We have arrived

17 Dec 2014

 Today would have been dear mums birthday, love you mum xxx

We arrived last Friday the 12th, Yasmine and Rory met us at the airport and a short trip back to Yasmine and Adam's and we were home. It was wonderful seeing them and yes there were tears at the airport when I saw Yasmine however they were tears of joy. Rory

finished school yesterday the 16th and is now on holidays until school returns early February, he will be having a teacher he has already had before and he did so well under her, here's hoping he does the same next year. The weather is alot cooler here and we are feeling it a fair bit, however in saying that it is great not having the humidity. Brian has developed a bloody chest infection so is coughing and spluttering and keeping everyone awake at night time with the coughing :-( . We went over to have a look at the motel earlier in the week it is going to be fine, it is very open airy and light and not on the road end of the block, we move there on the 23rd. This afternoon Brian and I along with Rory and his little mate went over to see Rosie and Bill for an hour, was great to catch up and see all their new alterations to the house and outside after the damage they received from the quakes. The boys had a picnic under the trees at a small table, they were in their element chatting away and digging in the dirt - BOYS. We left there in plenty of time to get back across to Hornby as Rory's friend had Softball practise and we had to collect Yasmine from work.
