New Friends

A peek at our front garden..................

Well this is my first post so apologies for the paucity of wit and totally random facts as seen in Larry's previous blogs! Life here seems to be going quite well - we are really enjoying decorating our own house at last and are very proud of our newly finished bedroom (just boring beige - Emma W I hope you are proud! - but we love it). We now also have our new bedroom furniture - our bed is stupidly large (it didn't look that big in the showroom) and we may have made a mistake as we will never be able to afford a house with a bedroom big enough when we return to England!


Last Sunday we tried a different church which we liked and was so friendly that we ended up having dinner that very evening with two couples from the church. Dan also now has a friend his own age - Ethan - who came over to play today with his two sisters. Dan starts school on Monday (in the usual Lorden fashion we have yet to purchase a full set of uniform). The school is 5 miles away from our house so I'll definately need to get my act together with the driving. (incidentally - Larry got 97% in his driving theory test - what a swot!).

I have not been out and about much with the kids this week as the weather has been grey and wet (similar to home i hear).
We are very contented but do miss all our family and friends at home - thankyou for all your support - we have had lots of cards, calls and e-mails. One downside is that we have had 2 maggot incidents - one each for Larry and myself......................................................................................
