FIRST WEEK

First Week

Yes it will be two weeks tomorrow seem like we have been here for years isnt it strange how quickly you remember your surroundings we have just returned from the shops (which here there are plenty including fishing tackle the best one is BCF boating , camping fishing all under one roof its as big as two football pitches ) anyway we have just returned from Noreen type shopping

to do this we borrow Mary's car quite a large automatic so in a short run I had to get use to the automatic, road signs, ausi drivers, and the setting sun, still we hae returned didnt get lost and no scrapes even though the precinct car park is underground and as tight as a rabbits warren

The hard part of the week was the two days blues festival we were both still in jet lag mode having just spent three days travelling But I would not have missed it for the world what a fantastic two days But it did leave us quite exhausted for the rest of the week so we hae been very lazy I have been on three fishing trips two with Roger and one by myself and if you think driving a car for the first time is nervy try sailing a strange boat in strange waters But I got out caught some fish and returned with everything intact. From the house I have about 25min sailing on the canal to get out to the Broad Water, the canal is wonderful; All this land was once swamp then the developers moved in they first built a canal system as a meens of draining the land then divided up into plots for house building so now the canals are lined with some fantastic houses this being one all with pools and private jetties it really a wonderful place for those who like water as we do

The rest of the from your perspective has been boring because we have just been visiting old haunts and getting accustomed to our new habitat though I have some great pics to show

God Bless you all
