mandy Bunce Hi edd have booked our hotel in bali- only 2 weeks and we will be with you :-) Let me know if there's anything you would like us to bring out. Lots of love mumxxxxxxxxxxxxx

mandy Bunce Hi Edd We are waiting for a blog from bali....... Lots of love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxx

Jayne Hi Ed I'm sitting on your lounge settee having just eaten one of your mum's lovely dinners. Even though I am following your blog it still seems strange without you here. The house looks lovely, your dad has worked really hard designing and building cupboards everywhere, your room next! Take care love Auntie Jayne x

eddb Hi mum. Glad you like them, I quite enjoy 'photography' if taking a few photos on my phone can pass as that haha. Yeah, I am on my way to Sydney today. I will meet up with and stay with one of my mates tonight called Craig. Havnt seen him since I left spot x originally and he's a great bloke so it'll be good to catch up with him. Looking forward to its. That Dave guy was Brit/Aussie, lived in both on and off. Those Bali dates sound perfect. Let me know when it is all confirmed. You'll lave to look on the Web, but January is classed as 'off season' in Bali I think, so there should be plenty of accomadation available. You may even choose to book the 1st week somewhere and then the 2nd once your there...gives you more freedom. Up to you. Lots going on at home still then, like I said before I look forward to seeing all the changes once im back! I'm fine thankyou. Had my best surf for weeks yesterday so in a pretty good mood now! Love Edd x

eddb Hi edd. Photos you have taken are great- love the sunset( you have a real"eye" for a good photo. Are you heading north again? Any luck contacting friends in Sydney? What nationality was Dave in the pop up camper? He seemed a nice guy. I have confirmed at work I can have time off in jan 2013. It will prob be 17-28 th jan. Dad & I will do some more planning this wkend. I may fly with dad & not use Mary's flight, as I have found out today I will have to pay for the connection to Bali as emirites don't fly there. Dad & I dug the ground behind the new fencing at the wkend & will plant new hedging this wkend. Kitchen looks really big in its new colour( slightly darker than sunroom) sandy is painting the hall, stairs & landing this wk... So we are slowly getting things up together at last.. Hope all well with you? Lots of love. Mumxxx

eddb Hi Mum. The beaches I have been to over the last few days have been so beautiful! I have LOADS of photos, but they are all on my camera so you'll have to wait till I'm back in Queensland for me to DropBox them home. I have met some really nice people, yes. You'll see in the last couple of days blog I met some Hawaiians who were so cool. I mentioned the weather in my WhatsApp I just sent you. That's mental?! I saw photos from Daisy Wakefield that the brook burst around their house, which is how I knew about the floods. Can't say I am experiencing anything like that here; about 25 degrees and bright sunshine each day! The sea breeze in the afternoon is very strong though. Hope the benger blaze is good, and isn't a wash out!! Being spooked by mice is even worse than me and the fox! Glad Tom did well in his exam. Edd xx

eddb Hi Grandma and Grampy! Glad you are ok, and are able to keep up with what I am up to via here. Unfortunately I won't be able to Skype, as I only get use of the Internet every now and again when I stumble across a Mc Donalds. When I am back at the family friends I stayed with before (in about 3/4 weeks) I will let you know and we can Skype then! Edd x

eddb Hi Jayne, The whales are just amazing. I'm seeing them almost every day being at the coast all the time. Unfortunately I Havnt got a camera which I capable of taking the long range shots really, but I'll give it a go! Edd x

Mandy Bunce Hi Edd Glad you have been able to do some surfing :-) The beaches look tremendous ,and you seem to be meeting some nice people. The weather has turned very cold , and yesterday we had snow! there was 3 inches of snow in Bath , and cars got stuck! Sutton benger was on the local news as we had lots of rain as well as snow. There were floods in the village,on Draycot Cerne straight, Kington Langley, and lots of cars got stuck in the floods. We had to drive to the motorway roundabout and down the dual carriage way to chippenham to get out the village. Bond movie was great, this weekend its benger Blaze! Big news today, Dave got spooked by mice in the shed and Tom got 86%in his biology test! Lots of love for now, mum xxxxxxxxxx

Bunce Hello Edward We are reading your blog when we can and glad you are having a good time. We are fine and Grampy is buying an iPad and having wi if put in so we can keep up with your news. We are going to Sutton Benger next weekend it would be nice to Skype with you. Love from Grandma and Grampy.

Jayne Hi Edd So jealous of your whale watching , we love it and have been to Iceland and Canada to see the hump backs. Can we have a picture of some next time? Take care. Jayne x

eddb Hi Mum. Yea the surf was crap for a while, but had some really good sessions while at Spot X. Car is great..apart from the cigarette lighter broke so until I find a garage to fix it I can't charge my phones or my SatNav which is SOOOOO annoying. The road by yourself is pretty lonely your right, but as long as I keep busy it doesnt really bother me..so far. I got my skateboard for 120 bucks, as you will see in my blogs I have just posted - I just submitted about 10 days worth! These are the touristy states really, West Oz would be unreal. Next time. Love Edd xxx

eddb Hi Jayne! I don't mind you following it at all! Im glad you enjoy reading it. Byron is such a cool place. Thankyou, speak soon. Xx
