New country new gadget

I have been in Australia nearly two weeks now. It's good to be back, sad to be away from family, but i feel I'm heading in the right direction.

I needed to buy myself a new phone and I've treated myself to an iPhone. I've only ever had the cheapest of phones before so this is quite a new thing to get used to. I'm even writing my blog from it, I can even add photos straight from my phone to my blog. I'm sure this isn't big news to most up to date people, but to me this is amazing!

Jeremy and I have been looking for places to live and exploring new areas. We recently took a trip up to kyneton, about an hour north of Melbourne. It seems a great place, cheaper houses to rent but still a great arty hub.

In kyneton we came across the most amazing shop/ gallery called stockroom. It sold gorgeous contemporary crafts and exhibited the most fascinating pieces of art.


Now, I'm not sure if the photos I'm trying to add here are being placed in the correct spaces. This is all a bit experimental. I'll add a few more, go to sleep, then check it all out in the morning.

How about exploring a bit further west? Creswick, Clunes, Ballarat, Ararat? This part of central Vicis worth a good look too. Not so 'discovered' yet. Good transport Ararat/Ballarat & Creswick & maybe even Clunes soon too, if you want to consider going car-free.

Welcome back,
I was at Jackson Press with Jo (Mystory) and met another blogger, can't remember her name but your name came up and I was able to tell them you were on the way. It would be good to meet up down the track when you are settled

Marissa :) yes, I've discovered instagram! I'm liking it!

Thanks Aimee

Elizabeth, I love Clunes, we were looking there too, but there are so few rental properties. A wee secret though, I think we've found somewhere!

Janette, yes it would be really nice to meet you and Jo again. We should stay in touch.
