Our sentiments exactly! ❤️

Retirement age is 67.
Life expectancy is 78.
Work for 50 years to maybe enjoy 11?
Start enjoying life now and do the things you love more often!
No one is guaranteed tomorrow...

2020 what a year indeed!

Thank you to everyone for your beautiful words, encouragement and following along with our adventures! It means a lot that our family photos and ramblings made most of you smile, and a lot more of you realise that your dreams are possible! ✨

As we wave off a year that gave us more than we could ever have imagined (even if at times it felt a little uncertain, but that just adds to the adventure hey?!!), we welcome 2021 with excitement in our hearts. We are ready to embrace our future ventures and would also love to wish you all health, happiness & everything in your wildest dreams. Yes, it takes work, but no dream is too big, and our time here is precious.

Anyway, that’s our attempt at wise words from the un-wise 😂😂🤪 2021 we’re coming at ya!!!

We cannot wait to follow the next bunch of Aussie big lappers 😍

Christmas Day 2020 ✨

28/12/2020

One big amazing Christmas afternoon and night with Pottsville family and friends 🎄

We had enough roast turkey, pork, ham and all the Pommy trimmings to sink a battle ship, followed by a delicious dessert table not done justice by the huge mains we all stuffed down!

Dinner was followed by disco ball dancing and some fully clothed swimming 😂 (not voluntarily might I add 🤣🤣 *cue getting dragged off a UK FaceTime call and over the sofa!!)

A fun and festive Christmas to remember!! ✨

Christmas morning with the family 🥰 Lots of squealing, paper balling and throwing, cheesy Christmas music followed by croissants and then a bike ride. (Oh how we’ve missed having bikes to pootle about on!) Perfect!

2020 was certainly a year like no other in so many ways! One our family will never ever forget ✨

We can’t think of the words at the moment, so we’ll just leave this map here for now until we can think of a suitable wrap up!!

We’re excited for Christmas with our beautiful Aussie family and then new ventures in 2021!

It was at this exact moment we might’ve just told the girls ‘today’s the day we go home and surprise Auntie Louise!’ Needless to say it went down well.

First stop was some Timezone action and sushi. Well, what to do on a rainy day when you can’t pull off said surprise until the evening?! It was quite comical with the bad weather today....Polly said, upon arrival at Coolangatta, “Mum, is it Winter here?!” 😂 Nope, I know we’ve travelled some insane kilometres, but it’s still the same country sweetheart...and still Summer!! 🤣

Phew!!! Just playing catch up on our posts big style!

We had a great four nights at BIG4 Helensvale just scooting and swimming. But the absolute best bit was that, between our amazing friend Nicola and us, we concocted a huge surprise for the girls! We might say ‘friends’, but these guys are family to us, and when you haven’t seen them for over 14 months, it was just a teeny bit exciting!! Hearing the girls squeal ‘Auntie Nicola!!’ was the best! It wasn’t until they saw the illuminated joker on top of the Movie World ride that they even realised how close we were to home. So it goes without saying they were not expecting to see these familiar faces 😍

The last two days in camp felt kind of surreal knowing we were so close to the end of our lap. Even though the girls thought we were heading back north for a bit, we knew different!! 😉 (Well we had to throw our family off the scent AND they did ask for a surprise 😂😂)

Brisvegas baby!!

Our closest capital city to home meaning we’ve now visited the capital of every single state and territory on this lap.

As a huge treat, we surprised the girls with two nights in an apartment at South Bank. The squeals of delight at the view, and utter amazement at real life china plates were something else! And that was just Mum 😉😂

Although we couldn’t get tickets for the Enchanted Garden in Roma Parklands or the big Christmas Concert, there was still plenty of other festive goodies on offer and street entertainment everywhere. We razzed around on electric scooters and then watched the light show on City Hall.

It’s one of our most regularly visited cities given that it’s so close, so we have no doubt that we’ll be back again soon ❤️
