And now a week later................

We can't believe it is only 3 weeks since arriving in Perth - with all that has happened it seems like 3 months!! Jude's dad, Ray, was released from hospital on Wed 2nd July only to have a relapse and be readmitted yesterday 5th July to the local hospital. Today he was transferred to a hospital in the city where he can have further extensive tests and be given the required treatment. On top of the infected gallbladder he also has an infection in the pancreas all of which is very painful. Please keep Ray and Ess in your prayers.

We have found a rental property and it is in Waikiki, a suburb of Rockingham south of Perth. It is 4 bedroom 2 bathroom, has a double remote controlled garage, powered workshop, and really lovely gardens front and back. It is only a 10 minute walk to the beach at - Safety Bay where there are dolphins, pelicans, seals, swimming and kite surfing to name a few activities! The pics below show Jude with her mum, Ess, outside the house and a view towards Penguin Island.

Although it is winter we have been having some beautiful sunny days with blue skies. There have been the most amazing sunrises and sunsets over the bay which are shown below.
