...with our new car parked out the front. The other shot is of our back garden - yes that's a fish pond on the left hand side behind the little fence.
We've been very busy since our wedding, getting ourselves nice and settled into our new place. We put an offer in on the place before getting married last October, completed the purchase when we returned, and moved in on the 20th of November 2006. A pretty quick turnaround so we are told.

So, a little bit of information about our home...
It is a 3 bedroom 1930's built house (20 years older than Mum & Dads back in Oz). It's about a 7-10 minute walk to the nearest tube station, Loughton, and then it's about a 45 minute tube ride either into the centre of London, or to Canary Wharf, where I work. Liz mainly works around the Stratford area, so it takes around 25 minutes by tube for her.
The high road is also around 10 minutes walk away, however there's a convenience store and a few other shops around the corner from our home, which is handy for grabbing the little essentials.
We've started some renovating (just the bathroom - nice and simple to start with) and are enjoying our new place immensely.
Our car is a Renault Megane, that I really love driving. It's a little smaller than what I am used to from Australia, but needs to be to park and drive on the small streets in the UK! It's been over 7 years since I owned a car. Living in London and New York I didn't really miss having one, but now we have one it's really handy. Particularly for driving up to see Paul & Jenni (brother and sister-in-law), and my two beautiful nieces Ellie & Rhiannon (yes, Jenni gave birth to Rhiannon on 27 December 2006).
