Paivittainen elama kiemuroineen sujuu jo hyvin taalla Englannissa, olemmehan olleet taalla nyt 1.5 vuotta. Onneksi tarkeimmat asiat kuten poikien koulu ja meidan asuminen ovat jarjestyksessa. Haaveissa on tietysti oman kodin ostaminen, mutta toistaiseksi ollaan vuokralla. Meilla on kaynyt niin hyva tuuri, etta asumme aivan koulun vieressa keskella mita upeinta luontoa, taloyhtiossa on pojille kavereita yllin kyllin, ja kaupat ja juna-asema ovat kivenheiton paassa. Siksi tassa vuokratalossa asuminen tuntuu juuri nyt tosi hyvalta.
Pikkuhiljaa paasemme syvemmalle ja syvemmalle elamaan Iso-Britanniassa. Viela on kuitenkin paljon mielenkiintoisia juttuja, joita emme ole tehneet tai kokeneet. Vaikka tama paikka on koti, saamme edelleenkin kokea jannia asioita ja oppia uutta. Sen kuitenkin jo tiedamme, etta taalla on mahtavaa asua. :-)
We still have lots of things to learn in this country, and cricket is definitely one of them. The other day Colin and I stopped by to watch a local cricket match. We had fun and it was interesting to watch cricket but we really didn't understand much. Well, maybe Colin did as he plays cricket at school but for me it was enjoying the game without any understanding as to what's going on. ;-)
The daily life here works well for us now. We've been here for 1.5 years now and are super happy that the most important things such as the boys' school and our housing are in order. We are dreaming about buying a home here but for now renting feels good. We have been so lucky to have found the house we live in. The boys' school is right next to our house, we live in the middle of this amazing nature, our street has fantastic friends for our boys, and shops and the train station are close by. Renting this house works so well for us for now.
Little by little we are getting deeper into this culture and life in the UK. We still have a lot to learn and it feels exciting. One thing is for sure, though: it's fantastic to live here! :-)
