Our little house

Where does the name of the blog come from? Leon and I having a joke with a glass of red wine. We think it sounds rather cool. What we do on a Friday night for fun.

 

 

We landed back in the UK on the 2 August. It felt so wonderful to be back. The welcome we had from friends was amazing.

 

Our house which we own is still been rented out so we had to find another house. Been close to the schools was our major concern. My friend Melissa went and had a look at the house to make sure all four walls were still there before we signed the lease. Been so close to the high street is wonderful. I walk everywhere.

 

 

 

 

Our little house

Our new car.

I have so many pots that I needed to fill them up to get more space in the shed. I do love my pretty flowers again. No creatures wondering around to have a nibble.

Every room has a fire place, but not in working order. Not a chance in hell I would be clearing fire places out everyday.

Cheeky Victoria in her room



No built in cupboards. My clothes are in a tiny closet to the side of the bed. i refuse to buy cupboards so friends have lent us some rail till be buy again.

Our lounge which looks just the same as it did in America

The joys of a washing line. No dirty looks from the neighbours while I air dry all our clothes. Off course only when the sun is shining.

Check out the crazy wall paper. Not my choice at all, but you got what you got.

Once a week on a Friday morning , a group of moms meet and we hit the cycle paths and disused railway lines for a bike ride. I cant tell you how amazing it feels been out in the country. No cars so a lot more relaxing.

We stopped to admire the view. Of course a chat

The bike gang

I love the trees acting as an umbrella over the cycle path.

So what have I been doing with my time? I play tennis twice a week, which is fantastic. Loving my new racket. Work a few hours. Afternoons consumed with homework and extra activities. Kara and Victoria have done an amazing job settling back into school. Victoria has had some tough moments but hopefully that will be sorted out soon. Kara is now in grade 5/ year 5 and Victoria grade 3/year 3. We have a maths tutor which help Kara once a week. Mrs Warner is lovely and every time I see her my heart does a little jingle because she looks just like my granny. Wow all the little ticks the kids get taught now to make maths easier, really wonderful.

We had our appeal to try get the kids into the same school on Thursday. It was so scary but hopefully it will all work out well.

Victoria will be enrolling as a Brownie next week. They quite strict with uniforms but they look quite smart.

With the 7 seater car we load all the girlie's into the car for a play date. We had 5 little madams running around the house

Pesto pasta is the meal of the house
