a little move...

Well Simon and I resigned from our jobs yesterday, and we are moving back to some warmer weather!!!

Simon's been offered a really great job in Rockhampton, Qld and I have also picked up a 2 month contract aswell!!!! So that basically means where in NSW for another month and a half before we move up north to the non weather!!

Good luck with it Rowena. Wave hello as you go past Nambour. For that matter pop in and say hello, I'm only 5 minutes off the highway.

Good luck in your new location.

As for weather, I'd love to winter in FNQ, but even Sydney is too far north for me in summer as the humidity does my head in .

make sure you let us know when you're about to hit the road. I can pop down to the highway, you guys can pull of to the side and we can say "Hi "
