A few weeks after we arrived in Noumea, the english speaking play group was set up by a lovely lady who's been here a few years. Everyone's welcome and the kids all run around like crazy things for an hour or so before dinner time. We have made some fantastic friends through play group and we were sad when one of our friends had her final playgroup today before heading home tomorrow (blame the financial gloom, doom and low nickel prices).
Normally play group involves lots of chatting under the shade of the mango trees and the occasional dose of refereeing between the kids as they gear up towards dinner time! Recently, there was a Christmas BBQ down at the beach at Anse Vata. We went with our friends Kate and David who were visiting. It was such a treat to go out for a swim with Kate while Max paddled with his dad in the shallows. It was a lovely day and I think we all looked rather glam...

Hey Nicky,
Had a look at your blog...good read. I tried to start one myself a while back (Newfies in Noumea)but couldn't find the time. We (myself, my wife and our 8 month old son)are also living in Noumea on a work visa. We are wondering about the playgroup that you mentioned. My wife had heard of it before, but never got the details. We plan to be here for another 6 months, maybe longer.
