Hi everyone hope you are all well we have really struggled to get internet access recently and the libary has been closed for stock take ,and that's our other place we can do our blog so huge apologies.

Anyway we are now truly into summer and it is very hot thank goodness we only have a week and a half of school left.

School is going really well both Gabbie and I have been selected to attend the achiever's and prize giving ceremony Gabbie has got an award for academics and I have got age champion for swimming and I also found out yesterday I am the only person in our class to get an Art award too!!Mum and Dad are very proud of us and keep telling us which is a bit embarassing.We are both swimming in the State Relay teams and hope we do well but there is alot of competition.

Well done to all our friend's who swam at Ponds Forge in the Derbyshires especially Lucy and Oliver Severn who got a bronze for backstroke.We are swimming lots at the moment as it keeps us cool !!!

Dad has been away alot with work and he also has lots of work in Brisbane after the storms so he is very tired.Mum is working full time and last week-end had a very bad shoulder from her arthritis i think that's how you spell it.

In the holidays we are looking forward to see the new Twilight movie at the moment Gabbie is reading the book and says its fantastic so I can't wait to see the film.Hopefully in the holiday we will be able to get onto our blog and write some more but just in case we can't we wish everyone in the UK a very merry christmas and we will be sending our card's and gift's this week Mum promises.
