Just a-walking in the rain

February 25, 2010 in blog by Vicky Gray | No comments

After a month of mayhem, I am finally getting a handle on my new routine.  With three children starting different schools; writing unscheduled articles for magazines; filming youtube clips (coming soon to this channel!) and organising other work commitments – my days have been somewhat disorganised…

…and I loathe disorganisation!

But today I felt like I had finally got everything back on an even keel - so this morning I decided to make time to throw on some training shoes and get back into doing some exercise, as it seems my bottom has been widening by the hour.

Happy Australia Day!!

January 26, 2010 in Living In Australia, blog by Vicky Gray | No comments

Today I celebrated my first Australia Day as an Aussie…. and I felt immensely proud to raise up the Australian flag (ok – it was a cheap hand-held one from the Dollar Tree… and it was actually attached to my esky – not raised up high on a pole) BUT the point is, I felt pretty darn ‘true blue’ as I knocked back the amber nectar with my nearest and dearest on the beach.

Great video from Dr. Rob Brander…

January 10, 2010 in blog by Vicky Gray | No comments

Remember a few weeks ago when I was chatting to a local surf lifesaver about rips… while watching my son being battered about by the waves…? 

Well, since then a top bloke called Dr. Rob Brander (a surf scientist) has steered me in the direction of his website, called (would you believe) “The Science of the Surf” … (and I thought I was being clever thinking of that blog title) 

So please take a look at his fantastic short video, and stay really safe!

The science of the surf…

November 20, 2009 in Living In Australia, blog by Vicky Gray | 2 comments

OK, going by that title, you would be mistaken for thinking that I’m some sort of ocean expert/marine specialist…

…. but obviously I’m not.

However, I have just been talking to someone who is very knowledgeable about that sort of thing, and I felt it was of utmost importance to deliver the information to you!

7 compulsory things to know about Australia…

November 5, 2009 in Living In Australia, blog by Vicky Gray | 1 comment

OK, so going by the fact that I am making a ‘list blog’ you may think that I actually have nothing to write about this week.

 You couldn’t be more wrong.

The whole reason why I wrote the book and started this blog became garlingly obvious to me this week, when I was asked to write an article for Living Abroad magazine – about why we decided to move over to Oz in the first place and how our life compares now….
