a new year

oops...long time between posts isn't it??

Ok fresh new start! I'll try not to leave it 7 months next time.

Here's a really quick update on things that have happened since August last year:

Our recent travels:

The Netherlands, Belgium (Bruges) and Germany (Cologne) with Celia, Julian, Linda, Grace for Xmas 07.

Di's news:
Full time position teaching Yr 4 at an East london school in Essex. Really loving it but very tiring and demanding. I prefer supply but having own class is very special. Kids are great, staff are great. Weather is not great.

Ed's news:
Still working for insurance company in Essex. Enjoying work, great workmates. Applied for HSMP visa, waiting for it to come through. Sick often, please pray for health!

In general:
We miss everyone back home, miss Aussie weather, aussie food, aussie people! Not sure how much longer we will stay here but should be back by the end of this year.
Settled into a great church in which we are really enjoying being part of. Have made some fantastic friends. Good thing most of them are Aussies so it means we'll see them again one day! For those that aren't, well we're trying to persuade them to move to Oz.
