We are the Donaldson family – Alan, Kirstin, Ella, Charlie, Ruby and Poppy. Originally from Edinburgh in Scotland, we now live Melbourne, Australia. After deciding to give ‘a life down under’ a go, we found out we were having our first child – Ella. We then delayed our adventure to have Ella born in Scotland and then moved in October 2005 with Ella only 12 weeks old.
Eighteen months later along came our boy Charlie and in October 2008 we celebrated the very early arrival of our new twin girls, Ruby and Poppy.
We live in a great part of Melbourne, beside the beach and Albert Park Lake. As you’ll see we have lots going on and our life is busy and fun – we seem to never stop!
This blog is for our family and friends to read our experiences, thoughts and adventures!
