Roy and Chris, you're right the kids don't want me to leave....theres always someone who stays behind after class to ask me why I'm leaving them! It's heartbreaking! Think it's gonna be a tearful fairwell! And Kate Marchant what's this BoyfriendS chat! You're only supposed to have 1 young lady!!!! See you very soon, missed ya trouble!~

Roy and Chris Dear Sharon, just want to wish you a great last few weeks on your adventure. Really enjoyed all your blogs and videos. I bet your pupils don't want you to come home!! What part of Australia are you hoping to visit later in the year? Roys family live near Perth, Western Aus, very nice, and we have been to Brisbane as well, loved it over that side, much greener, with lots of rain forrest. Take care Sharon and hope you have a good journey home, love Roy and Chris x x

Shaz Hi Roy and Chris, Not been up2 much! Except clearing out the wardrobe for coming home- eeek! Got my black belt in Taekwondo but its very different over here, the adults go through it very fast, Ive done it in just under a year, I was being tested every month so had to learn very fast! Really chuffed that I managed it!!! Yup poor dad's not gonna know where this year has went once I get back in that livingroom!

Roy and Chris Hi ya Sharon, just popped in to see what you're up to. Congrats on your black belt, whats it in. John is a second Dan in karate, so we know you've had to work hard to get there!!! I bet your Mum and Dad are crossing the days off on the calender now, and I expect your Dad's planned where he's gonna hide the t.v remote!! Love Roy and Chris xx

Shaz Cheers guys!! Really chuffed!!!!! Still feels a bit wierd coz dont feel like I should be a black belt but at the same time its not been easy, esp learning it in another language! F*** it whooooo hoooo I'm a black belt!!!!
