Saturday 26th January - Monday 11th February Well guys, we thought we had better update you all with the latest stories from our lives! We are still in Berwick but we have been up to a few things. We caught up with Ryan & Steph for a bite to eat at a steakhouse, made a few trips to the beach, sold Terry the wonderful Toyota, went to a BBQ for Australia Day weekend, a trip to the cinema, lots of window shopping & booked flights to Wellington for Tues...
