Hi guys! how are ya? all good i hope! its bloody freezing here! I know your so jealous arn't you? not!

So anyway ive got some bad news....We got in last night from prezzie delivering and....well....smudge was dead can you believe it 2 rabbits in the space of a year! He was fine in the morning when i fed him...eating like a trooper as usual so i covered his cage up to keep him warm and when will went to give him some broccoli for an evening treat he was dead :-(So we have decided no more animals for a while first it was sharkey and george then bunny no1 and now smudge. Joshi thinks he has gone to sleep on a warm fluffy cloud! bless him!

Anyway enough depressing news for one day! hows life in oz? still amazing! can you believe its christmas next week? Time is flying by....which is obviously a good thing cause that means you will be home sooner!! yay! not that we've missed you! hee hee! I went to see your mum at the weekend she is doing fab! bless her missing you loads though and i think she is slightly concerned about you eating normal people food! I mean for example steak!! all the times over the years that we have had to have chicken and now your away you have decided you like steak! whats that all about? hee hee!

Anyway i will love ya and leave ya! oh but before i go wheres my long email that you promised when you text? how RUDE!! hee hee!

Hello Ricky and Sam, On my way now. Cannot wait to see you both, I am excited and cannot wait to get on that plane. See you both soon love mum xxx

Hello you twos,

Was great talking to you last week and even better seeing you via the webcam. I don't mean to make you envious but we had a fall of snow in November, some heavy frosts and gale force winds this week. Missing England? Yeah - like a toothache I bet ! Just out of the blue I fed 'Sam and Ricky' into google and you came up 3rd out of 275,000 . You must give it a try - it's not offexploring but a steal. I shall not say any more but let you find out for yourselves. We are all in good health here I think although I haven't contacted your aunty anne for a while. Must do that thing. Bye for now until we talk at xmas . Stay happy and safe, DAD XXX

hi guys

Im having loads of fun here in Redditch, no snow yet. How you doing over there, is the weather nice there hope you come back soon and all in 1 piece.

love from Nat

Hi guys! how are ya? hope your all well! We are all fine back here, just about coping without you both! I have just had a mooch at ya photos and your underwater pics were fab! really clear i'm very impressed! I don't really have anything to tell you i'm afraid we are short on gossip here but as soon as i hear anything you will be the first to know! i just wanted to check in so you know that we are still missing you and still very jealous!!!

take care guys! x x x x

Hi Guys, Not many days left and I will see you for myself, the photos are fantastic and I am enjoying them very much. I have just got back from Kent and the folks there all wish you well and safe travel. Keep up with the blogs and photos and see you soon, love Mum xxxxxx

Hi folks,

Keep those messages coming! Added two blogs today and lots of photos! Sam has also put lots of hers on facebook which i'm sure you're aware of. We are both well and have never been anything other than that (apart from the odd dodgy stomach in Thailand!!). Australia is a country jam packed with things to see and do and it keeps overwhelming us but i think we're just about managing it!

I hope everyone back home is well and not missing us too much!

Stay in touch!
