Celebrate with us! We had our Australian Citizenship conferred on us ...

Australian Citizenship Ceremony πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ¦˜πŸ¨ This has been one very long journey.  Hats off to anyone who has ever immigrated.  Upon pondering the road of life I realised that this is Paul and my fourth country of citizenship! 

  • For me its: πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ South Africa,  πŸ‡³πŸ‡¦ Namibia, πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ New Zealand and πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia.
  • Paul it's been πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡Ό Zimbabwe, πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ South Africa,  πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ New Zealand and πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia. 
  • Nathaniel it's not as long a journey, πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ New Zealand and πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia.

For Paul and I we have given up our African heritages to build new lives here, and without the love and support of our friends and family I do not think we would have made it.  It's been a road full off tears, frustrations, love, support, encouragement and you.  So to you we say thank you!


 We're Aussies now g'day g'day.. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί
I guess that means we're here to stay
..and should you have some wise advice, to share it would be very nice.. πŸ—£πŸ™‰
We've come, well, from the other side. Much further than the great divide!
A land where lions and leopards roam (that used to be our other home).. πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡ΌπŸ¦πŸΎπŸ†πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦
We stopped a while across the ditch πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ ..had one more child then made the switch..
"West Island" they said but what a guise they didn't reckon for its size!
..emus, roos🦘 and platypus seem to make a lot less fuss..
We'd love it if you'd all prepare to help us settle in right here.. 🏑
It's been a long and weary road and now it's time to shed that load..
We'll put down roots, tie up loose ends
and thank you all for being our friends.. πŸŽ‰πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ₯³πŸ»πŸŽŠπŸ₯‚✝️
