Dylan Whincop: November 2009

Farewell England

Well, our UK visa is about to expire, so the house is all packed up and we're ready to move back to Australia. I haven't lived there yet, so it is a big adventure for me.

There have been lots of tears lately, so I hope things settle down soon. It is sad saying goodbye to all my friends, but I'm happy that I'm going to live closer to all my relatives in Australia.

Goodbye Durham, we'll be back for a visit in February!

Compensation

Mum and Dad must be feeling a little guilty about the disappearance of all my toys because a parcel just arrived in the post for me.

I am so excited about watching this Kipper DVD!!!

And a Fireman Sam DVD as well - is it Easter again?!!!!!!

(And yes, our house really did look like this in the days leading up to our trip back to Australia!)

My beloved Elvis

Poor Elvis looks a bit cold after his bath!

And I'm sure his ears must really hurt when Mum does that to him!

It's alright Elvis, I'll look after you! (And my new Mini!)

Easter Time

Wow, I think I like Easter already!

Who cares about a chocolate egg when there is a MINI to play with?!!

Smitten. (Dylan with his car and Daddy with his son)

Just checking the engine is in good shape

Dad why can't our car be one of these?

Back home to the trusty alley

I have no idea where my Cosy Coupe and all the rest of my toys have disappeared to, but at least I can still play with this one.

Who knows what they spend our taxes on - this road is a disgrace, my car keeps getting stuck in all the potholes!

Ireland - Powerscourt

I feel like I'm "walking the plank" a little here..

I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again!

Hey, I said I'm sorry!!!

A gorgeous boy in Ireland

mmm, I wonder what mischief I can get into here?

I'm sure if I just smile as sweetly as I can, I will get away with (almost) anything?!

Ireland - Newgrange

Newgrange was AMAZING - at dawn on the shortest day of the year, a beam of sunlight illuminates the chamber at the end of a passageway; it was built around 5000 years ago and has never had a drop of water inside (even in rainy Ireland!) Mummy was very impressed!

Ireland - Monasterboice

We went for a flying trip to visit our friends Krysten and Monica in Ireland before leaving for Australia.
They took us to see lots of amazing things like this ginormous cross at Monasterboice.
