Hi again!

This post is over due... so there's photos from June, July and August!

Enjoy!

So the month of June bought us our friends Matt and Eva from England. These are the two who inspired us to come start a life here! Thanks guys! We all went shrimp fishing!




Pauline and Jesse



Nicole enjoying a massive shrimp!

Yummy! Most of these were caught by Pauline and Jesse... thanks!





Unfortunately Ed only managed to catch one... so he ate it from a tiny little bowl!

He wasn't too pleased...


Later that week I had to say goodbye to my beloved afternoon class! They were  my favourite class to teach... I miss them!







Dannis!! Yes... with an 'a' not an 'e'... When will his front teeth come??!

Hey folks.

It's been a while I know... but thought all you non-Facebook users deserved to know what's happening here in Taiwan.

Did you see that beautiful woman photographed at the end of my last blog? That's Debbie. She lost her battle to cancer on June 22nd 2012. She was an amazing woman, she held the energy of the whole world in her hands. The Kaohsiung community were all close to Debbie and everyone was devastated by the news. My thoughts and love goes out to Rob and their families.

On the subject of tragic news, my friend Lisa also passed away a few weeks previous to Debbie. She's actually in the photos at the end of the blog too... may they both rest in peace.

I'm sorry to start on such a sad note, but these events have shaped my time here, and have effected the way I view my own life. I want to make the most of everyday now, these past events have shown me that we don't have 'all the time in the world', and that we must do the things that make the most sense to us, not what we should do.




I had intentions of posting photos of the past few months on this blog... but to be honest, I don't feel comfortable doing so after the news I shared above. I will post again soon with more photos.

Thanks for reading, xxxxxxxxxxxx
