Surfing in Sri Lanka

As I get older I like to learn new things.  In Mumbai it was the guitar and, over the last 4 years, I have developed in a a pretty poor guitarist but I enjoying kicking back of an evening and learning to play new songs.  Some are classics and some should only be played on a karaoke machine. Much to Lucy's disgust I have even learnt a Justin Bieber song! I am not sure what is worse, my guitar playing or surfing.  I am certainly no Jack Johnson! The beach hut at Horseshoe cove. Cocktails, fresh coconuts and the ubiquitous stray dogs In Dubai the new thing has been learning how surf.  Living overseas there is an implicit assumption that, as an Australian, I can surf. When explaining my lack of skills, I need to remind people that although most of the population live near the coast, there are still a few that grow up a long way from the beach with rivers as there only source of water based fun.   Our surfing started with...

We landed in Berlin on Sunday morning with an outside temperature of minus 19 degrees celcius. Nothing works in minus 19 degrees celcius! It has been a whirlwind four days with city hall registrations, banking bureaucracy, shopping at Ka De Wa for Goose and all the appropriate trimmings like kartoffelklosse (which look like mashed potato balls with fried bread inside!!!), exploring Christmas markets and drinking gluwein, throwing snowballs at each other, marveling at the beauty of snow flakes the size of Ada's hand and of course driving on the other side of the road. We are all a little worse off for that experience! We have been blessed with the most wonderful relocation agents and have not found anything too hard to cope with. Our Christmas tree is beautiful - at least we think so. Happy Christmas Friends and Family - thank you for your support in our moving to Berlin - you will love it when you visit!

Dear Friends, by now many of you now that just after all the excitement of Amsterdam and a stunning Berlin/Potsdam Autumnal season we took a trip to Mumbai in India. Chris has a work opportunity there and we thought we had better all go and look, see and smell for ourselves what a life in India might be like. Well with that trip and plenty of soul searching we have decided to move to India. You know we love an adventure and the week there showed us that India will be that. Not the four or five star kind we have become used to in Europe of course, but an adventure none the less. Of late, we have had sleepover parties for Lucy, lots of friends here for Ada's 6th birthday and also celebrated my birthday with duck feeding, sledding and hot chocolate. So now we are travelling head first into Christmas. We have Grace, my cousins now 18 year old daughter with us, Kimlie and Dan and Scarlett and Reilly, our friends from Singapore and a goose and a turkey ready for the ove...
