Maggie Hello everyone, In case you don't know, Kirsty is now on her way home. Unfortunately, she has had to cut the trip slightly short as she was unwell. However, she is well on the mend now but is flying home as I type this. I know she has had the most awesome time having done all she set out to do and so much more but I'm sure she is looking foward to a decent cup of tea! I know everyone will wish her a safe journey back. She will update everyone in a couple of days.

Chris Mason Maggie. please keep me up to date. Thanks. Chris Mason

Maggie for Kirsty Dear All Kirsty is unable to get to e mail for a while but asks that I say hello to everyone and says please don't think she is ignoring anyone, she will get back to you as soon as possible.

Favourite Uncle Hi Kirsty, have just come back from two days in Bournemouth. Luckily is was a bit cloudy else I would have been on the beach and not the conference. Are you interested in the World Cup footie? England are doing well and leading their group. London was rocking tonight when they won the second game - the Aussie team is also currently leading its group - I bet there is plenty of amber nectar flowing when they play, right? Take care of you lots of love xxxxx

Auntie Jo Hi Kirsty Thank you so much for the fabulous post card from Oz - you're so good at keeping in touch! It sounds like you're having a fantastic time. We're pretty hot here at the moment so trying not to get too envious of you. We've all been going rusty just recently - rain, rain, rain! Take care of yourself and watch out for the spiders - look in the loo before you go!! Lots of love, Auntie Jo, Uncle Bri, Ollie and Emily xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad Hello darling - just a quick line to tell you that we all envy you lots as you travel around Australia drinking cheap wine and meeting all those exotic creatures - watch out for the koalas they're not all as cuddly as they seem and some have some decidely bad habits!! Take care you and keep filing the journal entries. X X X

Kirsty 'Goon' is the term used to describe the cheapest cheapest wine in the world. It comes in a lovely box with titles such as 'Simply fruity' Or 'quite crisp' written on the err.. box!!!! You get around about 4 litres for about 8 dollars (3 pounds!!!) yum!!! hmmmm i wonder who my secret admirer could be???? Could it be kiki dee???? seriously though I love the song!!! Pure genius. Very surprising for you my love!!! Nearly fell off my chair giggling too much and everyone is staring at me giving me funny looks!!! Bet ur pleased with urself! Love always Mong :-)

secret admirer For Kirsty in Australiaaa, It seems you've travelled really faaar, Jeez you're trip looks really groovy, Soon you'll be home back in Blighty, More fab times are what you'll haaaave, but anways you're still a scaaaaaab!!!! G'day Sheila!!! Can you tell who it is yet?! It seems that from dating some beach bum you've actually turned into one yourself! Who would've thunk it...Kirsty Marie McAra, Ac-Tor-Darling and surfer type dudette. Well I never. Glad to see you're still enjoying yourself, as much as it pains me to say it. I was hoping Australia was going to be rainy and boring, much like home really just with kangaroos. But no, alas, it seems luck was on your side this time. Now, being as you're my second best friend and all, third really if you count hettie, i ought to say something nice I suppose; I miss you lots and can't wait for you to get home so I can insult you to your face. Oh, the fun we shall have! Rude words galore!! Ta Ta for now, you dag!!

Mum Hello Sweetie I'm just sitting in the study having a cup of tea, I will be going to work shortly but I just had to ask you the question that I'm sure everyone wants to know the answer to. What on earth is 'goon'? You said you were having a 'few beers and goon', is it some strange food we've never heard of or is it slang for something we have? Love you lots. xxx

Cat hey hun, those recent photos are absolutely stunning, glad to see ur still having fun.....thought id give u a last quick message as im off to america on friday, Dutchess County,NYC!!....but i will ring u as soon as i get back which will be around the beginning of sept, the 1st i think and we can have a drink and exchange stories!! love u as always!! Cat x x x x

Nick hi cuz!!! how are things going down under? dad just showed me your homepage etc and your trip seems to be amazing. you have done so much and seen so many different things, im slightly jealous! life here is good, i have officially finished uni now and just dossing until i start my full time job on 15th June. i hope you have a good rest of your trip, and ill speak to you some time soon. Take care and best wishes Nick

Favourite Uncle Hey Kirsty, it was good to catch you this morning and exchange text messages, then to read your latest journal entry today. I was wondering what you would do to top bungee jumping! Learning to surf sounds really good fun too. Won't life be mundane back in England!! Mind you, when you are a famous actress you will have the money to do all these things again!! It sounds like Oz is still warm despite it being late autumn there. It is warmer than the UK, and it is supposed to be nearly summer!! Any prospect of any work, or will you spend the rest of your time topping up your tan LOL. Take care of you and continue to have fun and be safe lots of love Uncle Chris xx
