Hi Everyone, we are 10 days old in Doha and to make our life happy, we need our two children to be happy!! We are from Perth in Western Australia, however we've just spent the last two years in Houston so we're all looking to try and settle in asap and it's not easy when hubby has already started work and I start next Sunday! ugh!! I have a soon to be 15yr old daughter who will be commencing Year 10 at Sherborne in two weeks and a 12yr old son who will be at the same school in Year 7. Anyone out there with similar aged kids? We're in temporary accommodation at the moment but moving to Al Jazi Gardens end of Feb. We also have a dog and I was wondering if anyone knows of an area that is good for dog walks. I'm sure these are the first of my questions and I'd be grateful for any response and any advice on social clubs too. Thanks Sandy
