The New Gutty City Residence

Now, where do I begin?

It's a two storey place, 4 bedrooms upstairs, 3 downstairs, 3 bathrooms/toilets (yeah!) and lots of living areas. It even has a double sized pantry, and cupboards and robes in every little space. No area has been wasted.

The house is brand new; no one has lived in it. It's in a new estate in a valley a little way from the city, and is part of a little village community. And, the size of the property is... 3 acres! Oh yes! No suburbia for the Gutty tribe. Well, not real suburbia anyway, still have some space to run in and be able to kick a ball without it going over to the neighbour's yard.

We take up residence next Tuesday, so will be continuing in temporary accommodation until then. We can't wait to get our stuff and junk out of storage. Books and toys, and Emily only wants to see one thing - her dressups! Typical Emily :-)

So it all worked out - despite a few hiccups and concerns. We have a house to not just live in, but experience life in for our time in the city. We still have Wallaby Scrub waiting for us. Christmas holidays will be spent there as well as any other weekends or 'spare' time we can scratch up. We want to get John down there as often as possible. He needs a little 'defrazzling' and a lot of chill time.

So here comes a new phase of "Wallaby Scrub"; perhaps I'll call it "Wallaby Scrub Goes to Town" or some such thing. No. Wallaby Scrub is in our hearts. It's part of us. The essence and atmosphere of Wallaby Scrub will follow us wherever we make our home.
