Mare Family Down Under

So here we are in May 2007. Tas is hard at her Uni studies and I am running around like a hedless chicken. She is currenlty on prac at a school called Parkhurst. Unlike the Parkhurst in SA, this area is run down and one of the poorer areas of Rocky. Needless to say that some of the kids are problem childeren from a difficult home life.

My boss has just resigned wich means that between the senior members in Qld we have had to up our responsibilities. Planting on Greenlake has been a little slow with the property going under water. This has resulted in the place looking a bit like Kakadoo national park with all the magpie geese, spoonbills, swans, pelicans and other birds now frequenting the area.

Kaylin and Ethan are growing up fast (As is Ollie the Collie). They are very excited about Nian and Oupas visit in October, (As are Tas and I). Everything that they do at the moment is for Nian and Oupa. Collecting rocks throught to every piece of "artwork". In preparation for their visit, I have been looking for a 4X4 that would suit the family and fit us all in. Luck would be on our side again and my Bosses old Prado went up for sale. I offered to buy it for the same value as the dealer and the offer was accepted. Needless to say, we struck a good buy as the dealer was trying to rip the company off. (Pics to follow).

Watched the final of the Sharks and the Bulls. What a nailbiter. Sorry for your loss Grant!!! (and other Sharks Supporters)

Well, that is about all for now. A feew photos of the wetland and the kids. Please could eveyone send us an email as we have lost your email addresses due to reloading the computer.

Love you all and miss you lots.

Pierre, Tas, Kaylin and Ethan (and Ollie)
