I Love Australia!

So, as we were driving home today from the local shops (the Logan Hyperdome) I looked at Angela and I said “I love living here”.

In...

We set the alarm last night for 2.30am so we could phone at the time we’d been told to and spoke to her minder Lee. She sounded very nice and assured us all was well and that Ambro had a wagging tail and...

We received the contracts today for the house and land package and are in the stages of looking through them and returning them.
