Hi Lynne Really enjoying reading your blog look forward to logging on to catch up with you. The whole experience sounds just amazing.. lock all the sights and sounds etc. in your mind and when you are back in Bolton and it's grey & raining and miserable you will be able to picture all the fabulous experiences you have had.
Sorry you have been feeling a bit lonely & down wish we could be there with you enjoying all the wonderful sunshine & scenery, we think that you are very brave and we are really proud of you.
Nothing exciting happening here the weather has been bright & sunny this week but still very cold.Jo & Scott & Sofia are going on holiday to Sharm el Sheikh on the 16th Jo can't wait to get in the sun! We haven't booked anything yet apart from a couple of weekends, I'm going down to Bournemouth in April for 4 days with 3 friends, so will be able to catch up with family down there, would love to go somewhere warm & sunny though before too long.
Would love to see your pictures how do I access them ?
Take care of yourself and lock all those wonderful memories away for the future
Lots of love xxxx

Hi Lynne, how nice was that couple to invite you out to dinner again, and what a restaurant, I looked it up on the web!!!! You've obviously impressed them with your charm and interesting conversation - you may meet up with them again!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Blue Mountains and all the birds, what an assortment. Your pics are amazing.

Vicky is very busy, never stopped since she got back - still extremely tired!!

I hope you enjoy the ride on the Greyhound Bus and the coast. Keep us posted and enjoy!!

Love you loads xxxxxxxxx

Hi Mum,
Sounds like you're having a great time again now that you're out of the city and into the back of beyond. However please do not go touching spiders, snakes or any other potentially venomous creatures - YOU MUPPET!!
I've had a look at the pictures on Flikr and they are really great. I've never seen so many amazing views - you must have taken snaps of every single mountain, river and tree you came across. Am going to show Jeanette tonight as she's been having trouble sleeping ;-)
You look absolutely petrified on the edge as you're about to throw yourself out of the plane for the skydiving. I still can't believe you did that - it's so brilliant.
Nothing happening here so going to be around most of the weekend and hopefully get to speak to you soon.
Love xxxx

Hello lovey

Just a quickie to say that all the pics are now on flickr

they look amazing

Hi Sheila just to let you know . It may be breathtakingly beautiful, and lovely and warm in OZ but the place to be last night was the Bob Smithy. WE WON THE QUIZ LAST NIGHT!!!!!!! We took the money!!!

Any road up, really glad you are enjoying Oz and seeing all that wild life and strange birds (it was a bit like that in the Bob last night). I was going to make a sad joke about you and a cockatoo but I thought better of it, ladies read these messages.

Seriously though, lets be careful out there, don't take too many risks and ENJOY!!! Spend plenty couse Ken thinks you are running up a debt mountain to match the third world. do a Viv Nicholson. Spend spend spend!! Ta Ta for now

David

Hi Lynne, the blog sounds awesome!! Had a look at a couple of your pics too, am liking the new hair do!!! I think i may have to do something similar, the humidity in cairns is not a good look for naturally messy hair anyway!!!

Are you travelling up the east coast? We are in Cairns at the moment and we leave on saturday to slowly make our way down to Melbourne. Hopefully we should cross paths then and we can meet up for a couple of days??

Our number is +61449802465 give us a text or ring and let us now your rought plans, as we pretty much know what days we are going to be in which places so we can arrange to meet!!

Looking forward to it, Safe travels.

My blog is blogs.statravel.co.uk/hrej1987 incase you haven't got it.

Hello from Harpenden! (not quite as glam as OZ)! It sounds like you are having a great time and really getting into the spirit of travelling, meeting new people and seeing amazing stuff (not sure about spiders though!). It is Wednesday morning now and finally we are having some sun here int he South! Tonight we are going to see Rhod Gilbert in Northampton and are really looking forward to it (Paul really hoping he does the sketch about the million tog duvet or the torch with the power of a million candles). Hopefully we will see more pics when Chris gets them onto Flickr. Keeping enjoying yourself and take care - love you loads xx

I enjoyed reading your posts! Thanks for sharing! What a fantastic trip!

Off to the quiz shortly to meet Jacqueline, David and Ken.

Your adventures just keep coming and coming. I like the sound of the ones involving wine tasting and famous fish restaurants overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Make the most of it Lynne, because it will pass in a flash. Everything sounds so fantastic, I almost feel as though I'm doing it with you - even the sky dive!!! (NOT).

Lots of Love from all of us xxx
