August - September 2009, 2009

Site updated on 03 Oct 2009

The AthoTurnbull clan was busy despite Stephen having no work travel for these 2 months. In England James is still working at the bar and living in the dodgy end of Cowley Road in Oxford. Nick is teaching English/Ingles to kids and a lawyer or two in Chile and living with Carolina.

In Oz, Paulie worked long hours producing for ABC radio as well as starting work on a new book for the ABC. Owen moved back from England to join the family. Sort of - he is still travelling to Europe every month. Clan Traynor purchased a propery in Kenmore Hills and plan to build. Owen and Stephen drove Owens' new car up from Melbourne (in one go - an 18 hour drive!). Stephens' Bro Chris did the same (but over some days) some weeks later and showed us Louises' new car- his Lotus needed a Porche pal. Olivias' step sister Chantelle dropped in from NZ for a night as did Paulie and Stephens' pals Zol and Robyn. The weather warmed up markedly (and awoke all sorts of replitian neigbours), Olivia played her last club netball game for the season, we visited Paulies' sister Jan and the east coast of Australia had a dust storm! Never a dull moment.
