Now we are all Australians......

It is an interesting situation to be in.  We have recently been accepted into the Australian fold and now hold dual nationality.  Here we are getting our gongs together with a much more worthy applicant  - a Somalian refugee - and a federal politician.  I think the boys were more thrilled to get tattoo's put on their faces, but don't the look sweet.  


But less than one month later, our new found antipodean nationality is put to the test by the rugby world cup.  To anyone out there who had any doubts as to where the allegiance lies - see the other photo.  "Arise Sir Giteau".  Better luck next time boys.


However I should point out that my 7 year old was in tears after the game - but then he was born in Scotland and is now an Australian!  The next morning, I told him I was going next door (to see our Aussie neighbours) to gloat.  He asked "what does gloat mean?" to which I replied, "come with me, I'll show you".  I have been smiling all week.        Thank you England  :-)

How can you not gloat when it was so against the flow of expectation?
