5 months into life in Sydney

Morning all

We just thought we would give a little update after being here in Sydney for 5 months.

We're fully settled into the flat now and we've kitted it out with all the essentials, and we even ordered a dozed canvas prints of our travels, which is a nice reminder of the places we've seen and people we've met.

Sarah is going yacht racing every Saturday with the team out of Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and most Sunday's we are off doing something and seeing different places.

We said goodbye to James' parents (Joanne and Ted) a few weeks ago who were here on and off for 2 months so the flat does seem a little quiet.

During that time we've also been to several music festivals, Hamilton Island, Hunter Valley, Bondi, Manly, Coogee, Palm Beach, plus exploring the local suburbs of Sydney (local restaurants and bars!) Sarah saw Lady Gaga a few weeks back and we saw Flight of the Conchords last week, we've also booked to see Ben Harper at the Opera House which is cool.

We plan to go to the Blue Mountains soon and are in the process of booking a big trip to Mudgee Wine area with our friends for a weekend away. So life is good and full of exciting people and things to see.

In October Sarah is heading back to the UK for her Birthday (27th October to 9th Nov)... So watch this space... Lawton party on the 4th November!!! Yehaa!

That's all for now!
