Off to Saudi Arabia

Yep, I am off shortly to join Chris in Saudi Arabia for about a year. I have bought my abayah and it is at the seamstress being shortened because I am obviously a midget!!
This is the house, that long window is the staircase and I will draw the curtains when I get there... DH appears to have forgotten to do so! ;)
This is the view from the master bedroom balcony... the beach looks great!! The bonus is that it is a private beach and I can wear what I want on it! ;)
OK, this is the beach... think I may spend quite of lot of time here... Chris told me its 52 degrees today-that water looks cool....

My house is 2nd from the left... once the kids find out what I am like that playground will stay deserted and I will be able to play on the swings myself!! LOL

Worth the trouble of relocating even if it's just for a while!!! With a house that size there has to be a craft room!!! Enjoy... When are you leaving?
