Hi Sis

I've just arrived back home to sunny Wales. It so quiet here without you girls!!!

What a brilliant holiday! I couldn't of chosen better people to experience it with-I've never laughed so much!

Onto the next chapter of your amazing travels. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip on the blog and hearing the uncensored stories when you get back!

Have an great time and look after each other!

Lots of love

Gaz 

Hi Sara:  Glad to hear you had a good time in the WhitSunday's.  I remember when my daughter Jolene was there on a sailing ship doing her dives and had a great time. Thanks for giving me your blog info, so I can follow the rest of your travels.  I looked at the pics and can't wait until you can send me the one of me with the snake and any others you may have that I did not get.  I definitely have the itch to travel more and one day go back to Aussie land.  Well, keep in touch. Love Marlene

Hi Guys

What I don't understand is when Stephen took me travelling I had to carry a ruck sack and our food consisted of a carrier bag of rich tea biscuits. They bred them tough in  those days! I think the modern version is much better - will have to have a go.Life is  fun here with all three kids doing exams and poor Becky has shingles to add to the fun. Stephen has escaped for twenty four hours to France. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Good to see all the photos of you up in noosa. Good to that Cate and Gaz are keeping you company now.

Looking forward to seeing them both and you of course on the weekend.

Say hello to them!

I have to get on the bus for surfing now!!

Lots of love xx

Hi Sara & Gaz!

What an awesome place! You will never want to leave it. Can't wait to see your diving pics. How's the underwater camera doing?

We will have to start saving! Australia is obviously the place for diving. Now, we just need to get Gaz and Jen through their PADI courses.

Looking forward to my new wet suit Gaz! Enjoy it you guys. Glad Gaz is finally taking a break - you workaholic!!

Loads of love from Jon, Jen & Meg x (who is pressed up against us trying to look for another dog picture!! Please send more.)

Hi Sara and Gareth. Glad you are all having a fab time. Your tan looks brilliant Sara, don't think Cate will every catch up, bless her!!! Looking forward to seeing pics of all the rugby hunks out there. Another rainy day here - oh joy! Take care. lol dons xxx

so frustrating seeing you and sez still having a great time - arrggghhhhh

im not bitter

Hi Guys!

Looks like you're having a good time. Didn't know kangas wore shades!  Thanks Gareth for loaning your house this weekend.  It was a real privilege and the house clearance sale seemed to go really well despite the wet weather.  The neighbours were delighted with the fridge and dishwasher.  We thought that after experiencing the wide open expanses of Australia you would repatriate better to a minimilistic style of living.  After all, having been in Uganda toilet seats aren't really a necessity!  Your loung seems so much bigger but don't lean back too far on the one stool you have left!  Beth and Rocket had great fun this morning in the River.  Rocket only went in not to be outdone by a female!  Anyway after taking in dog walking expenses and our commission I'm afraid no money to pass on from the sale but we enjoyed the indian with your mum and dad!!!  Thanks bud!

Lots of love The Joneses in Ledbury xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Sara, just logged into your travel blog, so pleased that you have had the chance to up date it.  We wish we were with you all, especially the evenings on the beach, they sound absolute heaven.  Tell Gaz that he has taken the sunshine with him, we have rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and curse that we ever mentioned the garden needed water.  Thanks again for Soph's prezzie, it made her day.  She celebrated at our famous haunt "Shilam" with her mates (parents were banned). We are so pleased that you are all having a fantastic time.  Look after yourselves, all our love  Jan, Dave, sophie & not forgetting bella. xxxxx p.s. tell gaz his postcard arrived safely and david's golf practice is rusty.

Hi Sas - just read your latest blog - pleased you're all having such a brilliant time!  

The photos are great  -  incredible part of the world - I never realised how beautiful the east coast was - almost as good as Dorset! -  though I do admit the Aussie sunsets are just a bit better than those off Portland Bill!!   My little camera is doing well! 

Off to see Grandad shortly - 94 years old today!  Great you were able to speak to him - he'd be thrilled to get your call.

After Fraser Island it will be good to chill out for the next couple of days - assuming you survive the bus ride!

Say hi to Cate and Gaz!

Much love to you all

Mum xx
