Hup Holland Hup :(

Well it's been a amazing entertaining month of football and we have certainly been in the best place! Obviously we are totally gutted we didn't win but its has been an big orange celebration anyway to be part of. Our social life will be very quiet suddenly although with my large family there is always a birthday to attend somewhere and I'll never tire of seeing my family (....yet...joke)
We have managed to leave our camera in chris' parents car so I will update the blog with some pictures as soon as it's arrived back. We had a great time with them here and it was lovely showing them where we live and our new life here. I think they left with a reassured feeling that we are ok here, apart from cycling without a helmet! We are looking forward to many more family and friends visits!
We have finally got a finished house since a few weeks, well no pavement yet at the front, and are really loving the open plan space and garden. Life is good and seems a lot more relaxing and going by the less need for early nights and naps for Chris I think he agrees!
Life's pace is a bit slower here now as people are on holiday, the builders even take a customary long summer break (unfortunately for our pavement) and the rest has a generally 3 week holiday abroad. We are getting to grips with the dutch organisation and efficiency here, Eshter has almost monthly weigh, measure and jabs here by skilled medical/nursing team. It's the small things I miss here from England like the supermarket trolleys for baby's and the cereal choices!
Anyway, we are integrating well altough I caught myself speaking English to someone and wondering why I wasn't getting a response, suppose that's what 15 years in England does to you.
