How blue is that sky ??? How blue is the sea ??? How gorgeous is that beach !! Made me feel warm just looking at it. Hope you're keeping well, missing you lots, Vxx

Hi Dee

I absolutely love the Orchid gardens too, they are beautiful and Raffle's hotel, Wow!

You have reminded me of my trip to Oz, I went to Mosman beach, which is where I would love to be right now! (it's getting really cold again!) Did you know they call Perth "The city of lights", which you can see why in your photo's by night!

I can't believe the speed of your travels, I hope it is going slower for you! Take care and continue having a wonderful time. Luv u lots Sue xxx

Hi Hon,

Just sitting in the General Office at Green St Green doing a compliance review and wishing I was somewhere else!! Got to thinking about you and so I thought I'd say "Hi"!

Is it really hot in Oz? I've been reading about it being 40 degrees at night out there! I guess you're on your walkabout now and have left Perth. Take care and keep having fun.

Miss you loads, J xx

Never a dull moment by the looks of things. I'm finding it hard to keep up, are you sure you're not travelling in a time machine. I know you must be shattered but you've got us all hooked on your blog. I'm enjoying every minute of your journey....reading it ofcourse! Everything looks and sounds fab and I pray the rest is even more memorable Inshallah.

Keep well and keep writing, miss you and love you loads.

Just read the update, your notes on Singapore brought back lots of memories and Australia, well what can we say,want to go there already. Looking forward to the next entry. Debbie and I are having lunch when she comes back from Somerset so we can arrange a date when we can book the trip to Krackow, looking forward to that and the time when we can see you in the flesh again and give you lots of hugs (can you let us know the exact name on your passport so we can book for us). Can't wait, really looking forward to it. Enjoy the rest of Australia that you are due to see, will blog you again before you leave for NZ, our Favourite place, p.s Vince is here beside me this time and sends his love...................woah, enough already!!

Love you loads and missing you but hope you continue to enjoy and have a fab time. Talk electronically soon. Jubbs and Vince. xxxxxxxx

Hi Dee, how are you enjoying Oz?

Am away in Somerset all this week coming, so look forward to reading your blog when I come back, Have fun.Lots of love Debbie xx

Hi Dee, Glad to see you are still having a great time. Raffles hotel must have been amazing, it must have been like you were in a time warp. We are loving catching up with all your photos and blogs but we are very jealous. Take care of yourself and loads of love. Jayne,Grant & Michael xxx

Hi Dee, so there you are in my favourite place in the world - I'm not at all jealous - not much!

Sounds as if you have had a ball and lots of family time which I know is really important to you.

Look forward to hearing about the next leg of the journey.

Take care babe love from Carolyn, Neil and Ellie xx

Hello Dee ,hope you are still enjoying Thailand I trust you are well and have picked yourself up of the floor when you relised who this is , when we got back to the U.K. we were locked out in the night freezing cold Allan had lost the keys to the house after 30 mins we found them in his bag typical .Keep safe and hear from you soon love Debbie and Allan xxx

Hi Dee

Just looked at the last round of photos. Fab, must have been a really relaxing week for you and no doubt well received, certainly well deserved. Quite a bit different from our recent weekend where we took Vince's Dad to Brighton for a 4 day mini holiday. Despite the weather I think he enjoyed himself which is the important thing.

You will be in Oz by now and soaking up the sun I expect.

Stay safe and have lots and lots of fun out there. Watch out for the creepy crawlies and spiders etc xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Salaams Dee Aunty!!
