Hello, do not worry if you have seen the last posting today from me with no narrative. I did not have a heart attack but somehow inadvertantly "added the message". All is well, MC, Jim and Beth are here as I post this. We had a walk in the park today - it was beautiful. Mae arrived with Sophia and her friend Louise. My oh my can Sophia blether! I only asked one question (about her holiday) and now I know all about Rhodes and the donkeys on the island. It was great! Photographs to follow by e mail. Keep us in touch with the work situation and of course about lfe in OZ. Love Dad.

Hello, it has been a wee while since I put anything on your message board but as you know, the e mails have been more regular. I hope you liked the photographs of Beth, her mum and dad, grandparents et al. The poor wee soul is fair worn oot wae gettin' her photae takin. She is however simply beautiful and I could spend all day just looking at her. The marvels of life! As Mum Mae says in her posting, it sounds as if you had a good time visiting the kangeroos. I look forward to your update of the web site incorporating the Melbourne leg. Now of course you have "hopped" over to Sydney and are with Stephen. Give him my regards. Wiil be in touch soon again. Love Dad John

Hi Amanda and Greg,

Sounds like you both had a brilliant time hiking in grampian national park,must have been amazing getting so close to the Kangaroos.
The goldmining town sounds a bit of a let down.Hope Kalgoorlie is a bit more interesting,although we will only be there for 5 days before flying to Sydney.
Met up with Lindsey,lara and Linda yesterday,Had a nice lunch and caught up on all the news.You are going to miss Brenda and Dannys wedding,its the 10th march 2007 in the Bentley hotel.
Sophia will post a message later,she was so excited when i told her
about all the kangaroos that were hopping past you as you were
talking to me on the phone.Logan is a bit quiet today,has a cold and i have just noticed a rash on his back and legs,will have to keep an eye on that.
Enjoy your last few days in Melbourne,will speak to both of you again before you fly to sydney

Take care,

Lots of love to both,

Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Guys,
Well as you will have worked out I have at last managed to work the spanish computer !!! yee ha, Just spent ages lookin through all the photos and - what can i say .. the pair of you are nuts. You wouldn´t catch me doin half of that stuff (and thats with a drink). Looks totally amazing and looks and sounds like you are havin a really good time. It´s great being able to follow you on your travels and see you in all the pics (lovin the curls Maz). Keep in touch, take care, and have a fabby time, the pair of you !

Hello again! Sorry we haven't posted in a while but as you can imagine, it's been a little hectic here. Your pictures continue to be amazing, I can't believe how much stuff you've managed to cram into the last few weeks. Glad you enjoyed your birthday Greg, it was great to get to speak to you on the day (although it was strange with it being the day before here).

We are all well here. Beth is great, growing every day! I've got some more pictures that I'll try to email to you today. We've managed to get out and about a little in the past week or so as Jim is now off work. We've been taking her on a tour of some of the hospitals to show her off to all our old work colleagues before we leave.

This will be our last posting from Durham. We are moving tomorrow! Dad is down today, helping with the packing etc. We'll get the computer set up again once we're in Strathaven so we can still keep in touch.

Love from,

M.C.

Hey ma wee travelling buddies,

Happy (belated) 30th Birthday Flembo! Sorry i didn't get a birthday message to you on time but after coming back my holidays i've been pritty spaced out, but whats new eh!!! Looks like you had an absolute ball anyway. Definately beats a night in the old weatherspoons i'd say.

Just checked out your website and my god its amazing. Canny believe how much you's have done especially some of the crazy stuff, you guys are nutz but mega!!!

So, off to Oz next, how exciting. Can't wait to get an update from there.

We had a fantastic holiday but just can't believe thats it all over and now back to reality, boo hoo! I'll tell you all about it in my email as i don't want to take up the full message board.

Have the best time ever and look after each other

Missing you's loads n loads

Ooops, sorry, didn't know what happened with the previous post.

How are you both getting on ? Great by the looks of it. The pics and journals have been excellent, keep up the good work. The things that you have been getting up to are too scary for me, you know me I'm a big woose. We are just back from NY, what an amazing time we had, need to e-mail some of the 300 odd pics that we took, looked soooo much like tourists, ha ha. Had a ball, didn't want to come home but unfortunately we had to. Oz at last, can't believe that is you nearly there already, time is flying by. Driving is coming along nicely, drive to and from work with Kez, another week then I think that I will go it alone, yikes. Kez doing great, on call AGAIN as of today. Will give you a call over the weekend.

Take care and luv ya both loads.
