look at what i have to contend with everyday!

around our new neighbourhood

walking around our neighbourhood is so relaxing, once you get off the main 6 lane freeway on which we are situated. i went for a wonder up to our local post office the other day and took my camera with me to show you some of the sites.
these little workers cottages look small from the front but they actually go a long way back often with 3 bedrooms including living room, bathroom, kitchen and back garden. no chance in being able to afford one of these little gems, they are going for no less than $700,000 (appox £300,000)...

...so no chance in obtaining this 2 storey house.

our little post office on the corner past the tall building.

and the street i walk down; i didn't realise how much i missed the australian flora. these stringy barks are just amazing with their distinctive bark and cascading leaves. eventhough the gardens have mostly english roses and plants a few do plant native flowers and trees...i am on the look out.

melbourne and the big wedding day

ed has been posting a lot about dubai so i'll let you look at his blog: ed's blog.

so we arrived in melbourne and hit the lanes, these lanes are full of grafitti some amazing, some just bad tags but on the whole they are worth checking out. on most saturdays you will see at least one wedding party having there wedding photos taken here.

aaaahhhh federation square; full of bars, restaurants and galleries. unfortunately we just missed the pixar exhibition at ACMI

the food is great as well. this fish was served up to us at a restaurant called claypots in st. kilda

THE WEDDING!
and so the last 3 weeks have been leading up to drue and sarah's wedding on saturday 3rd november. it was a brilliant day and thankfully the sun was out and the electrical storm held off until late in the night.

peter, drue and andrew: the main men of the day

dad pulled it out of the bag again and made a great speech.

the first dance went down a treat and was worth the lessons - smoooooooooooth.
