Dear All
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and hope that 2015 is
a fantastic year for you all.
We’ve had a great few weeks, enjoying time catching up with
Steve’s sister Jane and family – kids having a ball playing with their
cousins! We spent Christmas in the
housesit near Nerang which was really lovely – great swimming pool and
wonderful animals that we fell in love with.
2 gorgeous British bulldogs, 4 very friendly cows, ducks and
chooks! Could get used to the country
life! The housesit came to an end
earlier than expected as the owners who were camping, got rained out! That worked out well however, as we were able
to catch up with our good friend Raewyn who we’ve not seen for a couple of
years so it was a bonus to be able to see her whilst she is doing a housesit
just south of Armidale. We had a lovely
day out to Oxley River National Park with some beautiful waterfalls and walks,
delicious picnic and wonderful company!
We are now at Muswellbrook, NSW and have been able to
catch up with other friends we met on the road, in SA so its been great to have
a few days here. We’ve had a shopping
day to prepare for the return to school and both girls are very excited to be
going to school soon. Actually that’s not
100% true….Meggie is very excited to be starting big school but Rosie is just
keen to see all her friends again!
And so we come to the end of our magical year. When we left, it really felt like the year
would last forever and we’ve had a wonderful journey together as a family. Much laughter, some tears and heaps of wonderful
memories!! We are sad the trip is coming
to an end but with such great friends and family in Sydney, we really are
excited to be coming home and seeing everyone again. Just such a shame our family and friends in
the UK and America aren’t closer so we could see them too!
So, this will be the last installment of the 2014 McCookie
travels!....its not quite over yet…we are really looking forward to catching up
with Sal in Tilba and will then head back to Sydney.
Looking forward to seeing you back in Sydney real soon!
Take care
