Move confirmed

So after things being frustratingly up in the air for a while now, we finally have confirmation that we are going to Melbourne next year (or the end of this year!) It is 178 sleeps until we drive out of here and needless to say I'm looking forward to it. While colleagues here are nice and all, I'm really looking forward to having the opportunity to meet some vegans in real life and also to have more options. I'm really excited to get a chance to go to Vegan Wares, which is in my links on the side of the blog. I have ordered a purse and 2 pairs of shoes from them while I've been up here, and they are all totally fantastic and brilliant, but I'd simply love to actually get to walk into their store and look around (the whole tracing your foot and taking measurements and stuff is not really my thing!)

I'm looking forward to having somewhere other than a second rate woolies to buy food, woohoo!! I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to actually go to a vegetarian or vegan restaurant and have options in other restaurants that just aren't here. I'm also really looking forward to getting settled and setting up a veggie garden and maybe in the relatively short term getting our own place and growing fruit trees too! Such excitement :)

Before we drive down I'll have to make sure I plan really well to organise lots of healthy and tasty snacks as vegan food options at service stations in the middle of nowhere are, well, yeah, ha ha! I'm not sure they even know food exists that is not seriously deep fried. I see lots of dried fruit, seeds and nuts and if anybody out there has any other ideas, then please let me know. Can never plan too early for this kind of thing (besides it's only 178 sleeps!!)
