Now I realise what Harry Potter fans go through when they're waiting for the next book to come out (I'm not one of those)! Just waiting for the next update of your travels - what's happening? I think you must be having a good time as you must have better access to provide updates - so I assume that you're just having such a blast, that you can't tear yourself away to update your blog. But come on now Amanda - we're all waiting to hear from you, so drop us a few lines. Seriously, hope you're having a ball! Take care xx

Loved the latest instalment of photos Amanda and I'll keep checking on the next chapter. I'll send you an e-mail also so that you know what's going on here (nothing as exciting as what you're up to). Enjoy Oz! And Alison W - if you read this - I hope you are doing ok in your new role and that all is going well with the wedding planning. xx
