Laura rang me last week - and she and Stu are fine, but nowhere near internet sites. I suspect we are in for a lot of photos in the near future!
Diane (Laura's Mom)
Spoke to Laura yesterday. She sounded in great spirits. In Brisbane now, and off to Sydney in a month for the onward trip to New Zealand. Mentioned an expected cyclone!!!! (How to scare your mother to death!!). We've already had to worry about a military coup and bush fires, so why not! I told her to lie on the ground if she saw one!! (A cyclone!). She said they weren't huge cyclones!!! She said Stu will be ringing his Mom soon, honest!!! (Stu, DON'T FORGET!!!).

Thanks Heather. Just warn John!!! May take you up on the shower! Could always use your water filled trampoline! Hooray! The lone daffodil is sprouting on your front lawn! Green fingers me!!! (Sorry Laura and Stu! Only time I seem to get to chat to the neighbours!). Glad you are still having a great time! Just seen your new pictures ... green with envy now, as well as green fingers!
Love you. Mom xx
Oona And Andy
Hi Guys, hope you're having a brilliant time .The photos look amazing. Can't believe how fast time is going. Take care love O and Andy xxx
Heather
Di...you are very welcome to pop round at any time for anything if we've got it.
The shower is a bit cold seen as though its in the garage. But the bath is nice and deep and there IS a lock on the door!!!!!
Mom
Hi Laura and Stu! At this moment in time! we have NO bath or shower, and one loo downstairs! (Hiding in the plaster dust!). Shall be knocking on Heather's door for a good wash soon! Will let you know when it's safe to come home! Enjoy Brisbane!
Love, Mom xx

Greetings from sunny Devon! Your mom is here. We havent stopped talking yet and it is now nearly 10.00 pm. We are round af John's house, and on his new laptop! Looking at all your super photos. We are considerably anxious about the whereabouts of Ted! Where is he? Your Mother has been making my hair curl with tales of Willy Wednesdays!!! I have led a very sheltered life! Don't mentlon the plumber, or Churchill Insurance Company!!!! Horrendous discoveries in your upstairs bathroom today! 5 leaks discovered, rotten joists, all floorboards to be replaced. Whole bathroom ripped apart. Apparently the bath could have gone through the ceiling at any time - seriously! She will tell you all about it. Must go now. John off to France tomorrow morning. Enloy yourselves and hope to see you soon. Love Auntie Joyce and Uncle Eric, John and Anne. xxx

Heather - too much information! Laura and Stu are heading up the east coast of Oz right now, where there are few internet cafes hence few messages at the moment. They seem fine. Won't be long til they are home! 1 June!!!
Heather
Di..... Not sure whether I was bouncing happily. It's the only bit of exercise I got at the weekend!!!!!!!!!!
Mother
Heather - so that is what that noise was!!! Who else would be out there on a dark and frosty night bouncing away happily????
Is that daffodil out yet in the centre of your lawn?
(Laura ... you have NO idea what wonderful neighbours we have!).
(They weren't vetted by Bournville Village Trust, obviously!).
Everyone ... when I last spoke to Laura, (last weekend), she and Stu were on their way up the East coast of Australia ... hence, they could be anywhere, and hence no photos just yet, or messages. I reckon there will be loads of photos SOON!).

Hi guys. The spring must've come early cos we have actually been on the trampoline. It wasn't for very long and none of the neighbours were out but we were there. Hope all is ok with you.
