The decision to come to Australia wasn't an easy one. This year is costing us dearly in many ways, not just financially. For a while we considered giving the whole thing up and staying in the UK.
When we arrived, things were pretty grim. You probably got that impression from the blog, but you can double that. If I'd told you the whole story; how unsettled Ella had been, how she had woken me three and four times per night crying "Mummy", just wanting a cuddle, how she'd constantly asked about "home" and about "Becky and Jon and the children", you'd have had a better idea. She knew we were miserable. She was miserable too. It made us question what we'd done.
We didn't want to upset the grannies, so we didn't tell you.
When I look at these photos, I know we made the right choice in the end, whatever the cost. I reckon we might be having the time of our lives. Australia is the most amazing continent. We don't take a single minute of this for granted - we're very lucky and we know it.

Sarah, those photos are GORGEOUS. I'm so glad it's working out. As much as we'd love you home, you could never have passed up this opportunity.
Miss you all loads,
