Speedo Blue Hello Steph and Alex from the pool side. Still trying to work out who murdered me! Glad to see you are having a wonderful time in Oz - we are all very jealous. Cheryl will be home on Wednesday and I'm sure you are already looking forward meeting up on Beach Day with temperatures of at least 10 degrees C! I hear it is on the Sunday after you fly back. Looking forward to seeing your surfing and BBQ skills. Don't forget to try some Witchetty Grubs and Kangaroo ****icles. Love from Uncle Neil

Dorothy Philpott Hello Alex and Steph, Mum and A. Trudy have relayed to me your "blog" news. Sounds as though you are having a wonderful time - I hope so! When you have travelled all those miles on your tour you will feel as if you have gone round the world about 3 times. Our weather is grotty at the moment - I'm sure yours isn't and I hope it stays that way. Have a holiday of a lifetime and try and remember it all. tons of love Nana Mutti xx

Trudy Hello my darlings Just to let you know we're all thinking of you on your big Australian adventure. So glad you had a good day with Cheryl - seems odd to have 3 of my nieces in Oz ! We will follow your blog avidly although we are off to Devon on Friday. Inevitably, the forecast is dire - thundery showers! Oh well, it should still be fun. Look after each other, lots of love and kisses A.Trudy
