Siobhan Are yis there yet????? (Home, I mean!!)) - Lorraine, if you text me the no at Seskin(?) I will give you a call! I can't wait to hear all about the journey home! - Hi Robin - Did you survive Bangkok? - What a dive eh!!

Dixie Woof Woof - Lorraine and Robin - I have just come back from my holidays at the doggie spa and I am all soft and clean - I couldn't believe it when I cameand you had gone and left me without saying goodbye - I was so looking forward to all your attention Lorraine - I sniffed around the whole house and the only scent you had left was outside the front door where Robin left his workboots each night (and boy was that strong!!!) Anyway, Lorraine I miss you heaps..............thanks for putting me on the internet - Siobhan stuck the pictures from the internet on the fridge so I make sure everybody sees how cute I am! It really is all about me!!!

Ariane Hi Lor and Robin Do you remember me? I am one of the Swiss girls who sailed Whitsundays with you two and who is even on your pictures on this page! How are you both doing - from what I read here you are very well and still down under! I really envy you! It has been such a great time travelling around and nearly a year back. I think it will soon be time to go again! I just wanted to let you know I am fine too even though I am back home in Switzerland and everyday life has be back. I am planning my next holiday again though and imagine, I will go to beautiful Ireland!!! Cool, isn't it? So take care and I really hope I will see you both again - either in Australia or in Europe somewhere! Kisses Ariane

claire o c Hi lorraine and robin. By the looks of things ye are having a great time. hope all is going well for ye. Finally finished course so starting to get out again!!!! Take care Claire

Lor Luckily Robin rarely gets a chance to read the board-he'd be gutted if he's not really a legend!!!! It's true I have some contacts in the realm of eligible-males! I think I'll have to update my directory though cos they're dropping like flies! working very hard at the moment-as you can see- so can't stay long! Siobhanski I don't know what we'll do when we move on either! You guys look after us far too well! But I tell you what it's watch out Carlow and the surrounds once you land in December! What fun, what fun.......

Siobhan Hey Alfie, My brothers are pretty switched on (some of the time anyway) - They knew that there was no point wasting time on Lorraine that she could manage a few drinks on her own and be a bit 'twisted' - they knew they were gonna have to pull out the big guns to make Robin fall!!! - That didn't work and now he is a 'ledgend in these parts' - At least that is what we tell him!!!! I'd say you must all miss them heaps..............I don't know what I am going to do when they are gone! - I will have to start advertising soon for some new tennants for the upstairs digs!! If you know of any single, eligible and filthy rich men under 40 send them on!! - Perhaps I should advertise in the Nationalist or just get Lorraine on the case - She knows the whole of Ireland and their cousins!

alfie alrite lads, im guna be the 1st to say it, its about time...ah no i no ye are workin hard over there so all comunication is valued to release the boredom of not being in cork any more...the new pics are powerful, it looks really cool over there. i can defo see robin being snap happy like...siobhain be glad that ur brudrs didnt take on loraine or ye would have been in bed by 10. Wish i could be there, but how and never theres always 'costa del blackhall'.

Bernadette Kearney hello mrs,hows all going for ye down there?we are still in sydney getting cold up here,where ye planning on going next? ps i never knew you had this web site.....

Loraine More photos folks-I know I'm a mile behind! Doing my best to catch up-but Robin takes SO many photos!!! I hope you all read the postcard!

Loraine As you can see Siobhan is one of the most fantastic friends! Looking after us fierce well altogether! There certainly have been some funny moments! Just put a new postcard on the site so have a read....

Siobhanski Well lads, I don't know what these 2 tourists are telling you all but they are living with me at the moment and enjoin' a very cruisy existance let me tell you all !!!! Robin - You should be on here updating all your friends and family as to the shennanigans happening in the Yarra Valley!!! (once youv'e fixed the shower of course...heehee!! - Robins new job - Handyman!!) ..............well..........seeing as Robin is sooooo busy....................Did you get outta bed at all yesterday Robin?!!!!! Meanwhile Lorraine and I are working ourselves to the bone trying to keep this ship from sinking!!! Ah no I am only joking - Its great to have you both......... Its been a laugh if nothing else................2 funny moments I might mention here on your website: My brothers tried to put Robin under the influence of alcohol (to put it mildly)(but he was having none of it - either that or he has hollow legs that contain alcohol sponges!) at the Australian U2 show but it backfired and one in particular brother of mine cannot remember the end of night at all !!!! - another funny incident - .............. I called the fish and chip shop last week and ordered tea - When Lorraine went to pick it up the Italian woman in broken English at the shop told Lorraine that she had no order there - Lorraine called home in a state of confusion only to discover I had called a fish & chip shop aprox 30km's away by mistake!!!!! ooooops!!!........We didn't make her drive there even tho' we were all starving..........................C how nice we are here in OZ!!!!!!! PS On Lorraine & Robins advice I have decided to change my house into a B&B.....................but I thought a home for the bewildered was more apt!!! xoxoxox Siobhanski
