Our News

It’s been a long time since we’ve added anything to our website, so many things have happened in the last year! So, before we start blogging again I’d better give a brief update of the last year

• We went to our friends wedding in Norfolk and had a good, albeit long, day - it takes a long time to drive around Norfolk as there aren’t many main roads!
• A dental technician job in Berkshire became available, and Dawn interviewed for this - and got the job. So at the end of August we moved back to the Reading area!
• A few weeks after we moved back, I began an office job in Reading with unusual hours (6.30am-1.30pm). Very recently I found out that a colleague of mine there was also a guest at the wedding in Norfolk we went to - bizarre!
• We had Christmas together, and were at my parents for Boxing Day. Fortunately the winter was not that bad this year as we discovered that the electricity needed to run this flat is hideously expensive - especially as it has a water pump due to low water pressure, and electric storage heating
• After 5½ months of the very early starts (I’m not a morning person!) I decided to move on, and got a temp job for a while
• For our 2nd anniversary, we went to Brussels for the weekend! We travelled with Eurostar via the channel tunnel, and had a great long weekend.
• Dawn had her gallbladder removed recently (you may remember her mentioning it before)
• We’ve given notice on our flat, and need to move out by 25 June!
• We’re also currently working on Dawn’s visa applications - for permanent residency, followed by naturalisation (citizenship). She needs to do a “Life in the UK” test before applying for the permanent residency, and this is being taken in 2 weeks time.

We’re currently not sure of what the near future holds for us, but we both feel that it’s time to move again We have a few ideas spinning around, and will have to very soon make up our minds - possible mission opportunities, maybe just a move closer to Dawn’s work, maybe something else - we’re just not 100% sure right now. Some people don’t like plans changing all the time, but really it just makes things funner

Oh, and of course the final thing to say is - welcome to our new website!! Yes, I’ve finally got round to making some slight changes to the over-all design, and altering how we publish photos. Currently the website contains pretty much the same as before, but we may add new sections as we go along. Also, our news blog has an Atom 1.0 feed so people who want to keep up with our whereabouts etc can subscribe via their browser or feed program.
