Katie og Rob samt børnene Sophie, 6 år, Lara 4 år og Elodie på 2 år er flyttet på landet.
Familien stammer fra Caversham, ca. 30 miles fra London. Det seneste år boede de i Vejle, men ville gerne bo på landet, tættere på Billund, hvor børnene går i skole og Rob arbejder..
I England arbejdede Katie med markedsføring i 14 år, hvor det drejede sig om markedsføring af film, DVD’er og computerspil.
Rob har arbejdet hos BBC og senere hos Nintendo, inden han fik ønske jobbet hos LEGO. Rob er leder for 40 medarbejdere, hvor ca. halvdelen taler engelsk og resten dansk. Aftalen var fra start, at børnene skulle gå i den internationale skole i Billund, men der var ikke plads! Men heldigvis lykkedes det alligevel.
Parret øver sig i det danske sprog, og indrømmer det er svært. Katie fortæller, at det går meget hurtigere med børnene, og hun håber, at hun kan lære dansk gennem børnene, der allerede kan mange ord.
Katie passer deres to ponyer og to islandske heste. Hun nyder rideture i omegnen og meget gerne i fredfyldt natur. Hendes næste projekt er bygning af et shelter til hestene, så de kan komme i ly og læ, når det regner og blæser.
Familien er aktive og selvfølgelig var de Billund rundt, da der var Halloween

New family on Skjoldbjergvej 55
Katie and Rob and their children, Sophie, 6 years, Lara, 4 years and Elodie, 2 years, have moved to the country.
The family comes from a place called Caversham, about 30 miles from London. The past year they have lived in Vejle, but really wanted to live in the countryside, nearer to Billund where the kids go to school and Rob works
In England Katie worked for an advertising for 14 years promoting movies, DVDs and computer games.
Rob has worked at BBC and Nintendo before he got his dream job at LEGO. Rob is managing 40 employees, where about half of them speak English and the rest Danish. From the beginning the agreement was that their children should attend the international school in Billund, but there were no free slots! Luckily they found a solution.
The couple practice their Danish and admits that it’s hard. Katie notes that the children are doing much better, and she hopes they can teach their parents some Danish, as they already know many words.
Katie looks after their two ponies and two Icelandic horses. She enjoys riding in the neighborhood and in the peaceful nature. Her next project is the construction of a shelter for the horses, so they can take cover from the wind and the rain.
The family is active in the community and naturally they walked around Billund for Halloween.
