Our Life Down Under

Hello All, Val here,

My first post on this site.  Just to let everyone know I am now the proud owner of a ‘Permanent Residency Visa’, at long last…..

We wish you all a very safe and happy Christmas.

Big thanks to everyone for the texts, comments, emails and phone calls.

Just had 3 hours sleep. Now I’m off to pick Ella up and go back to the hospital. Very excited to introduce Ella to her new sister.

Should have some more pictures of all that later.

Update – Site now fixed.
