Guest The Williamsons Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi all, Firstly Id like to wish you all a "HAPPY NEW YEAR" as I havent been on since we left on 30th December 07. We celebrated our new year in Hong Kong which was amazing and then headed for our new home - Sydney! Since arriving, my husbands company were renting a place for us in Parramatta which was fab and just down the road from Westfields!!!! We have now moved into our own apartment in Baulkham Hills which is lovely but not in the hussle and bussle of Parramatta. My OH started work last week and now its just me and my 3 year old little boy home alone through the day. Last week was great as we went to the pool and had a walk up to the small but friendly shopping centre here in Baulkham hills, but as the weather is miserable at the moment we are practically stuck in doors. Im sure my little fella is getting fed up of my miserable face and hearing me moaning as I am of hearing him REPEATEDLY asking when the sun is coming back out, or if we can go to the pool!!!!! I have searched the net high and low for some playgroups in this area, but unfortunately they dont start till feb. If any of you out there is living close and would like to meet up for a coffee PLEASE mail me. I would love my boy to mix with other children as soon as possible as im sure he his missing his friends back in UK (as am I). We are living on Windsor Road and I dont have any transport at the moment (hoping to get that sorted next week) Catching the bus isnt a problem as long as I know where Im going!!!!!! I'll look forward to hearing from someone soon x Rebecca ( and Mackenzie) :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dizzy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Rebecca There are a group of expat mums who meet every Tuesday at Castle Hill RSL with preschool kids - looks like that's exactly what you need with your little one. I've just joined this site so amn't sure what the form is about mentioning other sites, but essentially you need to look at the British Expats website under meet ups and there is a thread going there titled "Castle Hill Tuesdays". Apologies in advance if that's against the rules! D x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orangegerbera2003 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi there I had seen a few people mention the "British Expats!" website. I have tried to find it but couldn't find it on the web. Would someone mind sending me the link? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jon & Di Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Sam (Sorry to hijack your thread Rebecca) My daughter is away staying with her cousins at the moment, but i'm sure she will find it quite a strain until school starts. Mnt Annan is about an hour from where we are staying at the moment, so feel free to contact and we could meet up and let our girls have a bit of a natter.

Guest zoeh11 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Di, I have recently met up with the british expats at the rsl, Castle Hill on Tuesdays. Did you ever make it?!! There's usually someone there and I've only been two/three times so not sure if we've just missed each other? I have a three year old girl and a 19 month old and we moved here six months ago. Another friend has a little boy of 3 too so come along!! We get there about 11.30 and it's really nice. Very laid back. The rsl have a facepainter, balloon man and quite often, a magician so it's great for all the littlies. Write back if you fancy getting together!

Guest TraceyKarlAndBoys Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, we moved to Sydney in 2006 and then to Perth in 2007, we're now moving back to Sydney in October to Baulkham Hills due to work. Can anyone recommend mothers groups etc in that area? We have two boys 4 and 3 plus expecting another in March! It would be nice for my wife to find like minded other mums to meet up with, if anyone can suggest anything it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi Karl I think the group still meets each Tuesday morning at Castle Hill RSL. I am sure your wife would be more than welcome to join them. Try posting here.... Castle Hill RSL - 2009. Tuesday Meets - 11am - Page 5 : British Expat Discussion Forum and hopefully someone will reply. Love Rudi x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
