Who am I?

I'm Alex.

I'm married and have been for nearly 15 years.

I have 2 children in their early teens.  

In 2009 we all moved to Western Australia for an adventure and because we could!  It has been, and continues to be, a mixture of emotions and experiences.  

We live in the South Western of WA, in a country town with a strong sense of community.

I am a teacher, which I love but find stressful.  I am trying to get a better home/work balance.  I tend to worry way too much - my mind rarely stops whirring round and round.

I enjoy creating, gardening, drawing, sewing and cooking.  By blogging I aim to make myself more accountable for my time, provide a record of my life, allow family and friends to see what we are up to and hopefully make some virtual friends!

Come and join me as I try to make sense of this life.  Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and a big slice of cake - we may be here for some time!
