Thanks for watching!
How cute is wee Ren toddlin about now so cute ! Just keep reminding yourself on the bad days, your doing amazing and the sun always comes out after a storm x
Loved this style of video with a Q&A. Very informative and helpful for a family hopping to move within the year x
ahhh thank you, i'll definitely be doing more as i enjoy them too! :)
Loved this video. Thanks Kimberly. So amazing to see how the public transport is and also the museum was fantastic. I hope we will move to Australia and I can take Aurora to this museum. Looked like so much fun. 😻
Hi Kimberly I only subscribed to your Chanel yesterday and have watched almost all of your vlogs, thanks for being so open honest and keeping it real 😢 my husband daughter (12) and I are at the very beginning of our journey and I have got pages of notes to help me from your vlogs so thank you ❤ Lesley
Steak Pie, try Angus Beef and pepper pie! Herbert Adams or Four & Twenty! My mum and grandmother made sure we had a real Christmas, Turkey, chicken, ham, (prawns), homemade puddings and cake, mince pies, a pine tree and all the trimmings - there is usually also Christmas celebrations in the Blue Mountains in July! Sorry to hear about the rude drivers, that's strange, they must be new here! Australians generally have good manners and helpful attitudes! You need to create some me time, being a mother is your first job, not your whole life! It is early yet, find a routine that works for you now and for later! Music and a book is always a good time out! St John's Wort is great for any anxiety too! I haven't been to the museum for years, what a great kids experience! He's so cute calling Isla (my mum's name)! Lovely day out, thanks for sharing! Take care of yourself! 🌺
Have lived in South Australia for 53 years, and have only ever seen 3 snakes in the wild. One in our garden, one in the bush, and one in a caravan park we were staying in. So snakes really aren’t a problem if living in the suburbs.
I really thought this might be the case. Certainly not something that would put me off anyway, but i know some people seem to think they are everywhere you look!! Haha x
I really enjoyed that vlog Kimberley can we have more like that please! There’s a Scottish butcher in North Ryde called David’s Larder if you haven’t already found it it could be worth a try. They do steak pie. I haven’t tried it myself as I’m back in Blighty at the moment.
Awwww thank you so much. I actually really enjoyed filming this, it's good that people get to see the city too! I'll defo do more ❤ I've heard of a few scottish butchers so will definitely give one a try soon! As always thanks for watching xx
Lovely to see the City for sure and your journey there and back and of course the little ones enjoying the museum! I’m re-living my journey through you and agree with everything you said especially the accommodation. That was a shocker! You have done so well securing the rental you’ve got. Your CV done the trick 😊
I noticed ya little bloke didn't have any shoes or socks on. Can you do that in Sco Land winter? 😮😮😮
You can't leave the house in winter without 3 jackets, 4 scarfs and 2 pairs of socks 😅😅
Having lived in Sydney for 60 yrs I have not seen a snake but I'm still looking. What you should be worried about are the drop bears.
Thank you for this. What is drop bears???
@@kimberleylucas Your better off not knowing.
@@michaelmcclown5593 oh ha ha!!! did i just google it? YES I DID! you got me!
i have heard from brits i know, that it takes 2 years to really settle .
I would say this is true- definitely takes a while!
With the thankyou and courtesy on the roads id say it could be more so in your area. Castle Hill tends to attract more the chinese maybe thats why. Im in Penrith and yes theres a lot of arrogant drivers but theres a few still that will let you in or ones says thanksif you let them in. But saying all this yeah in general Sydney or most cities around Australia the manners and driving isn't what it should be.
Castle Hill tends to attract more the chinese maybe thats why. Yeah but that still leaves the other 90% or maybe it's just the way it is with ALL people these days, and have a lovely day.
Its something that shocked me for sure, and like I've said it's not the odd few it's majority of people that I let past or let them out. Back in Scotland the horn would be blasted and a few swear words for sure 😅 it's a shame as manners really do cost nothing.
Aussies used to be such polite drivers but Ive noticed with the influx of immigrants over the years the courtesy level has dropped dramatically.
That's funny cause I didn’t like the chocolate anywhere in the UK. There's a Cadbury factory in Tassie you may want to take the kids to one day. Btw Sydney people are rude, a bit like London.
which city or town are you from in scottland
I really liked the style of this vid with you out and about answering the questions .You mask your actual accent very well i can pick its scots but not the area From what i have heard of Ewan speaking he sounds like Aberdonian .Yeah Snakes shouldnt bother you .Spiders in Sydney you need to research the funnelweb get yourself up to speed on those they are what you need to be aware of . If you come across a spider the size of your hand its probably a Huntsman and though they look scary they are harmless . I saw someone mentioned drop bears look up Australian Geographic i think they did a story on them .
Kimberley did you and your family get to visit Vivid at night yet?
Hello, we decided not to go purely because of how busy it was and the fact we would have a toddler and a pram. Looked great though!!
Snakes you wont come across in the colder months but come into spring when it warms up they will start to come out. But really snakes you'll be lucky to come across one. They are more scared and dont want to be near us. Ever walk around where there bushland just walk heavy footed and make your self known as they will sence your approach and get away.
Thanks for this helpful information. I'm really not that concerned on snakes if I'm honest, and I certainly won't be poking around if I do find one haha but spiders concern me more as I'm really not that great with them! The time will definitely come I'm sure 😅
@@kimberleylucas spiders are even more scared of us than snakes. Well sort of 😂 you leave them alone that leave us alone. It's the big Huntsman that scares most but they are harmless and good to have around to catch the bugs. Nature's own insect repellant 😜
Do you plan to purchase a property anytime soon? How long do you have your rental for ?
We have signed for 1 year on our current rental. We would love to buy but unfortunately sydney is looking very expensive. In addition to this because we are not permanent residents, the mortgage rates are much higher so it's definitely worth waiting a few years until we are sure exactly where we will settle.
@@kimberleylucas Yes Sydney looks so expensive at the moment. We are trying to work out how long to rent for on arrival and then how best to buy. Feels like the most stressful part of moving, especially with the rental market!
@@PepsiMaxKola most rentals are for 12 months, some of them are 6 months but majority we looked at were 12 months, however you can leave within this period but you would need to pay a fee depending how far into your lease you are :) its absolutely the most stressful part! haha sending you strength!
Malcolm Allen steak pie - the best!
@@kimberleylucas thanks for the info, very helpful! Your vlogs are so helpful for us as well 👍
Ignorant drivers is a Sydney thing its probably a lot to do with he stress of in living in an over crowded rat race.
