We have now been in our Raglan house for one week and are enjoying ourselves immensely. The commute is a bit of a drag but it's not bad considering and the location/lifestyle makes it all worth it. I've found a car pool buddy 3 days a week which is working out well, but we will still need to think about getting another car before too long.
My best friend from childhood, Amber, lives just up the road (crazy how life works out) and has 2 boys - Shea, 5 and Seb, 17 months (i.e. 2 months older than Ember). Amber also has another one due in March, on Si's birthday! It's been great being able to pop in and see them, and Amber and Nick (her partner) came over to visit with Seb today. He and Ember get on really well, or at least as well as any toddlers could, and it's lovely for her to have a friend so close. I think Shea will get on well with Alice too, so we'll have to organise a get-together at some stage.
Our camera has packed a sad and therefore I can't post any photos at present, but I might go and do a walkaround with the laptop as movie cam in a minute and will post resulting footage. Em is settling in well and is now pretty much used to her new room and new town, although we are still working on getting sleep patterns back to normal.
Work is also going well and I've been accepted to start my MA next year (2 years part-time) which I'm looking forward to.
Em needs her mummy, so better go!
