It's hard to believe it has almost been one and a half months since we have been here. It has been really good. Neil and I feel like we are still unwinding from a very stressful time. We look back and think that things were more stressful and crazy then we realized at that time. Maybe it's because we are now surrounded by nature with no agenda.






The kids seem to be doing well and not too much affected. Cameron just started nursery 2 weeks ago, so that is a bit tiring for him (and we're in this nap or no-nap period where it seems he really needs his nap but if he gets one it takes ages for him to fall asleep at night). He's been outside playing at almost every opportunity and it's so nice to let him play outside without having to be out there with him every second. He can even ride his bike without sidewheels now!

(can you imagine striping down to play in the ocean in a more beautiful place? just a bit chilly...)

I spend a lot of time right here (the kitchen sink, especially now that we don't have a dishwasher. boohoo). At least I've got some friends keeping me company.
It's been good (so far) to have a slower, simpler pace of life and be away from the stress of the city. It's easy to forget when you're in it what a negative impact traffic, supermarket busyness and especially rushing for things can have on your life. Now if all those fantastic people we had to leave behind could move over here too, life would really be perfect.
