New Home

Andrew (our new vicar) picked us up from the airport and took us to our new house. We were so amazed when we walked in; it has 2 bedrooms, bathroom, garage with a study area and a kitchen/dining/living area and it was completely furnished! The cupboards were stocked with food, people had made cakes and brought flowers and we felt so welcome.
When we'd unpacked our stuff it began to feel like 'home' very quickly.

We've spent the last few days since arriving settling in. We've met lots of people (not sure how many names we'll remember) and have done practical things like get a bank account and buy a map!

The weather has been glorious - crisp mornings but the sun is really warm. We went to the beach yesterday (Neil was excited about the prospect of surfing, Natalie collected interesting shells & driftwood!)and to the cinema. Next week looks like a trip to a nearby ski field is planned...

We have got photos from all the places we've been but as yet have not mastered the technology - watch this space!
