Whilst it was pouring outside ...

...we gathered with our friends here in Sydney to say goodbye.

Sad, really very sad, as this is the place :

Where we lived many fantastic moments with some of the most welcoming, warm, dynamic and interesting people we ever met ...
Where Juleen spent all of her 2.5 years with her good friends Dylan, Zach, Keira, Fletcher & Elodie, Ricky & Nina ...
Where the sun shines most of the time (not today) ...
Where the beach and the ocean are in everyone's backyard...
Where everyone genuinely says 'Hi, how are you going today?'
Where you're invited by people you don't know and they turn out to become your best friends...
Where work-life balance became suddenly very real...
Where we found the best nannies & child care we could have dreamed of ...
Where Jasper was born ...
Where families & friends gather for sunny barbeque brunches ...
Where we loved our house and our neighbours ...
Where we walked to work to stay fit...
Where we made friends for life...
Where we were very well looked after by doctors, dentists, hospital staff and Anouk's special Chinese doctors ...
Where life is a true joy ...

... and where we will return if we realise that we miss it all too much !

THANK YOU ALL

London, here we come...


Only 2 more weeks to go and our Adventure Down Under is over (at least for a while)...
We will get in touch when we arrive in London (and Belgium), so we can start to organise plenty of catch-ups - but first we are going on holiday to Fiji. We are looking forward to seeing you all!!
