Your auntie has made a good case for the van having a sex change,therefore I change my vote to Sheila.xxxxxxxxxxx

Hey good to catch up with all your news! However Blair, why does the van have to be male? I think if you want it to be strong, reliable, hardworking, uncomplaining -these are all feminine traits, displayed by many put-upon women over the years! My vote is for 'Sheila', 'Van-essa' etc. Happy driving whatever you end up calling it. John is very jealous about Jack Johnson concert and he would willingly swap places with Sarah that night.... Take care, lots of love, Lesley

Hi,the van looks good.Hope it gets you there with no problems.Just a few suggestions for a name(sorry Blair I'm with Sarah,not Ernie).What about Moby(mobile home),Bluebird,Bruce,Fergie,Rowie,The Flying Scotsman,although I can imagine the name it will get if it breaks down halfway there!Love from everyone to you both.xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi hope you both had a merry xmas. It's so nice to get your blogs and to hear that you are have a great time on your adventures. Love Margaret Deek ,Ashley & Sean xxxx

Just thinking of you on Christmas Day! I hear you are back in Perth, so no doubt you will be celebrating Christmas with a barbie on the beach. It was -2 this morning - no snow tho' - so enjoy your 38 degrees! We will be thinking of you as we tuck into turkey - just make sure you have a great time. With love and best wishes, John and Lesley xx

Happy Xmas to you both!It probably doesn't feel like Christmas when its 38 degrees.It won't be the same without you this year and Iwill miss you Blair making sure the fridge gets a clearout regularly.Will drink a toast to you tomorrow.Counting the weeks till April when we meet up inOz!Love from mum and dad,Steven,Gavin and the usual over the top greeting from Fergus.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
