The day was just wonderful everything went to plan and she looked beautiful and her dad and I were proud parents watching our girl start in her new life journey.

One by one our children are leaving the nest and as our children go to live life their way we are starting our own journey into a new faze into our life journey.

Returned to Chennai for 4 weeks then back to Oz August 18th ready for the birth of our first granddaughter due on 1st September

Our granddaughter Willow decided she didn't want to wait until 1st September to come into our lives

On the 25th August
We arrived at the hospital at 9:20pm my daughter in the back seat of the car in labour she walked into the birthing room sat on the bed and at 9:25pm Willow arrived and man it was amazing talk about cutting it close..lol
and I have to say she is the most beautiful cute little girl in the world and her mum is exceptional
I could not believe how calm and composed my daughter was she said she had a stomach pain and some back pain!!  I wish my labour was like that lucky girl....

Mother and Willow are doing fantastic it was time for me to leave and it was a hard one.. missing them all but once again thank god for Skype.

Returning home to Chennai September 26th
I am back in Chennai again and I am loving living here even when my family and Friends are so far away but I have met some beautiful people and formed friendships here and I am grateful for all of them
I am looking forward to what is next in life and what living in Chennai has to give and hope I can give something of myself to Chennai.

December Christmas

Well hello it has been quite a while since I have made an entry to the Blog so I thought it was time
I said something!!

Its December Christmas and I have been searching for some decorations and I finally found some
just picked up some tinsel and bits and pieces from a shop in the street cheep too!!
dont have a christmas tree but managed to get a foam cut out tree so I have put that up on the
wall so now I have a christmas tree.
I am happy now starting to feel the christmas spirit!

Went to get some supplies today and while we were there we spotted a ham just the square slab you would buy from the deli that is sliced.
We thought for interest sake we would check what price they had on this..hmmm very amusing they only wanted $70.00 bucks... lol..
Who in their right mind would actually pay this price for a slab of ham that is just processed meat anyway yes I am going to miss having a nice ham and Turkey for christmas but man I am not that desperate their is always chicken at least that is the real deal.

I went back to pick up some supplies today its been 2 weeks and that Ham is still sitting in the fridge waiting for someone to be crazy enough to buy it.

I havent done anything to write about we have all been sick at different times comes and goes think its the cooler weather change don't get me wrong its still hot but we have had a few cooler mornings and evenings nice cool breezes.

It was Mark's and my 26th Wedding anniversary and Mark was unwell so we dident get to go out to celebrate so we thought we would celebrate on friday night just go out for a few drinks.

So this is how it went Its friday Mark's work Christmas break up hmm... it was starting at 9am in the morning they dont just all catch up after work or plane a night out for there christmas break ups here they have it on a work day all day!!

I was planning on getting out of the house today as I have been cooped up in the house for 4 days sick or someone els was sick It turns out I dont have a driver today thats o.k we are going out tonight I'll be right.
Mark and Megan leave to do what they do and I catch up with a few things then I notice its 9:30 and no
Maid hmmm... maybe she is just delayed for some reason time goes by its now 10am the maid is here

Life goes on

It's a new year and life is ever changing!!

The start to 2011 has been very exciting
