The Patrick Family: We're a happy team at Hawthorn!

Hi everyone, Lots of news on this edition of the Patrick Family Blog! Since we've been back from Canada we have not stopped - which will not surprise most of you!! We have bought a house!!

There are some photos below of the new one. We're not moving far, just around the corner really.

So that means we have flat out getting out getting our house ready for sale. We've been working solid on it for 4 weekends now and have another 2 weekends before we start showing it.

Fortunately the weather has been pretty good for us as we head properly into Spring and the garden is starting to bloom. We had a surprise 33 degree day on Saturday for the AFL Grand Final - in which Iain's team Hawthorn were playing. It's been 17 years and they won!! Iain was very happy indeed and after all the barracking for his team he finally flopped on the sofa with Amelia and they both fell asleep.

We are all well, if a bit tired from all the activity. Zoe and James are in England for one of James' friends weddings so we miss them but they are having a great time with Mum and Dad with visits to Scotland and Paris during the time they're there.

Hope you are all well and if we haven't heard from you for a while - why not???

Lots of love
Caroline, Iain and Amelia

A tense game
did the other team just score, oh no
The Hawks have won!!! - We're a happy team at Hawthorn, we're the mighty fighting Hawks, we love our game and we play to win, riding the bumps with a grin at Hawthorn! (team song, first few lines)
