A year of firsts, a year of learning, and a year of mostly winging it! It’s doesn’t feel like a year since I closed the door for the last time at Aveley Gardens and we said our final goodbyes to our family and friends. A year since we left the street the kids loved andContinue reading “One Year on…”

All things pass …
I said in my last blog that I would try to keep the updates more frequent but we’ve been so busy with school and day to day life that I haven’t found the time to just sit and gather my thoughts. If I’m honest with myself, some days it has been easier to not thinkContinue reading “All things pass …”
It’s been a minute or two.. and now it’s almost 2023!
I always wanted to keep people regularly updated with how things are going, the ups and downs, new experiences and how we’re all adjusting. It’s been a busy few months with visitors and I always need to be in the right head space to get everything out. It’s like a form of therapy for me,Continue reading “It’s been a minute or two.. and now it’s almost 2023!”
Who cries over fridge magnets?
Me! It had been 11 weeks since the movers came and loaded our belongings up to be shipped to Dubai. It was such a relief to get the email to arrange delivery and we were all really excited to see everything again. James played a massive part in getting it here, I know that ifContinue reading “Who cries over fridge magnets?”
Courage comes first, confidence comes second
I dont know were to start. It’s been a while now since I did our last update. Time flies when you’re having fun as they say and it’s true, we have been having loads of fun together as a family. However, it’s not all been a bed of roses and brunches. There have been someContinue reading “Courage comes first, confidence comes second”
It will all fall into place
Weeks 5 & 6 I seem to be getting later and later with these updates so I thought I would combine the last two weeks. We finally have WiFi and blinds up, I can’t even go into the saga around the blinds, but they are up and they are great and we can finally sleepContinue reading “It will all fall into place”
We can only look forward
Week 4 Like most people, I always start Mondays with the mindset of a new week, a new me, and ready to take on the world! However, it wasn’t long before I found myself letting myself into someone else’s car on the school run, much to the surprise of the man sitting in the driver’sContinue reading “We can only look forward”
A new week, a new school, a new home
After what has felt like the longest summer holidays to date, it was finally time for the kids to go back to school. They were really excited but also really nervous to be starting a new school. This whole process has been so daunting for us, I can’t even imagine how it must feel forContinue reading “A new week, a new school, a new home”
Day by day, step by step
After such a busy and amazing first week it was Monday again and James was back to work. It’s starting to feel less like a holiday now and I have to keep reminding myself that this is our new normal. I’m slowly starting to adjust to it all, it still feels surreal, but wow, we didContinue reading “Day by day, step by step”
Different, but good different
Our first week… From the second we reunited with James at the airport the past 6 weeks faded into the past and a feeling of calm washed over me. We were back together again, ready for a new adventure. My first thought was, WOW, it’s really hot! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced heat likeContinue reading “Different, but good different”
