Letters 2 Australia: The Dumesny's big move

Ok, so here goes my first ever blog post...

We’re not expecting too many visitors to the blog, but if you do happen to pop by here’s the story...

This blog has been set up for us (Us being the Coulson’s, Manthorpe’s and Morling’s) to communicate with The Dumesny family following their move to Australia on Sunday 4th March 2012.

I’ll start off with a little background info...

Charlotte Dumesny is daughter/sister number 1 of the Coulson family. She met Adam Dumesny on her travels to Australia on Boxing day 2003 and after spending a year over there Charlotte moved back to the UK, bringing Adam with her, on Boxing day 2004.

They were married here in September 2006 and had two gorgeous boys. Lawson Jay Dumesny (Or Boo) in January 2009 and Wilson Maxwell Dumesny (Or Buddy) in October 2010.

August 2011 on a holiday in back to Port Fairy Australia, Adam’s home town, the Dumesny’s decided to move back to Australia...

...so they leave behind our parents Nicky (Nick-Nee) and Guy (Goy), Sister 2 George and husband Leon (Eon), and myself Kate (sister 3) and husband Kieran (Kiewon).

Home is Leiston, Suffolk. With all of us living pretty close to the ‘rents, so that we can pop round for copious cups of tea most mornings. The parents live in a converted Barn, which is slowly developing into a small holding with Hens, Geese, Ducks etc. They try to lead a pretty self sufficient lifestyle. Guy owns his own building company and Nicky is a homeopath and seamstress.

Myself and Kieran live 3 minutes away, with George and Leon just down the road from us.

Home now for the Dumesny’s is Port Fairy, Australia. They will be living with Adam’s parents Max and Heather for a while whilst they get settled back over there.

We have mutual interests in health, fashion, craft (Well maybe not George!!!), Gardening (hmmm...again maybe not so mutual) interior decor, and ‘doing up’ things (Guy loves anything with a bit of rust on that he can give a little TLC to!).

Hopefully this post will allow us to keep up to date with what is going on in each others lives, particularly the two little monkeys, Boo and Buddy.

So the plan is to keep each other posted on things we’ve been doing, interesting reads, DIY and restoration projects, Crafty things, Garden make overs, Small holding news etc etc.

I’ll end with a few pics of family life and recent events here in the UK...
