I thought the start of the New Year would be a good time to begin our blog.

As many people that know us are aware it is our dream to leave the UK to start a new life in Austria and we had hoped to have been there already, however we haven't yet sold our house. Once it is sold we'll be off! If you're interested take a look at the website here.

The Austria move is also the reason why we have the blog in both English and German, in an effort to improve our German.

There are various categories to within the blog:

• Announcements - posts with any announcements we have - like this one!
• Diary - general daily diary posts
• Holidays - containing posts about our holidays
• Ruddock's Rants - where we let off steam!
• Social - posts containing any social events we have attended

That's all for now.
