Are we all still pretending its Christmas time? Oh good, so this post about Christmas won’t be strange then.
Christmas Eve was spent at Lindsay’s cousin Anna’s beautiful house with the Holmwoods.
It was a lovely and relaxed evening with lots of nice conversation and yummy food.
The next day was Christmas day, this was to be [...]
Lets just pretend its not yet Christmas and I am not like super dooper behind in the fascinating story of my life.
Lindsay and I had been home 3 days and were feeling a little kooky from the jet-lag. We were lucky enough to be housesitting in a lovely big house for a friend of my [...]
We woke up very early, and sadly had a rushed goodbye with Maarten and Yvonne who had been so lovely to get up with us before the crack of dawn. Lindsay and I caught a train to Arnhem, and from Arnhem a train to Frankfurt. From the train we could see snow on the fields [...]

One night we were sitting at Beer’s house with Katherine and decided… lets go Belgium tomorrow. We chose Antwerp. Within an hour we had booked trains and accommodation. Early the next morning we were on the train to Belgium. One and a half hours later we were there.
We arrived at the beautiful Antwerp station and walked [...]
Yikes! I am so behind in my blogging (how unusual, I know).
Anyway… where were we?
While we were still in Den Haag, Beer went to Kenya for a week. Katherine, our friend from high school, who had just moved to London came to visit us for a while. She stayed with us at Beer’s house.
Her first [...]
I interrupt the usual blogging for the traditionally late, Decates family Christmas card.
We all embarked on new adventures this year. Jacob started university in Canberra where he met his lovely girlfriend Geraldine. Julia and her brand new husband Lindsay spent most of the year travelling around Europe. (Read all about their adventures on this [...]
