Camping with the mazda


  This year our work crew organised a bush camping trip as our Christmas party which was a great idea, the only problem - my 4x4 was off the road (engine rebuild), but I wasn't going to miss out on the fun. So I took my 1975 Mazda for a bit of rally driving.




The car never missed a beat and dirt road driving was fun, the only downfall was that there wasn't much room for camping gear, food and drinks but I managed.

It was good fun but next time I'll be better prepared

We are still here

It's been far too long since our last post on here, but life in general seems to be hectic for everyone come the end of the year and this whole 'parenting' thing just adds to the fun.

Connor is doing great by the way, he discovered he can walk on Christmas day which made it so much more exciting, the downside being now he wants to have me hold his hand to help him wander the house looking for mischief to get up too.

Our families have also come to stay with us for a few days just after Christmas which is always a joy (there isn't a sarcasm font so I used italics). It's not like we don't appreciate the effort of coming out to our neck of the woods, but because I work a 24/7 rotating roster I only get 2 weekends off every month. No one wants to visit while I'm working and between my family, Jamie's' Mum, my brother and Jamie's sister that's 4 separate weekends taken by visits (not including friends who we actually prefer coming to visit). It's just frustrating not getting time to ourselves.

OK I'm done complaining, this is more of a post just to say things are going well and we will still post on here whenever we get the chance.


PS - we'll probably follow this post up with some others on what has kept us too busy, so if you're interested keep an eye out for future posts.
