Our House

We were very excited to move into our very own house in Wellington last October, however it's taken us sometime to get unpacked and totally liveable. So finally, here are some photos:

We are also just a half an hour walk from downtown, 5 minutes to our own (cold water) swimming beach, and 10 minutes to the main beach in town, Oriental Parade. Here is a map where you can see our road, Maida Vale, near the bottom of the map. Mandy works at #13, and Andrew works near #49.

Baby Symphony

Last weekend mandy went to see the "Baby Proms" with Nicole and Ollie. Ollie who's current interest is musical instruments, was completely absorbed in everything he saw. He particularly liked the Tuba and Double Base.
