Hi everyone,
It's Christmas again and even though I got an early start on my Christmas preparations and greetings, as fate would have it, my technology skills came unstuck and I wasn't able to send my ecard successfully. So I'm resorting to blogging again which I realised when I opened up my blog, hadn't been added to since January. Ah well. . . . . .
2012 has been a busy year. Having arrived back in the West in May, I set about finding some work at a couple of local schools and buying a place in Mandurah. It's a lovely house, situated near the estuary and is only two years old. I moved in mid September and have spent many happy hours unpacking, rearranging things and generally settling in. The garden doesn't take up too much of my time as it's quite small and so far I've managed to keep it tidy, feed and mulch the rose bed, weed the garden box out the back and put down some artificial turf near the flower bed. It's all looking good. I've also enjoyed catching up with family and friends and doing some dance classes and the odd bit of entertaining. My new kitchen is fabulous to work in.
I've had a couple of visitors from the east, including Lenny and Trish from the Gold Coast and Julanne from Mooloolaba (ex teacher buddy from Caningeraba) who stayed for a few days. I got a chance to show her around Mandurah, Harvey, Rockingham, Fremantle, Kings Park and parts of our beautiful Swan River. I have plenty of spare room for any other visitors thinking of making the journey over to the West. I'd love to see you here.
The family is all well and we plan to get together on Sunday just before Christmas. Sooooo . . . .

I WISH FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY, HEALTHY 2013!!!!

Lots of love from Julianne
