Hi Dee

I love your pic's, they look fantastic, wish I was there, especially New Year Eve, what a lovely way to spend it.

Enjoy your time in Oz, you may find you wish you had a bit of our snow to cool you down! Actually it's mainly wet now, we have had flood warning now!!

Look after your lovely little self and bye for now! Lul Sue xxx

Lovely to speak to you the other day. Had another bad day off snow today, horrendous journey to work - but we were saying at work how we are getting used to it, although some people are taking advantage and not coming in.

I am looking forward to my week off when we go to Spain on Friday and enjoy some warmer weather - flight permitting. I was optimistic yesterday and packed some food stuff away and then we had more snow, but inshallah it will clear up by Friday.

You now enjoy the rest of your time, now that the voluntary work is over, relax, chill and explore - that's what its all about.

Speak soon.

Salaams from all of us.

Salaams Dee,

My first ever wtite on a blog. I feel young and couth. Next I will do twitter.

I will not write as much as I do get feedback via our phone call. A quick Q. Which notebook or netbook did you get. Love to knoe. Hope it has an integrated camera so that you can go on Skype with live pictures and voice. By the way, when you are in Perth ask the Kokni boys to add the Skype program on to your new gadget in case you are not too sure of doing it.

Australia has some wondweful mangoes. Do try them and think of me as the juice trickles down your throat. I have finally found a new place. We are moving out of the villa and into an apartment, which is on Sheikh Zayid Road in the vicinity of Burj Khalifa, formerly Burj Dubai. We will be moving in on Jan 21, Inshallah.

Take care, be careful and talk to you soon. Give our salaams to Khala, Iqbal, Shabbir, Jaju and their respective wives in Perth.

Hi and Salams to you all,

I've been keeping an eye on the weather and am praying that it gets better soon. I've received emails from some of you, describing the horrendous journeys you've been having to and from work. I've also heard on the news this morning, that more snowfall was expected, so please keep safe when you're on the roads.

I'm at Singapore airport on route to Perth, so guess I'm heading for warmer climate (oh I feel like I'm rubbing salt into the wound, but honest it's not done intentionally).

I've just updated the blog with my trekking week and will try to catch up with the rest soon !

Take care and be safe, Dee x

You will be in Singapore by now. Hope you continue having a fabulous time and get lots of food to eat there, as Hashmat says, you need feeding up. Already waiting to see the photo's of Australia and NZ, not that I am wishing your long leave away for you!! Enjoy and have a safe onward trip to the next continent. Lots of love. Jubby & Vince. xx

Hi Dee,

Looks like you are having a great time and experiencing so many different things.

We have enjoyed looking through all the photos and reading the blog, you are doing a great job keeping us up to date.

Keep safe and best wishes

Salaams Dee,

What an amazing experience at the Orphanage. I can't believe, I left it this late to read your blog and what a fabulous journey you're having. I'm loving every moment of your adventure. I've finally caught up with all the reading - truely inspiring. I can't wait for the rest.

It did upset me to see all the children of all ages at the Orphanage but you put a smile on all of their faces. You filled their hearts with joy which i'm sure they'll treasure for a long time. Inshallah, I pray we can go together next time.

All the pictures are fabulous, but you sure can do with some serious feeding. Enjoy the rest of Journey and have a safe one. Keep smiling and keep writing, I'm really enjoying it!

Take Care, Love you loads
