Well read about a photo competition so though..'Why not'!??
The theme was Langhorne Creek - so I dragged the family out for the day :) Stopping the car at any given opportunity and we came across a winery that had barrels and an old wagon out the front! Perfect :)
Out of 186 submitted photos, one of mine has come in the top 25 for voting!! Wooo :)
Voting is on until the 20th July 2011 so get voting at: http://www.langhornewine.com.au/news/2011-photo
Mine is the wagon on page 2 (hover mouse over the picture and it says my name!)
Thank you xx

July already!?
Well how did that happen!?? July already and coming up to the 8 month mark!
So what have we been up to?,...
Our old banger died a week before getting our new car so that was a pain - but also a relief that we had it sorted!
I have got involved with the Blackwood photography club and we have done a few events and competitions now - tend to post my pics on flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/yvonnesears)
and getting my head (slowly) around photoshop.
I have also joined a gym and started dance classes... with my 2 left feet and total unco-ordination, it is very difficult!
But good exercise and I need to work off those goodbye meals, BBQ's & xmas dinner!!! (just so I can get on and enjoy those BBQ's in the summer!)
My brother and his partner came down over Easter, it was really nice having them down, and of course we did they tourist activities which we had put off. Ade was really impressed to see dolphins on our dog walk :)
Sadly we found out Kandy got run over and died, so feel really guilty and question whether we did the right thing. Was so sad - i cried myself to sleep that night, plus I was away in Melbourne on my own, very hard. I will miss her RIP Kandy baby :(
Kids are doing well at school and the nagging seems to be working ;)
Both settling in well which is great.
It is important to put yourself out and go and make friends / do activities etc... to get involved, I'm loving finally having a life and getting out, very much looking forward to meeting up with the Pommie Princesses as there are a few like minded people around, will be good to start making some true friends now I am able to stay local longer than once a month!
All in all, I'm happy, glad we made the move and time has really flown by.
Still think of you guys in the UK a lot and certain times such as weddings, birthdays and births does make it hard, feeling we are all the way out here, but there is so much to see of the world - this is just the beginning of our adventure!
***I'll try not to leave the post too long next time!!****

Shaggy Dog Story
how can I forget!?
Keira was knackered when we picked her up - like she had spent the last month awake! Poor thing - plus she stank!!
Decided to get her hair cut n full works - she even came back with a little bow in her hair!! Smelt like lavendar and looks like a puppy :0D
She LOVES the beach! Runs around like a luney, eats the sand and paddles in the sea (until she gets a sudden wave!)
