I’m sitting here in my ATV writing this blog, enjoying the sea breeze and sunshine while the work crew is hard at work on the house. Siana and Allan arrived in Fiji about a week and a half ago and then arrived home to Mudrenicagi Estate a week ago ready to get started. ...
Another month has gone by and life continues to be as busy as ever. We started the construction of our house with the post holes being dug for the main part of the house. Arthur brought a power auger from Canada which really helped with the digging. The digging crew appreciated the assistance. Footings...
Its already been two weeks since I’ve been back to Fiji after my 6 weeks in Canada. I thought that my visit to Canada went quickly but the past two weeks has been a whirl wind. Arthur has so much on the go right now so it’s been challenging for me to get caught...
We have been very busy during the past two weeks trying to get a lot done before I head back to Canada. Arthur will need a well-deserved rest once I leave this Saturday. I’ve tried to upload a few videos showing our progress on a number of projects on Vimeo as well as YouTube but...

I’d like to introduce our newest addition to our family, Bruno. I’m not sure how old Bruno is but he’s probably about 2 months old. We were visiting Arthur’s brother John this week and I just fell in love with this little bag of bones with big eyes. We’ve had him now for about...
First of all I’d like to let everyone know that Arthur and I and all our family in Fiji are well and doing okay after the category 5 tropical cyclone Winston hit Fiji on February 20th. Secondly, this is my 4th attempt to post this blog but due to limited and variable internet access...
