Hi everyone, sorry not written for ages. We have been back now for nearly 3 months and the season has turned to autum, although the weather is still hot and sunny. There is a slight difference in temp. in morning. They have daylight savings next weekend and the clocks get put back an hour. Its not the same all over oz just certain states. We have been busy at work, Brent has been doing some concreting for an italian guy and I have started work in the private hospital in coffs. All very different but the staff are lovely and the hospital is quite small but positioned in lovely grounds surrounded by mountains. We have also joined the State Emergency Service volunteers. We had training for 2 weekends in general rescue and we had training in all sorts of things like rescuing trapped public, searching buildings, lifting equipment and even absailing. I have put on a picture of us in our very attractive (not) uniforms lol

Brent is going to learn surfing from his cousins son who has just moved back from Gold Coast and Brent is going to teach him windsurfing, so they are swapping skills ,not sure if its evenly balanced but at least brent gets to surf, it might take Jareth a while to windsurf though dont think brents windsurfer has seen daylight for over 4years lol

Tommorow is Easter and we have been invited to dinner at someone from the ses's house. Bad news about easter here is most of the chocolate tastes horrible, nothing like british choccy, I have found some nice tasting chocolate however so all is not lost. Well we hope you all have a lovely easter and looking forward to seeing you on our summer trip over May 24th for 8-10 weeks. love Brenty and Gilly xxxxxxxxxxxx
