Cathy has hijacked the blogg after a far too lengthy discussion regarding its new set-up.

I am getting a little insight into the William's new life which, fights and tantrums aside, has changed considerably.

Jessica's culinary expertise has been warming my palate for these past few months and our wee family dinner chats are going down a treat.

Evan has been doing quite a bit of driving in order for me to find my bearings and get to know the breathtaking area which surrounds Christchurch. Most of the pictures which I have included are from the Bank's Peninsula (on the other side of the mountain from the William's house).

We've all been getting our hands dirty with the gardening work, Jessica and I with the not so successful veggie patch (the rocket, peas, tomato and strawberry plants have survived the cold weather and the storm which occurred a few days back, however the remaining seeds have shown no sign of appreciation for our hard work).

Evan has built a wee path with Luca which is looking great and will probably be completed once the rainy days are replaced with some good sunny weather.

Megan and Luca have each taken their turns to go camping with their friends, which just goes to show that our babies are growing up quickly and becoming really independent (Jessica and Evan watch out!!!)

Megan's beautiful dolls house has been completed, be it slightly untidily, but nonetheless a true demonstration of our hard work and commitment to put a smile on her face and give her a special birthday treat which she could take part in making.

Megan's birthday has been and gone and Luca's is coming up soon (more photos will be posted on this at a later date).

Overall, a great experience which I hope the remaining Bazzarellis, Williams, Rubilares and Larssens will soon be able to enjoy and of course Mr Shepard too.
