It’s a slow, sweaty, overcast boxing day here in the Barra. Ryan is out wrestling with a diamond back python, taking a break from whipper snippering our incredibly overgrown veggie patch. Noah is on his new Christmas trampoline which we have all been excitedly calling ‘tramapoline’ and I am writing this post from the Dairy!!! That’s right folks, we is in! I have one word to describe living down here: AWESOME. We moved in on our 7th Dec (self imposed) deadline, which was an exact year from our arrival and my birthday, very auspicious. Thanks to all the Plaggarians that helped move us in. Love yous.
We had a pretty low key Christmas day. Had turkey lunch with mum and dad, then went for a nice long walk in the evening. We had a Christmas eve get together up the mountain at Bryony’s, with all the lovely PLAGGA people.
We have been flat out finishing off the dairy so there hasn’t been much time for anything else. Nose has finished pre-school for the year, complete with graduation, disco and Santa visit (where N hid under the table and refused to come out even with lolly incentive). We still have playgroup out here every Fri where two mums take turns in looking after all the kids for the day. Great ladies (and gents) and a fantastic little group of kids for Noah to grow up with, including two more on the way (Chay and Bryony, not me!) Ryan still busy at Bev’s in Port Macquarie helping her build a studio with Jimbo. PLAGGA is still going strong, tackling such daunting projects as trail building, construction of an enclosed orchard (well starting it) and and building a cow proof fence.
Hope everyone has had a great Christmas. Thinking of all my old Freo crew and missing you all heeeeeaps! Congrats to Son and Claire on your mum to be statuses, Sonny you must be nearly ready to pop! If anyone from Freo ever reads this blog I would love some good old fashion gossip: births, deaths, raunchy affairs?
Will try and update this more regular like, as now we are in the dairy things should slow down a little (yeah right!!)
