Happy New Year fushies! It's definitely the end of an era for the Wilsons. We've left the young, dynamic, exciting city of London and returned to our beloved home city of Sydney. We're definitely going to miss London and all our friends in London. More than anything we're going to miss the mini-break. There is really nothing like jetsetting off to a new country and culture of a weekend.

But, it's not all tears and sadness. 2010 is going to hold many new adventures for us. New jobs, car, new house, new... The Wilsons are really looking forward to the next year.

Farewell 2009... Welcome 2010!
