Hi both

Been a while since I've had the chance to catch up and see what you are up to. Had a look at the family pics - becoming a GREAT AUNT once is enough! Don't get any ideas yet! Enjoy your travels around oz and catch up with you again soon.

Love All in Bromsgrove.

Dora is the name for their car for anyone who might be familiar with the cartoon character.

Sorry to hear about those problems though, but it's good that you are still enjoying yourselves. Hope you stay cool tomorrow, as the weather with really start to hit you and make you understand what it is like to be out there in the red stuff.

May i start with a huge apology for lack of blogs and messages from ourselves, we have been very busy what with looking for a car and buying camping gear and abby having a baby! all very inconvient things! well at the moment we are in coober pedy, we had five nights camping which was great fun! now were staying in a hostel which is underground! its very unusual! anway we are fine had a couple of incidents with dora but im sure ricky will fill you in when we get a chance to blog it up! just a quick hi anyway! keep in touch

Hello you outbackpackers, No blog for a while must be because Uncle Ricky has his hands full with Ellie and Aunty Sam has hers full of messy nappies URGHHHHHHH. Did you hear about Radiohead selling their latest album online for whatever the downloader decided it is worth. Average price for the first week was £4. Now that is good considering there are no manufacturing or distribution costs. Coldplay are due to release their latest before Xmas. It will be a short (42mins max) album with a hispanic sound. Interesting! Well that and the fact that Elvis Presley is still dead winds up the music news. I am off to Patsys on the 26th for a long weekend and I'll bring you back a haggis but don't expect it to be here when you return !!! Stay lucky and alert. Miss you both. DAD XXXX

Hi both , well now you are over the exitement of seeing the new baby and their new house its time to get travelling again .I bet you are looking forward to going into the outback and seeing some more smashing sights to make us all jealous again. Its been great to hear from you and hopefully we can keep in touch whilst living in the great outdoors.Watch out for the crocs and Kangaroos , Ricky will only start eating them whilst you look for the Big Mac sign .Love to you both and speak soon

Dad

Hi guys, glad your still having a great time - just read your blog on singapore & agree that it's a lovely city (just doesnt have the smellyness of bangkok!). Well, we are well and truly back to the grind of day to day life in England and i am now working hard at uni whilst matt has just been offered a new job down in oxford which he starts in a couple of weeks. Matt has really suffered from the 'post travel blues' and longs for the days when we were riding elephants, trekking mountains & eating rice. We are now planning our next adventure as we need something to look forward to, so we are thinking of Africa! (but not for a while yet!!) Anyways, enjoy Oz you lucky duckies. As you can see i have embraced the beauty of facebook and can now keep up to date with all the gossip - it's great!
Love to you both, cant wait til your back so we can do the Thailand '07 reunion! Pad Thai & singha's all round!!

Well we finally heard from you , thought you had got lost in the outback or is that next month? Great to hear you are both enjoying it so much whilst we are hard at work paying our taxes. Make the most of your rest as I am sure as soon as you get a car Ricky will be getting itchy feet to start all that walking you love.Looking forward to seeing more photos of you both from Oz.My new phones working great and will try to sort yours out as soon as you let me know what to do? Nanny will be at home tomorrow if you want to text her and see if she can cope with Skype.

All the best to you both love Dad

Hey You Two!

Good to hear everything is ok. I keep checking your website to see where you are and what your up to. Stay safe travelling in Australia and keep in touch with us all. I still laugh at your doughnut incident!

Take Care,

Hello, glad you're still enjoying yourselves. Dad said he had spoken to you yesterday and you were in Australia - bit more civilised? Bet you're nice & brown now. Keep on having a good time. Speak to you soon.
