Yesterday Amelia met her new prep teacher Mrs Wilson at Patricks Road School. Amelia seemed quite overwhelmed by it all but took everything quietly in. We saw the classroom and met the other children who'll be in the class - lots of new friends to make. Amelia started playing hard straight away!
We made it to Heathrow in one piece - just. I suffered air sickness which was awful. The kids were mostly good though tired and cranky at times, but enjoyed the in-flight food and entertainment. We made a friend from Annerley along the way who helped us navigate the airport in Korea and provided a welcome playmate. Since we arrived the kids have been spoilt rotten and I haven't had to cook dinner once :)
The weather has been glorious with only a little rain - hoping it stays that way. We've been to my nieces birthday party, collected conkers in the woods, and William watched Bristol City beat Chesterfield FC with his Uncle Colin and Auntie Sarah.
We also visited slimbridge wildfowl trust where thousands of geese and ducks flock to escape the harsh northern winters in russia and canada.
It's been a busy first week!
It's Brisbane Writers Festival this week, so Amelia and I headed into the State Library of Queensland to see what was happening. After a quick snack we listened to a children's author talk, drew a design for another level of the '52-story treehouse' (a kids storybook), then pretended to be pirates in the kids corner of the library. After that, we caught the Citycat ferry along the river to visit 'mummy's work'. Amelia did so much work and made such a good impression, that she was hired on the spot! What a busy day - lucky the train seats are so comfy.
After four weeks of preparation and painting, amelias room is finally pink and 'fancy' just as she requested!
