Am so wishing I was with you! It's back on the hamster wheel for us tomorrow! Lots of love Jo XXX

How funny is that video of Mardie. Hilarious.xxx

Hey Kelly, enjoying your blogs. If it's heat you wanted you should have come here first - it's been between 32 and 40 for weeks. Beaches are apparently crap though (can't confirm cos I haven't been yet). Glad you are having such a good time. Love Craig, Barbara & Caleb xxx

I lived in Perth for 5 months as a student at University of Western Australia - Mount Lawley campus!! Love it there, so clean. Loved Coteslaw (?) beach and Scarborough Beach - gorgeous, remember gazing at the stars there. Oh...I'm so jealous!! Have a great time - any board waxing offers yet?

Hi Kelly, your fantastic photos of Sydney took me back! Sky was blue and cloudless when I was there though!!!! Looks like you're having a great time - hostels not withstanding!!! Love Jo XXX

Is that you in Sidney for a while. I seem to remember you saying 8 months, remind me. It just looks so fantastic out there. You look great, relaxed and having fun. Just what the doctor ordered. E-mail me and send me your mob so I can txt. If thats you settled in Sidney set up a skype account and lets get some video phone calls on the go. Love you loads honey. Take care Jan x x x x x

Hi Kelly-welly, just a quick note cos off on holiday tonight. Really looking forward to some rest and relaxation and of course a bit of SUN - you don't have exclusive rights to it you know! Hee hee!! Glad you are keeping in touch and it was so lovely to hear your voice the other day - a complete surprise. Love you millions and miss you just as much. Your loving mum xxx

Hi Kelly, here we go again, I just wrote a huge message but apparently it wasn't good enough. Anyway hope you are having a brilliant time. I am jealously looking at all your sunny pictures while once again the heavens have opened in Scotland! I am loving the idea of you carting around a 30kg suitcase for a year, forget the hostels and do it in style! Enjoy yourself and take care. xxxxxxxx

That room in the photos looks like Ardroy. I want to be there.xxx

Hey you. Hope you've reached your next destination safe and sound. Tried to text you but it's not sending for some reason. Thanks for shraing the Fratelli's wi me. Keep having fun. Sending you a huge hug.xxx

Hi Kel, thought it was supposed to be winter out there?? Looks lovely...thinking about you always. Take care and have lots of fun. Let me know when you're planning to go to Houston cos I may just join you there. Would be lovely to meet up with the Muirheads again cos missing them too. Love you. xxx

Kelly your photos are wonderful! You obviously made the right decision to go. You will have so much fun this year - you've already done so much. I loved the koala bear! Please bring me a real one back in your suitcase! Take care and have lots and lots of fun. love Sam XX
