks Nathan for the help!
