We started 2014 with a Degustation Lunch at Voyager with most of the Friday night crew. We also attended the usual Cape Mentelle movie evenings. Sally had some friends who were involved in the “Chefs Long Table Lunch”, which is a fund raiser for the local community groups in Bunbury. It is held on the […]
2013 Family Update
The summer of 2013 saw us go to a few movies at Cape Mentelle. This is just up the road and the atmosphere is really nice on a warm night (they don’t happen often). We could sit on the grassed area with a wine and a pizza and just enjoy a pleasant evening. Most of […]
2012 December Family Update
After our holiday to France, we had a pretty quiet end to the year. Liam enjoyed getting home and back to his friends, playing with Vegas and enjoying school. Rosie got back into her golf, having a few successes and generally enjoying the friendships. It was a very sad October, with Blue suddenly having massive […]
2102 June – July Trip to France
Rosie and I have reached an age where we should be doing as much travelling as we can while we are still fit and healthy. To achieve this, we thought we would add a couple of weeks of LSL onto a normal school holiday and go somewhere for a month. This was Liam’s schooling wouldn’t […]
2012 Family Update – January to June
Liam went into Year 9 at High School this year. He did well in Year 8 and is currently in the top Maths class, much to his father’s delight. Early in the school year, Bruce organised a Mathematics Activity group to visit the school and we set up a whole lot of activities in the […]
2011 Family Update
Life is very much back to normal since our big Exchange year in 2009. This year Rosie and Bruce went to the Leeuwin Concert in February to see Brian Ferry and then later in the year we went to Sandleford to see Michael Buble. Both concerts were good, but we are getting a bit old […]
March 2011 – Joey McKillop’s Wedding
The last of the McKillop Weddings, Bruce has attended four (the only person, apart from Merv, who has done so). It was a hard act to follow Dani’s wedding but Jo and Tom succeeded in creating a wonderful day in which we all got a good insight into their love for each other and the […]
2010 December Family Update
It was nice to be back in Australia and our beautiful weather. We had great intentions this year of playing more golf, but unfortunately this didn’t happen. We live in hope that we will be making the golf course our second home sometime in the next couple of years. Liam is getting older and more […]
Canada Exchange Ends – January 2010
Liam is finishing off his last three weeks at Ruth Thompson before going back home to start Grade 6 again. He has loved his schooling in Canada and has gained many new friends. On the last Friday, Liam took all his new friends to Wild Wings for a farewell party and general food fest. They […]
2009 Canada Exchange – Xmas
We were really looking forward to a true North American Christmas and obvioulsy this meant that it had to be a white Christmas. The blizzard ensured that we had a White Christmas and as we drove over the top of the Catskill Mountains we saw some of the most beautiful scenery, with a light dusting […]
