At the risk of sounding boring we love reading about your adventures and trying to picture ourselves being there with you. Arrrrrhhhh you may say who invited the parents , but you both describe your adventures so well that its not hard to imagine actually being there, well done again.
We have learned so much about places we may never see, and you make them sound so exiting, beautiful, foriegn, some times bizarre and often almost surreal compared to what we have or see here in Aus. We often get that 'I wish I was there feeling' to experience the things that you describe.
Hi R&D I was just thinking (oh no? dont worry it didn't hurt) Mum (Maureen) misses out on you wonderful stroies I WILL down load and post them off to her. Looking forward to the Blog on chilly Canada. xxooxxoo

Great to see and talk to you the other day hope you and Damien are well. I guess its about New Years Eve over there about now and your celebrating hard or sleeping it off. We had about 20 friends over last night for drinks to see the new year in. As you could image not a huge rage but still didn't get to bed till 4am consequently today has been very slow.
We had 85mm rain over Christmas which put a few more litres into the dam (it was very low) and is also now giving the lawns a bit of a green tinge.
Spoke to Lachlan via skype the other day which was a nice surprise when he rang, especially after weeks of silence. We will be spending a few days up with Jan before we pick up Lachlan from the airport on 11th January.
Hello to Damien, all the best for the New Year.
Love M&D XOXO

Great to hear from you and read the new blog. An excellent read, your best entry to date by far, you even brought a tear to your Mum's eye as we sat here at home and read the events leading up to and during Jane's stay. Will you be able to put a few pics of Jane's visit, the animals and some of the volunteers and the people that run the park on the next installment.
We were at the Lynton 3 day event yesterday helping out with the x-country jumps, the weather was kind for a change.
Very proud of both of you and the time and effort you have both put into the park. I guess it would also give you both a great sense of achievment and self worth when you can give so much to a cause and be rewarded by your efforts especially in your own hearts.
You made my day when i received your call at Al's the other day, almost as good as the one on my birthday while in Bourke.
Got to go to CADS rehearsal, luv yu's all

Hello Rebecca & Damine
I hope this message reaches you this will be the 5th time I have attempted to return a message. We have been enjoying chilly -7 mornings the temp not reaching double figures. It has been a little warmer over the past fre days. I love reading your journals you both have wonderful expressive written language. Felt sorry for the little monkey a smile did cross my lips. Rachel is down & had a peek at your blog will write when she returns to QLD. Have to go tea break over. Love you lots
