Great get-together - well done Sophia!!
Big thanks to Sophia for organising yesterday's get-together, and for bravely suggesting we meet up at her house instead of Rockingham beach (because it was so windy). There were a lot of us Poms! Whatever did your neighbours think Soph?!
Some of the Expats we'd met before at the last do, and it was great to meet some of the new arrivals, the Garretts, Abergas, Yvsie, Baldbutts are some posters who spring to mind. Sorry to all those parents who are now being badgered to buy a puppy (we bought our little Toby along and all the kids fell in love with him!) Baldbutts, Andy says he looks forward to comparing some more Ozzie beers again with you another night!!

Thanks guys
It turned out to be a great day!! Shame about the wind though, blimey it was cold!!
I think another highlight (apart from the dogs) for some of the kids was the appearance of yet another frog in our back garden....they seemed enchanted with it!! I'm convinced it's the same one we keep evicting so I'm going to mark it with a marker pen next time!!
The house has more or less returned to normal now, mind, the dishwasher has been on non-stop since then and Gareth is stubbornly refusing to clean the barbie!!! EEEWWW!
We'll have to do it again soon...and hopefully we'll get the weather for it next time!!
Hope Hevs & HUP have managed to get their campervan sorted. They enjoyed meeting everyone and are now, I believe, on their way to Geraldton.
Sorry guys, no pictures, no paparazzi allowed!
As for t'neighbours, they probably thought we were having a tupperware party!!!
Great to meet some of the new arrivals and fab to see the old faces again too (not literally of course!!)
love sophia xxxx
