Iskandar Sharazuddin Hah! I think mother you are the only one left reading this blog, your comments seem to dominate. At least if I ever move into writing I can be guaranteed one faithful reader. :P Thanks!

mum Agreed - it is all quite remarkable but you journalling is just as remarkable - you bring fresh eyes, explicit associations and drama to all that is and was... I am in awe of your continued ramblings and envious of your skill to pen so eloquently.... enjoy every word always eager for more.... how marvellous....

mum HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! have a raging party to bring in '09... London sure is the place for that... hope you continue your travels to explore further a field and experience the rich fabric of Europe... Then come home - miss seeing you around... love ya xx

JACQUIE Well you surely have explored all the old buildings we as children ventured around, some the same some quite different to my childhood memories!!!.....I know a long time ago!!!!..I must thankyou for the recent text message which woke me from a deep sleep!!! Glad you had a reasonable xmas. Back in London for new year, how fantastic partying in London city, always looked amazing on the TV. We love reading your blogs, you most certainly have a gift.....Take care, HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR. xxxxxx

mum Ahhhh!!!! Whitely Court - the memories flood back as I gaze upon your album and immerse myself in your eloquent prose. Rushing through the overgrown bushes to discover a staircase, to fall upon a dungeon, to ramble through an old stable... such a monument that surcombes to nature itself... now however I see manacured lawns, landscaped garderns and a fountain in all its splendour... no rubble to fossick in hunting for treasures of the past... it is wonderful to see the old place truly cared for... many a sunday afternoon was spent running through arches and exploring all that the grand old lady had to offer....

Tara Your writing is so poetic. Lovely to read. Whitely Court sounds amazing. Someday I'll go there and be able to apreciate it like you so clearly do. Have a great Christmas, take care of yourself and stay warm:)

Nan and Trudy We have just read your blogs and seen your albums and it looks as if you are having a great time and the christmas party obviously went off a treat. We did our best to see which girl you liked the best but could not make up our minds... have a wonderful christmas and new year Take care love you lots

Mary Hi Iskandar Congrats on your job in London. Loved the snot line by the way - nothing like a winter in Europe to make you appreciate how easy our winters in Perth are. There is something nice though about rugging up in great woolly coats to go down the road to the pub for a nice hot toddy! Make sure you visit Hamley's toy store and view the city lights for xmas. Have a wonderful christmas and a fantastic 2009. Mary
