Living as a Family "MOVED ON"

64

By oliversmum

New way of life

Well it has finally happened!

We have all moved to our new locations, although it is completely different to living as a family, we (each family) needed to do their own thing without the stress of looking after a large property and are all extremely happy with our new homes and choice of locations.
Plus our children and Grandchildren have a great place to come for a holiday.

What a Mad House

The last three weeks before moving was like a mad house.
So much stuff to dispose of, what on earth are we going to do with it all. In the end we found two people that between them took 14 tandem trailer loads including one full trailer load of children's clothes from birth to 8 years old that belonged to my Grandchildren,they went to an aboriginal community up North which was wonderful.
These two people are the salt of the earth, every single item that they collect, is given to someone in need,no matter what time of the day or night, if you need something, they will be there.
They are the most beautiful and caring folks that I have ever met,unfortunately there are not enough of us like them.

The last day was hard,sad and everything else in between, but now after a few weeks, we are all adjusting to the new chapters in our lives, and are pretty happy and excited about it all. We are very fortunate to have very special friends up here, they made our(mine especially) transition a lot easier.

Grand childrens New Adventure.

Our Grandchildren love their new home and have started at a new school which they also love.
We are in touch with them on a regular basis, by phone,email and other means, they particularly love getting letters from us, one reads it to the other over and over and over so I am told.
It's beautiful. We miss them dearly.

The beginning of a "LIFESTYLE" !!!

Agvulpes and I are in temporary accommodation on the block where our new house is being built, which is near our favorite holiday spot of Lakes Entrance, not far from Paynesville,Bairnsdale,Metung. It is magical.
We spend a lot of time out doors, as we overlook the Rivers and Lakes, just cant get enough of the view. It's to die for.
Agvulpes is in photographers heaven, there is just so many wonderful scenes to be captured and he so loves it!

The bird life is incredible, There are Water fowl, Ducks, Swans, Pelicans, Honey Eaters, Wattle Birds, Cockatoos, Parrot's, Magpies and many more!
At the moment there are two baby Owl's in a tree near us, they are flying now and today they. moved to a tree about 20ft from our back door. Oh they are so beautiful!

Oliver

Oliver has settled in really well, he loves his walks down to the river, where he has made a lot of friends both human and animal. He just loves people and making friends with other dogs big and small.
He has also gotten a reputation of being a charming little guy with a wonderfully cheeky personality.

"That's our Boy". :) :)

At the moment it is Summer here, the rivers and Lakes are extremely busy with Yachts, Speed Boats, Fishing Boats, and Canoes, It's a magnificent sight!

Work in Progress in Paradise

We are so looking forward to our home being finished so as we can design our garden.
right now that's not possible, so we will have to be patient for a little longer.
Oh well them's the breaks.
We are over the moon that we made the decision to move here, and dreams do come true.
You just have to have faith.
Bye for now. Oliversmum, Agvulpes and Oliver. :):):)

AliciaC Hi.

We think it is beautiful, just a very short walk to the river, with lots of trees and bird life along the way.

A little longer walk we can see Cattle and Sheep. Its amazing.

I am sure we will thank you.

Another couple of months we've been told, fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment they are very much appreciated. :):):)

How very exciting to be able to move into your brand new home in a few weeks. Of course then you will be settling into it...still work...but fun. Your surroundings look gorgeous! Will eagerly anticipate seeing more of it when you get a chance to write more hubs. Happy for all of you! Even your little Oliver is happy from what you say. :)

Peggy W Hi. Oh it is. We are almost down to counting the hours,It seems to have been for ever.

Yes moving in will be a bit of work,but a lot more fun,we are also looking forward to designing our new garden.

We love it here and it is a beautiful spot to live.

Oliver is a very happy and sociable little guy,He makes friends with all animals/humans big or small no matter.
